REMOTE MODE:
The QuicKART can be operated in the remote mode by pressing the "
Radio/Manual
"
switch located on the control panel.
1)
While in remote mode, only one person is needed to collect shopping carts. This
person gathers the carts and adds them to the train while using the remote control
to control forward speed, braking and the warning horn. It is recommended that
carts be formed into a line and then the machine brought up to the line in the
“SLOW”
speed while operating near entrances and near store guests.
Never
use
the “fast“ remote speed near guests, the entrance or within the store.
2)
“NEVER”
press on the remote buttons unless you are at the front of the cart chain
and controlling the lead cart.
“NEVER”
advance additional carts into the store
unless you are at the front of the cart chain. The
“SLOW”
speed is .70mph. The
“FAST”
speed allows movement at a safe walking pace of 2.8mph as carts are
returned to the store
3)
Only one button of the remote control is usable at a time. Press the
"SLOW"
or
"FAST"
button for the speed desired for the existing conditions. The QuicKART
will briefly coast when the control buttons are released, helping to prevent a
separation of carts. If a sudden stop is required, press the
"STOP"
button.
Sudden stops will require the operator to hold back the lead cart at the front of the
train to prevent cart separation.
4)
In an emergency, press and hold the stop button until you walk over and
shut off the key.
5)
When the QuicKART 2000 is stopped, the parking brake automatically engages.
This prevents the QuicKART from rolling on slopes or being pushed manually. If it
is necessary to push the QuicKART (i.e. dead battery or machine not working), the
parking brake can be released by pulling the release lever marked
"Brake
Release"
on the lower right corner at the back of the machine. Once the parking
brake is released, the QuicKART will not operate until the parking brake is pushed
back in. It is recommended that the brake be released only if batteries are dead
and manual pushing is required.
6)
The QuicKART 2000 follows the train of shopping carts as guided by the cart
attendant. The actual turning radius of the cart chain is a function of the design of
the shopping carts being used. The tighter the carts nest together the longer the
turning radius will be. After some experience the QuicKART operator will become
familiar with this and be able to judge what turns will be practical. In practice the
operator places one hand on the cart, at the front of the train, walking along side
and guiding the cart in the desired direction. The other hand is used to operate the
hand held remote control transmitter. When turning the cart chain it is easier to
maintain safe footing by leaning against the lead cart rather than pulling.
