Safety Recommendations and Warnings
WARNING: As with any mobile cart, caution must be taken when
pushing the cart through elevator doorways and over thresholds. It is
recommended that you lower the work surface to waist high and position
the cart so that only one wheel contacts the threshold at a time. This will
help keep the momentum of the cart moving forward and provide a safe
transition.
WARNING: If your JACO Mobile Cart has a Drawer System option, limit weight per drawer to 2 lbs
max, close drawers when moving and do not transport at more than a 5 degree slope.

Proper Operation, Care & Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the Power Blade Charger from the AC wall outlet.
JACO products are designed and manufactured to provide years of operation. Take care to use the product
as intended and keep clean for best overall performance.
Most of the surfaces of your JACO product are finished using a durable, antimicrobial powder coat finish. It
is recommended that the surface areas that are in contact with day to day use be cleaned regularly. Always
review the cleaning products that are being used and verify that it is safe to use on the powder coat finish.
In general, a solution or wipe that is no more than 10% bleach, such as most germicidal wipes used in
hospitals, will be acceptable but it is recommended that you consult with JACO Customer Service if you are
not sure it is safe to use.
Your JACO Mobile Cart does not require any scheduled maintenance however it is good practice to clean the
casters and check that the Cart height adjustment is operating correctly at least once a year. Please contact
JACO Customer Service as needed for more information in maintaining your JACO Mobile Carts.
It is recommended that the Power Blade Charger be located in a clean environment free of liquids, dirt and
dust and a max room temperature of 77 deg (25 C). The Power Blade Charger should be reviewed weekly
for proper care and cleaning. The bays should be used only for the charging of the JACO Power Blade
Battery Packs, any other use may cause damage and will void the warranty.
When cleaning the outside of the Cart Controller, Power Blade Battery Pack or
Power Blade Charger, a dry cloth will be effective for removing dust or light dirt.
If needed, a standard hospital grade germicidal wipe can be used. It is
recommended that the wipe contain no more than 10% bleach to prevent
possible damage to the powder coat metal surfaces.
Inspect the inside bays of the Cart Controller and Power Blade Charger as needed or weekly, remove the
Power Blade Battery Packs to inspect the connections. Remove material that may have accidently dropped
into the Power Blade Charger or Cart Controller.
There should be no reason to clean the inside bay area but if required, make sure the Power Blade Charger
unit is unplugged and a damp (not saturated), less than 10% bleach wipe is used, allow ample drying time.
If the inside connectors pins do become dirty, do not insert any
objects into the contacts. Use compressed air to blow out the build-
up ensuring proper contact and operation.
For more information concerning best cleaning practices, contact our support
team at www.jacoinc.com/support, email at [e-mail] or call 877-
803-0101.

Basic Mobile Cart Integration & Operation
Unpacking & Assembly:
Your JACO Mobile Cart may be delivered stacked with one container on top of another. Please use caution
when removing the top Cart for unpacking. This is a two person lift and the top Cart must be placed on the
ground before unpacking. Once unpacked, there will be minimal assembly required depending on the Mobile
Cart model and options you have ordered. Due to the shipping container, the LCD and Stand (for LCD Carts)
and the optional Scanner Mounts, are not able to be attached at our factory.
Changing the Height Position:
Your JACO Mobile Cart is height adjustable for proper ergonomics when used in a standing or sitting position.
To change the height simply squeeze the handle located at the right side of the cart (as shown below). While
holding the handle tight, the cart height can be changed by pushing downward or pulling upward with both
hands on the cart top surface. Release the lever when the cart is in the desired position.
Installing your computer or laptop:
To install your PC or Laptop, unlock both key-locks at the rear of the top assembly as shown in the photo
below. Both locks must be opened before the top work surface can be pulled forward and removed from
the Cart. Once the work surface is removed, the open bay area (shown below) is available for installing
your computer or laptop. Route all cables needed for proper operation before installing the work surface
and locking in place for security. If using a laptop computer, simply open and allow the display to protrude
through the opening in the work surface.

9
Installing Stand and LCD Monitor:
To attach the monitor stand to the Cart you
will need a 3/8 nut driver to tighten the 4
nuts. Place the monitor stand so that the 4
threaded studs drop into the 4 holes on the
mounting plate that is attached to the rear
handle of the Cart. Use the nut driver to
install and tighten all 4 nuts. Make sure all 4
nuts are tight before moving on.
After the monitor stand is installed on the Cart, attach
the LCD to the stand. A Phillips Head or (if added security
is needed for the LCD) Torx Head driver is needed to
attached the LCD to the VESA Stand, 4 places. Both
Phillips and Torx screws are provided. It is recommended
that one person hold the LCD while a 2nd person inserts
the hardware. Make sure all 4 screws are installed and
tightened properly.
With the monitor and stand installed on the Cart, the LCD
power and signal cables can be installed. Route both
cables down through the cable management area of the
stand as shown to the left. Pull the cables into the Top
Assembly and attach to the PC or laptop computer that
will be installed later.
