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. The coupler yokes can be adjusted up and down
and from side to side to accommodate various types and sizes of shopping
carts. See illustration on page 32 and following.
b. For a cart cup assembly; position the rear wheels of the first shopping cart
into cup assembly. The cart cups can be adjusted from side to side to
accommodate various types and sizes of shopping carts. Then, put the two
locking clevis pins back into place to secure the shopping cart. See
illustration on page 30 and following.
c. Other cart coupling brackets require different steps.
7. Additional shopping carts can now be collected to form a train of a maximum of 30
carts.
RADIO MODE:
The QuicKART can be operated in the Radio Mode by turning the keyswitch to the "
Radio
"
position.
1. While in Radio Mode, only one person is needed to collect shopping carts. This
person gathers the carts and adds them to the train while using the 6-button remote
control to control forward and reverse 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 a
"SLOW"
speed and stopped and then started again to nest the carts.
Continue to use a
"SLOW"
speed while operating near entrances and near store
guests.
Never
use a “
FAST
” Radio speed near guests, the entrance or within the
store.
Never
use the reverse “
FAST
” Radio with a chain of carts.
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 .8 mph. The
“FAST”
speed allows movement at a safe walking pace of 2.7 mph 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 and direction desired for the current 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 without a cart restraint strap 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. The QuicKART M3 E 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 wider 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.
6. After delivering the carts to the store, stop the QuicKART and remove the carts and
manually push them into the store.
