Instructions for Livewire Pro Solar

Cutting Flag System — Customer Manual (Livewire Pro Solar)

Thanks for choosing Livewire Pro. This guide shows you how to set up, use, and care for your cutting flag system.

Quick Start

  1. Attach the solar panel to the vertical rails by removing the provided 1/4” bolts and washers and use them to attach the solar mounting bracket.
  2. Mount the controller box with a clear view of your working area (waist-to-chest height). If mounting to wood, use lag bolts and washers through the rails at all four corners.
  3. Attach the antenna to the box by screwing it onto the gold connector on the left exterior. Without a proper connection, the system will not function correctly.
  4. Attach the line to your motor controller pulley and route it through the end pulley. Use a loop knot at one end and clip into the rope tensioner. Guide the other end through rope tensioner's teeth. Tension line and tie a knot. Attach quick release flag.
  5. Allow the unit to charge in the sun for a day, and charge both remote controls before use. If the remote control is dead, you can operate the system using a usb cord attached to the charge controller port inside the drive unit.
  6. Wake the remote (press the PLAY button). Remote will sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity.
  7. Test motion: Hold Left or Right to move the flag; tap Speed + / Speed – to choose your pace. Stay 5 feet away from end pulleys for safety.

  1. Stop the flag at your starting spot.
  2. Press Record (box REC light blinks).
  3. Drive the flag with Left/Right and Speed as usual.

  • Press Play again to stop early.
  • Any manual button (Left/Right/Speed/Record) also cancels playback.


Placement & Range Tips

  • Typical working range is 100 ft in open arenas.
  • Keep line of sight between the remote and the box.
  • Don’t mount the box behind solid walls.


Charging & Care

Remote (USB-C)

  • Use a USB-C charger. Do not use rapid charging bricks.
  • It’s best to charge before each use.

Controller Box, Line & Solar

  • Light rain is OK. Protect from heavy rain, flooding, snow/ice, and extreme temperatures.
  • Disconnect the battery from at the quick release and remove it for storage or transport to prevent short circuit.
  • Inspect line, clip, and battery wiring regularly; replace worn parts.
  • Wind note: Leaving the flag on in windy conditions will cause the cord to wrap itself. Flag quick-disconnects make removing the flag fast and easy.


Troubleshooting

Flag hesitates or jerks

  • Move closer or face the box; keep line of sight.
  • Check that the antenna is firmly connected 
  • Raise or reposition the box away from big metal posts/walls.
  • Charge the remote.

No movement

  • Press PLAY to wake the remote.
  • Charge the remote
  • Ensure the inline fuse isn’t blown
  • Ensure the line isn’t tangled and hasn’t wrapped from wind.
