ORIENTATION TO THE QUICKART M3-M3 HD
CONTROL PANEL
: (See diagram on page13.) At the back of the Control Panel are
controls and indicator to operate the QuicKART.
On the left is the
Horn
button, pressing the
HORN
button will sound the horn loudly as
long as it is pressed. Next is the
Battery Level Meter
showing the percent of battery
capacity. When the batteries are fully charged, the light on the right will be lit. As the
QuicKART is used throughout the day, that light will go out and the next will come on.
Each light (indicating 10%) will slowly go out becoming fewer as the batteries discharge.
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.
The charging
level is most accurately shown when the QuicKART is pushing carts. 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.
A large red
EMERGENCY
shut off button is located on the center back of the control
panel. (See top and side views of the QuicKART on page 14 and following.) This is
located to provide easy access to stop the machine.
To restart the machine after the
EMERGENCY
shut off button has been activated, pull out the button, turn off the key
switch, wait 1 second, then turn it back on
.
The far right of the control panel also includes two LEDs: The
Controller Status LED
indicates that the QuicKART is turned on and will indicate problems with QuicKART or the
controller. A typical QuicKART fault of the Emergency Shut-off switch engaged is
indicated by a flashing LED.
To restart the machine after the "
EMERGENCY
" shut off
button has been activated, pull out the button, turn off the key switch, wait 1 second, then
turn it back on
. The
Radio Mode LED
indicates that the Radio Mode is on. It also
indicates a radio transmission signal by flashing very fast.
The
Keyswitch
, on the right side of the control panel, can be turned to "
MANUAL
" for
manual operation or to "
RADIO
" for remote operation. Turning the key straight up turns
the QuicKART off. Wait 1 second before turning the QuicKART on again. The Radio Mode
for cart collection allows operation only in the forward direction.
Underneath the LH rear corner of the control panel is the
Radio Learn
button. This button
is pressed as part of the remote programming operation.
MANUAL MODE
: Manual Mode is defined as operating the QuicKART while walking
behind the QuicKART M3-M3 HD. Turning the key counter-clockwise turns the QuicKART
on and places it in manual mode. Steering is controlled from the handle bar. Turning the
thumb wheel throttle controls speed and direction. With respect to the RH thumb wheel;
counter-clockwise is reverse, clockwise is forward. Rotating the thumb wheel farther
increases the speed. Releasing the thumb wheel stops the machine.
