CartManager XD+ Owner-Operator Training and Troubleshooting Guide
Page 1
Overview
A line of thirty shopping carts can easily weigh 1000 pounds or more. When collecting carts from a large parking lot,
that’s a lot of weight to safely get moving, keep moving, steer and stop.
The Gatekeeper Systems CartManager XD+ is a battery powered drive unit that easily pushes a line of up to 30 carts.
The operator controls the speed and direction of the CartManager XD+ using either a set of throttle grips (much like
motorcycle handlebar grips) mounted on the back of the unit, or via a handheld remote control unit.
The operator can start the cart line moving with the push of a button, steer the cart line with one hand, and most
importantly, stop the cart line immediately, if necessary.
This guide consists of three main sections; Operator Training, Troubleshooting and Common Mechanical Procedures.
Operator Training
presents all the information required to safely operate CartManager XD+ for cart retrieval. This
