when those conditions are present.  

Do not exceed 30 carts at a time under any 

circumstance. Refer to your store policy for the maximum cart number.

 

12. Verify all warning and emergency labels are legible and mounted in correct areas 

shown on drawings starting on page 26.  

13. Do not drive over curbs or the edges of hardened surfaces higher than one inch.  
14. Always look behind the QuicKART before and while operating in reverse.  
15. Batteries must be fully charged initially before using the QuicKART.  
16. The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid, which can cause severe burns to the 

skin and eyes.  Wear appropriate protective clothing when working with batteries.  
Treat all electrolyte spills with an extended flushing with clear water.  Contact a 
physician immediately if contact is made with battery acid.  

17. Three types of batteries may be used in the QuicKART: Standard, Maintenance free 

and AGM.  Please check your batteries to see which kind you have, the standard 
battery needs maintenance, and the others do not. 

a.  Standard batteries do require regular maintenance.  Check the batteries 

weekly to add distilled water to the batteries.  

b.  Maintenance free batteries contain liquid and may have caps for filling and 

very rarely need filling. 

c.  AGM batteries have no free liquid and do not require maintenance. 

18. Hydrogen gas is formed when charging the batteries.  Use a location with adequate 

ventilation when charging QuicKART batteries.  Never smoke near batteries.  Do 
not charge batteries in an area with open flame or where there is electrical 
equipment that could cause an electrical arc.  

19. Do not lay metal objects (wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.) on any of the batteries to 

prevent electrical short circuits.  

20. Batteries are heavy.  Always use care and proper lifting technique to avoid injury 

when removing or replacing batteries. 

21. Make sure QuicKART is properly secured when changing tires.  (See instructions 

on page 40.) 

22. An optional strap is available to tether the carts together. To view the procedure to 

strap the carts see the illustration on page 29.
