QuicKART 2000 WARNING & SAFETY NOTES
Please read all the information included in this manual and the service instructions prior to
operating or servicing the QuicKART. In addition, make certain all operators have been
given and passed the certified operators course before using the QuicKART.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
THE RED BATTERY PLUG MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
JUNCTION BOX ANY TIME MAINTENANCE IS BEING PERFORMED
UNDER THE COVER! (See diagram on page 19.)
1) The QuicKART is designed to push shopping carts. Any other use of the
QuicKART is prohibited unless specifically endorsed by the manufacturer.
Improper usage and operation of the QuicKART may void the warranty.
2) You must be at least 16 years old with a valid driver’s license or vision test to
operate the QuicKART. In certain states, regulations may require operators to be
older. Please check your state’s regulations regarding operation of motorized
equipment before using the QuicKART.
3) Never carry passengers on the QuicKART 2000!
4) The QuicKART is equipped with a brake which automatically engages when the
machine is turned off or not in motion. To avoid an accident, do not leave the
machine parked or unattended on slopes. When the QuicKART is to be left
unattended or in storage, turn it “OFF” and remove the key.
5) Do not leave the QuicKART unattended while it is turned “ON”.
6) Operate the QuicKART at a safe speed; go only as fast as safety considerations
allow. Take into consideration the location of store entrances, sidewalks,
pedestrian and vehicle traffic, driveways, and parking lot layout.
7) Always operate in slow speed when near store guests. Operating conditions, such
as wet or slippery pavement or slopes can affect the stopping distance of the
QuicKART. Do not push more carts than the individual operator can safely control
when those conditions are present. Do not exceed 20 carts at a time under any
circumstance.
8) Verify all warning and emergency Labels are legible and mounted in correct areas
shown on drawings shown on pages 8 and 9.
9) Do not drive over curbs or the edges of hardened surfaces higher than one inch.
10) Always look behind the QuicKART before and while operating in reverse.
11) Batteries must be fully charged initially before using the QuicKART.

12) The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid, which can cause severe burns
to the skin and eyes. Wear appropriate protective clothing when working
with batteries. Treat all electrolyte spills with an extended flushing with clear
water. Contact a physician immediately if contact is made with battery acid.
13) Standard batteries do require regular maintenance. It may be necessary to add
distilled water to the batteries.
14) Hydrogen gas is formed when charging the batteries. Use a location with
adequate ventilation when charging QuicKART batteries. Never smoke near
batteries. Do not charge batteries in an area with open flame or where there is
electrical equipment that could cause an electrical arc.
15) Do not lay metal objects (wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.) on any of the batteries to
prevent electrical short circuits.
16) Batteries are heavy. Always use care and proper lifting technique to avoid injury
when removing or replacing batteries.
17) Make sure QuicKART is properly secured when changing tires. (See instructions
on pages 42 and 43.)
18) Two options are available to tether the carts together, a strap or a cart restraint
assembly. These are available as accessories. To view the procedure to strap the
carts see the illustration on pages 11 and 12. The cart restraint assembly also has
a strap and adds a spring to allow some motion of the carts in turns but still
controls them.

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.

QuicKART 2000
IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE NOTES
Check the QuicKART daily, for safe operation.
Improper use or operation of the QuicKART, or the lack of proper maintenance, may
result in decreased performance or damage to the QuicKART. The following parts of the
QuicKART need regular and routine maintenance.
1. Batteries - Add distilled water as necessary. Water levels should be checked
monthly.
2. Tires – Tires are solid (foam filled). Check weekly for wear.
3. Rear Swivel Wheel Bearing – Grease every 6 months (grease gun compatible).
If at any time the QuicKART does not operate correctly, immediately turn it off and
remove the key to prevent further operation. Immediately report any malfunctions to
the store manager responsible for the QuicKART and Dane Technologies at 1-888-544-
7779.
WARNING
Do not permit open flame, sparks or smoking
during maintenance.
Adequate ventilation is essential for safety.
Do not lay metal objects on the batteries.

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.
