OPERATION OF THE QuicKART 2000
MANUAL MODE:
To operate the QuicKART 2000 in the Manual Mode, perform the following steps:
1)
Insert the key into the key-switch located on the control panel. Turn the key
clockwise to turn the QuicKART "on".
2)
Lights on the control panel will show the system status (see illustration on page
33). Confirm that all systems are working properly.
3)
In manual operation, while standing behind the machine, both hands on the
handles, slowly twist the throttle control and the QuicKART will start to move
forward. Slowly release the pressure on the throttle control and the QuicKART
will slow to a stop. When the throttle control is fully released, the electronic
brakes will be applied. When moving forward or backward, a sudden release of
the throttle control will cause the automatic brake to bring the QuicKART to a
sudden halt.
4)
To change the direction of travel, the QuicKART must be stopped. Press the
direction switch on the control panel and the light for the selected direction will be
displayed.
5)
To turn the power off, press the emergency shut off button or turn the key
counter-clockwise.
Note: Do not leave the machine "ON" and do not leave
the key in the switch when unattended.
6)
The collection of grocery carts begins by walking the QuicKART into the parking
lot to a location where customers have left carts. To attach the first cart, open
the locking U-pin on the left side of the cart coupler assembly. Position the rear
of the first shopping cart so that its vertical rear frame is aligned with the yoke
openings on the coupler assembly. Lift the cart slightly off the ground and move
it sideways until it engages both coupler yokes. Then, put the locking U-pin back
into place to secure the shopping cart. It is recommended that the first cart be
left permanently in place or if removed at night, identified, so the same cart is
always attached to the cart. The coupler yokes can be adjusted up and down
and from side to side to accommodate various types and sizes of grocery carts.
See illustration on page 22 and 23.
7)
Additional shopping carts can now be collected to form a train of a maximum of
30 carts.
