CONTROLS
Read and understand all instrucons and control funcons before aempng to operate the
Moto-Cart Jr-LT.
ON-OFF KEY SWITCH
The on-o key switch is located on the right side of the hand control panel mounted on the
Moto-Cart Jr-LT handle bar.
Drive Posion:
To turn the power on, fully insert the key into the key switch, and then turn the key
clockwise. When the power is on, the baery discharge indicator, located on the
top of the hand control panel will illuminate.
EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
The emergency stop switch is located on the face of the hand control panel. Pushing on the red

control panel. A slight push on the top side control lever accelerates the cart away from you. A
slight push on the lower side control lever accelerates the cart towards you. To STOP, release the
control lever. Let the cart come to a complete stop before changing direcons.
BRAKING SYSTEMS
The Moto-Cart Jr-LT has two types of braking systems. It has dynamic regenerave braking while
moving and electromechanical braking for parking.

5
Dynamic Regenerave Braking
Dynamic regenerave braking automacally brings the Moto-Cart Jr-LT to a smooth stop when
you release the control lever. However, it does not lock the wheels in place.
Electromechanical Braking
Aer the dynamic braking as brought the Moto-Cart Jr-LT to a stop, or near stop, the
electro-mechanical brake will lock the wheels in place. The electromechanical brake is a parking
brake and can be applied quickly by pressing down the emergency stop switch located on the
top center right of the control panel. The drive wheels must be contacng the oor surface for
the brake to hold.
PANIC STOPPING
To stop the Moto-Cart Jr-LT in an emergency, release the control levers and press in on the
Emergency Stop Switch located on the face of the hand control panel. To reset the operaon of
the cart, turn the key switch o and then back on.

6
MOTION ALARM
The Moon Alarm switch is located on the top side of the Moto-Cart Jr-LT’s control handle and
is marked with a horn symbol. Push on the buon to sound the moon alarm when the control
levers are operated.
BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR (BDI)
The BDI indicates four ranges of baery condion.
1. Bar #1 indicates the baeries are fully (or nearly) charged.
2. Middle bars 2-9 indicate the baeries are being drawn down. Fully charge the baeries
at the earliest convenience.
3. Bar #10, on le side indicates the baeries need charging. Fully charge as soon as
possible.
4. Flashing Red bars #9 & #10-Charge the baeries at once! Move the Moto-Cart Jr-LT to
the closest 115 Volt 60 HZ AC outlet to charge.
The BDI may uctuate between the dierent ranges depending on the driving condions at the
me. Quick acceleraon or moving between oor surfaces (e.g., concrete to carpet) may cause
the BDI to drop momentarily to the next level.
DRIVING THE CART
The Moto-Cart Jr.LT is equipped with electronically proporonal speed control. Driving speed is
proporonally to the force of your ngers on the control lever. The harder you push, the faster it
will go.
1. Turn the key switch clockwise to the Drive Posion.
2. To go forward (away from you), gently push on the top side control lever. The cart will
start to move and accelerate away from you to the desired speed proporonal to the
pressure on the control lever.
3. To stop, release the control lever. The cart will gently slow down with the aid of dynamic
regenerave braking.
4. To go in reverse (toward you), gently push the lower side control lever. The cart will
accelerate toward you to the desire speed proporonal to your nger pressure on the
control lever.
5. To stop, release the control lever. The cart will gently slow down with the aid of dynamic
regenerave braking.

7
LIFT TABLE OPERATION
The li table is controlled by the foot pump located below the handle and the release lever to
the right and below the Moto-Cart Jr-LT’s control handle.
Lower the pump lever and push down with your foot on the lever to raise the plaorm. Repeat
as necessary to get the desired height.
To lower the plaorm, grasp the release lever and gently push down on the lever unl the
desired height is reached.
CAUTION: Keep hands and feet away from the table and all moving parts while the table is in
moon to prevent injury. DO NOT place anything under the table while it is in a lied posion.
CHARGING
The Moto-Cart Jr-LT is equipped with two absorbed glass mat or gel-cell baeries which require
charging on a regular basis.
To Charge the Moto-Cart Jr-LT:
1. Posion the cart close to a 115 Volt 60 Hz AX power outlet.
2. Turn the power key switch o and remove the key.
3. Remove the charger from storage compartment in the front of the cart, opposite the handle.

8
4. Locate the cart’s main charging port on the deck below hand controls.
5. Plug the charging cord end of the charging port and the power cord from the
charger port and the power cord from the charger into a 115 Volt AC power supply
outlet. Make sure the plug is fully engaged into the supply outlet. If needed, connect
only an industrial grade grounded extension cord to the charging cord and then into the
115 Volt AC power supply outlet.
6. Allow the unit to charge overnight, six to eight hours, for a full charge.
7. Unplug the cord (and extension cord) from the power supply outlet before unplugging
the charger from the cart. The unit will not operate while in the charging mode.
BATTERIES
FOR BEST RESULTS: USE ABSORBED GLASS MAT OR GEL-CELL BATTERIES WITH YOUR
Moto-Cart Jr-LT.
1. The baeries supplied with the Moto-Cart Jr-LT are maintenance free, sealed, absorbed
glass mat or gel-cell baeries. DO NOT remove the baery caps. DO NOT aempt to add
water. This will ruin your baeries and void your warranty. Liquid-electrolyte baeries
are not recommended for use with your Moto-Cart Jr-LT.
2. If a crusty or powdery white substance appears on or around the baery terminals,
clean them using a soluon of baking soda and water with a toothbrush. DO NOT
allow this soluon to enter the baery vents. If you do not clean the baeries when
this substance appears, or if it is le for prolonged periods, it will reduce the quality of
baery connecon and aect performance.

9
3. When replacing the baeries, clean the terminals and baery posts using a wire brush.
When re-aaching the terminals, be sure all connecons are ght. The black wire must
be aached to the negave (-) terminal. The red wire must be aached to the circuit
breaker and to the posive (+) post of the opposite baery. Failure to connect with
proper polarity will damage the control module.
BATTERY LIFE
Baery life depends upon use and proper care. Of you use the Moto-Cart Jr-LT frequently, your
baeries will need replacement sooner than if you only use your Moto-Cart Jr-LT occasionally.
Other factors which can reduce baery life, include: irregular or inecient charging, leaving the
baeries in a discharge state for a prolonged period of me, extreme temperatures and cargo
weight.
If the distance you travel on a charge becomes noceably shorter, and ramps once easily
climbed become dicult to go up, you may need to replace the baeries. Heang or swelling of
the baeries (somemes accompanied by an acrid odor) is another sign that the baeries may
require replacement. If you noce any of these condions, have your baeries load tested.
BATTERY LOAD TESTING
A “load test” is a sure test of baery condion, and can be performed by your local Authorized
Service Center.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
A manually reset circuit breaker is located on one baery aached to the posive (+)
terminal. The circuit breaker protects the wiring and baeries against damage in the event of
short circuit.
If a breaker opens, try to determine the cause or reason why it opened. Reset the breaker by
pushing in on the tab. If it opens again in a short me-there is a short circuit which must be
found and corrected. DO NOT TAPE THE TAB DOWN.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE BREAKER! DO NOT REMOVE OR BYPASS THE CIRCUIT BREAKER! If any
addional wiring is added to the Moto-Cart Jr-LT, it must not bypass the breaker
