UNPACKING THE QuicKART 2000
1) The QuicKART 2000 is typically shipped on a wooden pallet. It comes with
additional components packaged inside the QuicKART. Care must be taken not to
damage them during the unpacking. The components are:
a) QuicKART, the basic electric machine with two keys,
b) A box including: a Remote Control Transmitter, to remotely control the
QuicKART, and Cart Coupler Hardware (yokes for the cart coupler).
2) Remove all the plastic film that is wrapped around the system components. Take
care not to bend beacon post components (especially the antennas) when removing
the plastic. Cut banding material, which holds the QuicKART to the pallet.
3) Raise the hood to find a small box containing the remote control, and cart coupler
hardware. Remove this box and set it aside.
4) To remove the QuicKART from the pallet, use a sturdy wooden board(s) to create a
ramp. Remove all straps holding the QuicKART to the shipping pallet. Insert the key
and turn on the QuicKART. Turn the twist grip slowly and guide the QuicKART
forward, down the ramp to the floor.
5) Turn OFF the QuicKART.
6) Make sure the machine is OFF, the Beacon post hinges from a center position on a
bolt and nut already installed. Swing it to an 11:00 o’clock position. Remove the bolt
at the bottom of the beacon post bracket. Replace the bolt in the bottom holes and
tighten lightly. Use care not to damage the wires. Take care not to damage the
antenna, lights or the cable connectors at the ends of this beacon post.
7) To attach the cart coupler yokes, refer to the diagrams starting on page 22 of the
Owner’s Manual.
8) Each hand-held remote control transmitter operates on a unique pre-programmed
code. For the QuicKART to operate in the Remote Mode, the receiver, which is in
the beacon post, must be programmed to match the hand held transmitter. See
page 39 for directions on how to program the remote control transmitter.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATION
The QuicKART is an electrically powered shopping cart collection machine. It has several
unique and patented features, which allow it to be used safely and simply in the shopping
cart collection process.
The QuicKART provides the pushing power for a single employee to safely and easily
move a maximum of 20 shopping carts from the parking lot into the store. Its ability to
operate in remote control mode allows a single employee to steer the chain of carts from
the front of the cart line while controlling the QuicKART as it pushes and follows from
behind.
The QuicKART has proven its ability to work in all types of weather ranging from extreme
heat or cold to rain and snow. The QuicKART has operated dependably in winter
weather as cold as -20 degrees. It will also push carts through loose snow. On packed
snow the QuicKART 2000 will push 10 to 20 carts. Winter operation can be enhanced
with the use of optional snow tires.
The QuicKART operates on a 36-volt battery system. It will operate for up to ten
hours on a single charge. Cold weather will reduce operating time. It will require
eight to ten hours to fully recharge the batteries.
Each hand-held remote control transmitter operates on a unique pre-programmed
code. For the QuicKART to operate in the Remote Mode, the receiver, which is in
the beacon post, must be programmed to match the hand held transmitter, see
page 39 for details. The remote is powered by internal batteries, which should be
changed every two months for dependable operation. The small light on the remote
will cease to operate when the battery needs replacing. After battery replacement,
the remote must be reprogrammed; see page 39 for details.
The QuicKART is a productivity-enhancing tool, which will be most effective when it is
well maintained and used responsibly. Training of employees is very important. Please
read and review this manual. We strongly recommend that a training and operator
certification program be developed and implemented to assure adequate training and
safe operation.
The use of the Dane Technologies’ "Cart Depot" creates an integrated system for cart
collection, which enhances productivity even further. Additional optional accessories for
the QuicKART are also available. These include an optional snowplow, snow tires and
chains.

SYSTEM JUNCTION BOX DIAGNOSTIC LIGHTS
Supply Fault: There are two conditions that cause this diagnostic light to come on:
1. When this light remains on (but not flashing) it indicates the
machine was turned off by pushing on the red emergency shut off
button on the control panel. The machine will not function while the
light is on. To reset, pull out the button, turn the key switch off, then
on again. This condition does not require service. (The key switch is
the correct way to turn off the machine when it is stored or set aside
for periods of time.)
2. When this light is flashing, it indicates that there is a problem in
either the beacon post or the control panel. In a fault condition the
“supply fault” light starts flashing as soon as the machine is turned on
with the key switch. The machine will not function while the light is
flashing. The control panel lights may remain lighted for 3-seconds
then shut down but the fault light will remain flashing as long as the
fault condition exists.
To determine if the problem is in the beacon post, turn off the machine
with the key switch, unplug the cable leading to the beacon post then
turn the key switch on again. If the problem is in the beacon post the
machine will operate normally but only in the “manual” mode. If the
problem is somewhere in the control panel circuitry, the fault light will
continue to flash and the panel lights will go off in about 3 seconds.
Remote Brake: LED lights to indicate presence of “Brake” command from receiver. It
has no effect in manual mode.
Remote Slow: LED lights to indicate presence of “Slow” drive command from
receiver. Must light in conjunction with “Drive” Command LED in
“Remote” mode in order to operate machine. It has no effect in
manual mode.
Remote Fast: LED lights to indicate presence of “Fast” drive command from
receiver. Must light in conjunction with “Drive” command LED in
“Remote” mode in order to operate machine. It has no effect in
manual mode.
Drive Command: LED lights to indicate drive signal is being sent to motor control.
Low Battery: LED lights when battery voltage is too low to operate machine
properly (below approximately 27 volts).
Hour Meter: Hour glass symbol blinks every ten seconds when drive command is
present to indicate that meter is timing machine operation.

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 34.) 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 34.) At the top of the Control Panel are 5
lights which 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.

A large red or blue "EMERGENCY" shut off button is located on the backside of the
control panel. (See top and side views of the QuicKART on pages 17 and 18) 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 2 seconds, then turn it back on.
STEERING: In Manual Mode, the QuicKART 2000 is turned by exerting light pressure on
the handlebars, to the left or right, similar to steering a bicycle. In Remote Mode, steering
is controlled by guiding the lead cart in the desired direction.
ACCELERATION AND BRAKING: Acceleration and braking of the QuicKART are
controlled by the twist grip throttle located on the right handle bar. QuicKART speed is
controlled by twisting the throttle, similar to a motorcycle throttle. Braking action occurs
as pressure is released. Braking force can be controlled for quick or gradual stops.
Twisting the grip slowly brings the QuicKART to a gradual stop. Releasing it rapidly stops
the QuicKART very quickly. Maximum braking force is applied when the throttle is fully
released.

OPERATION OF THE QUICKART 2000
MANUAL MODE:
To operate the QuicKART 2000 in the Manual Mode, perform the following steps:
1) Insert the key into the key-switch located on the control panel. Turn the key
clockwise to turn the QuicKART "on".
2) Lights on the control panel will show the system status (see illustration on page
34). Confirm that all systems are working properly.
3) In manual operation, while standing behind the machine, both hands on the
handles, slowly twist the throttle control and the QuicKART will start to move
forward. Slowly release the pressure on the throttle control and the QuicKART will
slow to a stop. When the throttle control is fully released, the electronic brakes will
be applied. When moving forward or backward, a sudden release of the throttle
control will cause the automatic brake to bring the QuicKART to a sudden halt.
4) To change the direction of travel, the QuicKART must be stopped. Press the
direction switch on the control panel and the light for the selected direction will be
displayed.
5) To turn the power off (emergency only), press the emergency shut off button or
turn the key counter-clockwise. Note: Do not leave the machine "ON" and do
not leave the key in the switch when unattended.
6) The collection of grocery carts begins by walking the QuicKART into the parking lot
to a location where customers have left carts. To attach the first cart, open the
locking U-pin on the left side of the cart coupler assembly. Position the rear of the
first shopping cart so that its vertical rear frame is aligned with the yoke openings
on the coupler 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. It is recommended that the first cart be left permanently
in place or if removed at night, identified, so the same cart is always attached to
the cart. The coupler yokes can be adjusted up and down and from side to side to
accommodate various types and sizes of grocery carts. See illustration on page 23
and 24.
7) Additional shopping carts can now be collected to form a train of a maximum of 20
carts.

REMOTE MODE:
The QuicKART can be operated in the remote mode by pressing the "Radio/Manual"
switch located on the control panel.
1) While in remote mode, only one person is needed to collect shopping carts. This
person gathers the carts and adds them to the train while using the remote control
to control forward 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 the
“SLOW” speed while operating near entrances and near store guests. Never use
the “fast“ remote speed near guests, the entrance or within the store.
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 .70mph. The
“FAST” speed allows movement at a safe walking pace of 2.8mph 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 desired for the existing 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 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) When the QuicKART 2000 is stopped, the parking brake automatically engages.
This prevents the QuicKART from rolling on slopes or being pushed manually. If it
is necessary to push the QuicKART (i.e. dead battery or machine not working), the
parking brake can be released by pulling the release lever marked "Brake
Release" on the lower right corner at the back of the machine. Once the parking
brake is released, the QuicKART will not operate until the parking brake is pushed
back in. It is recommended that the brake be released only if batteries are dead
and manual pushing is required.
6) The QuicKART 2000 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 longer 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.

BATTERY CHARGING
The QuicKART 2000 is powered by three, 12-volt, Deep Cycle batteries. Under normal
usage they will power the QuicKART for 10 or more hours, when the ambient
temperatures are above approximately 40 degrees F. Colder temperatures will reduce
the operating time of the batteries and increase the charging time. To optimize battery
power, store the QuicKART in a room with a temperature of at least 50 degrees F.
To recharge the batteries, park the QuicKART in a well-ventilated location near an
electrical outlet. The QuicKART must be turned off and the key removed.
FIRST, plug the 10-foot extension cord into the connector located at the lower left rear of
the QuicKART. Use special care to ensure the extension cord is properly seated
inside the connector. Failure to do so can cause improper charging or damage to
the battery charger.
SECOND, connect the charger's 10-foot power extension cord into a wall receptacle. The
battery charger will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully charged. This takes
between eight to ten hours, depending upon initial state of charge and battery condition.
Make sure the power to the wall receptacle is not turned off during the nightly
recharging time.
To put the QuicKART back into service, after the batteries are fully charged, disconnect
the charger's power extension cord from the wall receptacle and from the lower
receptacle at the lower left rear of the QuicKART. Store the extension cord in an
appropriate location.
Lights on the battery charger show the charging rate. Fully discharged batteries will
result in a charging rate of up to 16 amperes. As the batteries become fully charged this
rate will drop to less than 10 amperes. A solid yellow light indicates maximum charge, a
yellow and flashing green indicate partial charge completion. A green light indicates
completion of charge. The red light indicates AC power is connected and on.
Do not use long extension cords. Use the 10-foot cord supplied with the machine.
Find a location for re-charging which is close to an electrical outlet receptacle. If
another cord must be used, it must be 16 gauge or larger and no longer than 10
feet in length.

REMOTE CONTROL: BATTERY CHANGING DIAGRAM
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Each hand-held remote control transmitter operates on a unique pre-programmed code.
For the QuicKART to operate in the Remote Mode, the receiver, which is in the beacon
tower, must be programmed to match the hand held remote control. Every time the
battery in the remote control is replaced, the remote control needs to be reprogrammed to
match the receiver code in the beacon tower. If the QuicKART stops responding to the
remote control, check the status of the remote battery by depressing one of the remote
buttons. If the red LED light does not illuminate, change the battery and reprogram the
remote control as follows:
1) Turn on the QuicKART.
2) Switch to "RADIO" on the control panel.
3) Hold remote about arms length from the beacon post.
4) Simultaneously push these three buttons:
• Rubber button located on the underside of the square box
on the beacon post (see pages 17 and 18);
• Stop button on the hand-held remote (page 34);
• Horn button on the hand-held remote (page 34).
5) The horn should sound indicating the reprogram is complete and the QuicKART is
ready for operation.
6) If the horn did not sound, retry the above steps making sure that the switch on the
control panel is on "RADIO". If the horn still did not sound, you can also determine if
the reprogram was successful by pressing the slow button on the remote to see if the
QuicKART now responds to the remote signal.

CHANGING FRONT TIRES
FRONT DRIVE TIRES:
Turn QuicKART off and remove key.
QuicKART must be on a flat surface. Make sure the automatic brake is functional and on.
Use protective eye wear at all times.
1) Slightly loosen the four (4) lug nuts, about 1/2 turn, from the wheel needing
service. Use a 9/16-inch socket. IMPORTANT: Do not remove any of the nuts;
only slightly loosen them while the wheel is still on the ground.
2) Use a jack to lift the front of the QuicKART off the ground approximately 2 to 3
inches. Insert a sturdy and stable block under the frame to hold it securely in this
elevated position.
3) Unscrew the four 9/16-inch, front wheel lug nuts and place them in a location
where they will not become lost. Remove the wheel. The new or repaired wheel is
placed back on the front hub with the tire stem facing out. Replace the 4 lug nuts
with the beveled side toward the inside and tighten.
4) Using the jack, lift the QuicKART off the supporting block (see item #2 above).

QuicKART 2500 OPERATOR TRAINING MANUAL
BASIC INFORMATION
Purpose of QuicKART: The task of collecting shopping carts from the parking
lot and returning them to the cart storage area/room is a
job that can be time consuming, monotonous and
expose associates to injuries such as sprains and
strains. The QuicKART is a battery powered machine
that assists in the collection of shopping carts. By
utilizing the QuicKART to collect shopping carts the
collection process becomes more efficient, enjoyable
and greatly reduces the need for associates to
manually push carts.
Trainer’s Guide: The Trainer’s Guide, which follows is designed to
provide a step by step approach to presenting a
QuicKART Operator Training and Certification Program
for employees. This guide will aid you in training
associates on the proper operation of the QuicKART.
Operator Requirements: Those employees who may be expected to operate the
QuicKART must be trained and authorized to operate it
before being permitted to use it. Successful completion
of the training program and quiz shall qualify as being
trained and authorized.
No one under the age of 16 years old may be permitted
to operate the QuicKART. The Department of Labor
and Industry in some states may require that operators
of the QuicKART be 18 years old or older.
Any associate involved in an accident or injury involving
the QuicKART must be retrained.
Training: Training is an important way of making sure all
associates understand how the QuicKART operates
and how to use it to collect shopping carts from the
parking lot.

QuicKART 2500 IMPORTANT OPERATING PROCEDURES
(Optional Transparency and/or Handout)
Review of procedures for trainees:
1. Before operating the QuicKART, check to be sure all tires look in good condition,
check that the light is flashing, steering is ok and brake works. If any problems are
identified, do not operate machine--remove key and notify supervisor.
2. When proceeding down a sloped lot with a chain of carts, walk to the side of the
front cart and hold back on the lead cart or use strap to prevent carts from
separating. Proceed at a pace that will allow you to stop carts fairly quickly should
the need arise.
3. Never stand or walk in front of carts being pushed or attempt to stop carts by
standing in front of a chain of carts.
4. When passing through a narrow area with chain of carts, allow enough room
between carts and any fixed object so that you don’t become wedged between them.
5. Never allow anyone to ride on shopping carts when collecting carts. Slowly stop the
QuicKART and politely ask the person to get off.
6. When approaching employees or customers with a chain of carts, slow down and
allow them to pass where possible; otherwise, politely indicate, “Excuse me please,
cart collection passing through. Thank you.”
7. The person who is directing the chain of carts must always be in possession of the
remote control transmitter and in control of the speed of the QuicKART and chain of
shopping carts.
8. Never attempt to “steer” a line of carts by using the handles on the machine. Always
use the remote control and lead from the front when two or more carts are loaded at
the front of the QuicKART.
9. If for any reason the QuicKART does not stop properly or is not completely under
your control, press the emergency shut-off button on the control panel, remove key
and notify your supervisor immediately.
10. When battery level on the QuicKART control panel indicates 20% or less, drive it to
the designated parking area and plug it into the electrical receptacle for recharging.
This will help to keep the batteries charged. Parking area must be in a large, wellventilated area to prevent buildup of explosive hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or
permit any open flame or spark sources nearby when charging batteries.

11. If the remote control unit for the QuicKART does not work, check to be certain the
QuicKART mode is set for Remote. If it still does not work the batteries may need to
be replaced. Last, make sure that the programmable code in the hand held remote
matches the store’s code.
12 Remember when collecting carts and returning them to the store that you physically
have to steer and stop the carts. Adjust your speed so that you maintain control of
the carts and can react quickly to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
13 As you turn corners from the front of the line of carts, make sure that the QuicKART
clears objects such as curbs or posts.
14 The speed of the QuicKART in the Manual Mode is determined by how far you turn
the twist grip throttle. Braking is done by releasing the twist grip throttle. The
quicker you release the throttle the faster the QuicKART stops.
15 Upon approaching the cart storage room/area with a chain of shopping carts, stop
using the QuicKART to push the carts and manually push no more than 10 carts or
the store policy at a time through the cart room door(s) and into the cart room. Do
not use the QuicKART to push the carts through the cart room door since this can be
a congested or narrow area.
16 Avoid blocking the drive lane areas with shopping carts. Select an approach to the
cart room that won’t cause shopping carts and the QuicKART to protrude into the
drive lane when stopped and manually pushing carts into the cart room.
17 Always use caution on wet or slippery pavement. Stopping distances are greater
and the risk of slip and falls increase. In these conditions, reduce the number of
carts to a number that can be managed safely.
18 Always operate the QuicKART safely and courteously. Do not assume that drivers
or pedestrians will see you and stop.
