ORIENTATION TO THE QuicKART 2000
MANUAL MODE
: Manual Mode is defined as operating the QuicKART while walking
behind the QuicKART 2000. Direction is controlled by the handle bar. Speed is
controlled by turning the twist grip throttle. Direction is controlled by touching the touch
pad switch located on the control panel. When the switch is pressed, the direction
changes between forward and reverse as indicated by the direction light.
REMOTE MODE
: (See diagram on page 33.) Remote Mode is defined as operating
the QuicKART with the remote control while standing or walking alongside the lead cart
of the cart chain coupled to the QuicKART 2000. Steering is controlled by guiding the
lead cart in the desired direction. Forward speed, brakes and horn are operated with
the hand held radio remote control. While in remote mode, the QuicKART will only
move forward.
CONTROL PANEL
: (See diagram on page 33.) At the top of the Control Panel are five
lights that show the percent of remaining battery capacity (Battery Charge Level).
When the batteries are fully charged the light at the "100" mark will be lighted. As the
QuicKART is used throughout the day, the lights will slowly change from 100 to 80, 60,
and 40 until the light for 20 is lighted. The charging level is most accurately shown
when the QuicKART is pushing carts. When the 20% capacity light starts to flash on
and off, it means there are approximately 4 minutes of remaining power before the
QuicKART automatically shuts down. If the QuicKART does shut down, turn the key off
for a few minutes, then on again. This may allow time to reach the charging station.
Recharge the batteries for at least 8 to 10 hours or until fully recharged.
The control panel also includes a series of 4 lights and panel button switches with the
following functions:
The light labeled "
MANUAL
" is for manual operation and "
RADIO
" is for remote
operation. The push button switch, just below these two lights, will toggle between
manual and remote control. The QuicKART will automatically set to manual operation
and forward whenever it is turned on. It cannot be moved from manual to remote
operation when the QuicKART is moving, only when it is stopped.
The light labeled "
FORWARD
" is for Forward-Direction operation and "
REVERSE
" is for
Reverse-Direction operation. The push button switch, just below these two lights, will
toggle between forward and reverse QuicKART direction. The QuicKART will always be
set to forward operation whenever it is turned on. The switch will not change the
operational direction until the QuicKART is stopped. For safety, the remote mode
allows operation only in the forward direction.
Pressing the "
HORN
" button will sound the horn loudly as long as it is pressed.
