Charging Your Cart Battery
Power up your sideline cart and check your battery bank status before needing to use your system.
•
Check your AC power switch. The cart’s AC power distribution unit’s switch (located on the front rack, behind the acrylic
door) must be in the RESET (ON) position for the cart battery bank to charge.
IMPORTANT: CoachComm recommends leaving this switch in the ON position at all times.
• Plug in your cart every week to charge. This prevents the cart battery bank from
being too low to power on or to charge with the onboard system.
»If the cart has been stored with the breaker (located in the belly compartment)
in the ON position without connection to AC power during that time, the batteries
may be too low to power your system. Contact CoachComm Customer Support at
1.800.749.2761 for assistance if this occurs with your cart.
• Turn breaker OFF when traveling. The battery bank breaker protects the cart’s
battery circuit from damage resulting from an overload or short. The breaker should
be turned OFF when transporting the cart to away games and also if the cart is
stored for more than one week without use. Allow enough space to access the belly
compartment when storing or transporting so you can turn on the breaker and activate
the drive system to unload the cart.
Unlocking Your Roll-Up Door
For carts shipped in 2017 (those with a black rooftop), always remove your key from
the lock of the roll-up door before opening it
. Failure to do so may cause the key
to break off in the lock. Improvements to this area of the cart will be implemented at a
later date.

Engaging the Brake
The sideline cart drive system uses a magnetic brake. Even with no power to the cart, the brake will function. CoachComm
recommends leaving the brake engaged at all times unless a loss of power or another issue with the drive system occurs—in which
case, the brake needs to be disengaged in order to manually roll or tow the cart. Make sure that your brake lever is fully seated in its
position; never allow the lever to “oat” in its notch.
CAUTION! Never operate the drive system without rst checking the status of the brake. If you can manually move the cart, the
brake is disengaged, and you should NOT use the drive system; severe system damage and personal injury may occur.
Note: Second-generation model X-System carts (those with a black rooftop) have a different brake lever than rst-generation
carts (those with a silver top). In both cases,
Transporting Your Cart
• When transporting the sideline cart, secure it to the oor or sidewalls of your truck/trailer using the cart’s tie-down points.
• IMPORTANT: For added safety, verify that the cart’s brake is engaged before transporting.
• Turn the battery bank breaker OFF when traveling.
• Use heavy duty straps rated for at least 1200 lbs.
• Secure any equipment neighboring the cart during transit to prevent it from colliding with the cart.
• Place cardboard or other material between tie-down straps and cover for added protection.

Connecting Your RT Cable
Note: For customers with only one RT rack, mount the rack to the highest point on the mast and connect only one
of the RT cables in the bundle from the Cart’s rear patch panel. (You may use either red or blue, the color on
the cable does not matter, but you should NOT use both.)
Loading Your Conguration File
Only load your CoachComm conguration le (saved from X-Ware) to the top (primary) Control Unit (CU). Loading the le to the
bottom (secondary) CU may cause system malfunction. Once loaded to the primary CU, the conguration will be automatically active
on the secondary CU and on other devices.
Discard Your CoachComm USB Flash Drive
The ash drive originally provided with your X-System—fastened on a green or blue lanyard—has functioned inconsistently
when inserted into the front of the CU to load conguration les. Please back up any les saved to this ash drive, then discard it.
CoachComm will soon provide a replacement ash drive for you.
Be sure that any ash drive inserted into the front of the CU is fully inserted and securely seated in the port; do not bump or jar the
drive while it is inserted, or you may experience a loss in connection.
The RT cable from the cart’s rear patch panel connects to the X-NET IN port of the rst RT.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT connect this cable to an RT LOOP port.
