The battery is a 12 volt, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), 35 Amp
Hour, Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery.
Battery/Circuit Breaker
The “quick change” battery cover houses
the 15 amp circuit breaker, 5 amp fuse,
and main wire harness.
Copper Stainless
Prior to the quick change battery cover, a 15 amp circuit breaker was
attached directly to the negativepost of the battery. The copper terminal of
the circuit breaker is attached to the battery terminal with a lock nut. The
black wire lead of the main wire harness is attached to the stainless steel
terminal of the circuit breaker.

The charger is a 12 volt, 7amp charger with Intelli-Charge™ functionality.
Intelli-Charge monitors the charge capacity of the battery. The charger shuts down when then
battery is completely charged. This feature allows the battery to be plugged into a wall socket
for any length of time without concern about over-charging.
The charger has 3 output wires and is plugged directly into the main wire harness with a 3-pin
connector. The positive and negative wires go to the battery, and an “inhibit” wire goes to the
PWM.
The inhibit wire carries voltage to the PWM on pin 7 when the charger is plugged in and
charging the battery. Voltage on pin 7 “inhibits” the PWM from outputting voltage to the motor
thus not allowing the cart to be operated when the charger is plugged in.

(Wire Guide)
The PWM (Pulse Width Modulator) monitors multiple electronic functions and is the central
processor for the cart’s electronics. The PWM (in conjunction with the potentiometer) controls the
speed and direction of the motor hub.
A 10-pin terminal is designed to monitor the cart’s functions through the control box, charger, and
motor.

The control box houses the potentiometer and rocker switch (Power Off/On, Horn, LED light).
The potentiometer is connected to the control throttle and regulates the resistance on pins 1,
2, and 3 of the PWM. This, in turn, controls the speed and direction of the motor.
The rocker switch has an imbedded LED that indicates the battery charge process when the
charger is plugged in and indicates the battery charge level while the cart is in service.

The hub motor is a direct current, brushed disc, 12 (or 24)
volt brake, geared motor.
The motor is powered through a positive (red) and a
negative (black) wire lead protruding from the axle.
The brakes are powered by two black wire leads
protruding from the opposite axle.
The wire leads are pinned and inserted into a 4-pin
connector. The brake leads are inserted into slots 1 and 2.
The negative power lead is inserted into slot 3 and the
positive lead (red) is inserted into slot 4.

Hub Motor
280-1600
Potentiometer/PWM
Relationship
The potentiometer (pot) along with the PWM regulates the speed and direction of the motor. The
PWM monitors the change in resistance on pins 1, 2, and 3 of the 10-pin connector which are
connected to the pot (pins 1, 2, and 3 respectively) through the steering wire harness. The pot is
located in the control box and is physically connected to the throttle control on the cart’s
handlebars. The resistance is varied by the movement of the thumb-control throttle in a forward
and backward direction.
In turn, the PWM emits variable voltage to the positive and negative motor leads (connected to the
PWM), allowing the motor to move at varied speeds forward and backward.
The pot is rated at 5K ohms +/- 10%. This is the resistance between pin 1 and pin 3 on the pot’s
terminals. When the pot assembly is set at the factory, the wiper (pin 2) is calculated and preset to
24% of the total resistance (approx 1.08K to 1.32K ohms). The wiper position of the pot is where
the PWM looks for the “neutral” position. In the neutral position, the PWM cuts power to the motor
leads and brake leads (engaging the brake).

Potentiometer/PWM
Relationship
Over the life of the cart, several things may happen to disrupt the normal resistance between the
pot and the PWM…subsequently sending false readings to the PWM. They are:
•The resistance material in the pot becomes damaged (extremely rare).
•The shaft sticks/freezes (human error during assembly).
•The spring or fork of the pot assembly become damaged.
•The connectors of the steering wire harness loose contact.
•The wires of the steering wire harness break.
When any of these situations occur, the PWM (movement of the cart) may act erratically. Often, the
PWM is diagnosed as having a problem when, in fact, a problem exists with the pot, connectors, or
wire harness.
The PWM is “calibrated” (see next page “Calibrate PWM”) at the factory to the neutral range of the
pot. If the pot assembly or wires become damaged, the resistance (and neutral range) of the pot
can change. Re-calibrating the PWM may resolve the immediate problem but the fix may not be
permanent. The best practice is to validate the condition of the pot, connectors, and wire harness
before attempting to re-calibrate the PWM.
Continue on next page
Calibrate PWM
1. Stand next to the cart. Do not sit on the seat during the calibration steps.
2. Turn the rocker switch to the “ON” position (and the key switch if so equipped).
3. Be sure that the throttle is in neutral position (hands off).
4. Hold down the horn button for a minimum of 10 seconds. Do not let off of the horn.
5. While continuing to hold down the horn, push down and then release in the center of the seat
(activating seat switch) 3 times.
6. Wait a second or two and then release the horn.
If you hear 2 short chirps, the PWM calibrated successfully.
Retest the cart.
If you hear 3 short chirps, the PWM did not recognize a brake
circuit (see the next page “Check Brake Lead”).
If you hear a long chirp in any combination, the PWM did not
calibrate successfully. Calibrate again or replace the PWM.
On occasion, the cart may function erratically. As the last step in troubleshooting a problem, the
PWM can be “calibrated” to the neutral position of the potentiometer. Be certain that the battery is
charged above 10.5 volts and the horn and the seat switch are connected and working properly
before attempting to calibrate the PWM. Without them working properly, the PWM will not calibrate.

Calibrate PWM –
Check Brake Leads
When attempting to calibrate the PWM one might hear 3 short chirps. This indicates that the PWM
did not recognized a brake circuit. The PWM will still function but the brakes will not release causing
undesired performance from the motor. To resolve the brake issues, check the brake circuit from the
PWM to the motor by disconnecting the brake leads from the wire harness at the PWM and placing
an ohm meter on each lead. The meter should read approximately 20 ohms.
If you do not get a good reading, run the same test on brake leads from the motor to the 4-pin
connector.
If you do not get a good reading there, either the male
pins in the connector are bad or the brake circuit inside
the hub motor is bad…repair the pins or replace the
motor.
If you get a good reading, then the PWM-to-Motor wire
harness is bad or the pins in the 4-pin connector are not
making good contact…repair the pins or replace the
harness.

Safety Check
•General Condition – Check for broken frame, tubes, bumpers (frameand basket), basket, handlebars, covers, seats, and armrests.
Any part or piece that may snag a person or store display should be repaired. All mountingscrews (e.g. front coverscrews) should be
checked and replaced as necessary.
•Electrical components – Check all wiring to ensure no evidenceof fraying, crimps or cuts. Ensure that the harness is laying inside
the rear pan and not in a bind or contact with metal parts or componentsthat could rub through the insulation (for example– between the
seat tube and frameon an XTi model cart). Ensure proper circuit breakers are installed and functional.
•Charger cord – In addition to the other electrical components, check for fraying of charger cord and cord plug for damage. Replace
with OEM cord. It is not recommended to replace plug.
•Casters – Check for proper distance from the floor (about ½ inch). Check for bracket welds and position (perpendicular to the floor).
•Seat Latch – Ensure that the latch engages properly and that it secures the seat from tiltingforward.
•Horn – Check for proper functionality and audible level. The horn should activate when pressed and when the cart is moving in reverse.
•Grips – Check the grips on the handlebars to ensure that they firmlygrasp. The grips should not be easily twisted or removed.
•Charger – Check the “inhibit” functionality of the charger. Ensure that the cart does not move under power when plugged into a power
outlet and charging the battery.
•Seat Switch – Ensure that the cart only movesunder power ONLY when someone is sitting in the seat. Occasionally,the seat switch
may be bypassed (jumpered)during cart maintenanceto facilitateproblem diagnosis. Never leave the seat switch bypassed for
normal operation.
•Wheels and Axle – Ensure that wheels are properly aligned, bearings are functional,and axle is not bent or bowed. Check for flat
spots and wear.
This checklist is designed for service technicians to use as a guideline when servicing electrical Mart
Cart shopping carts. The list covers common system safety features that should be checked for proper
installation and functionality. While they may not be presented on this list, all parts and components of
the cart should be checked for proper functionality and either fixed or reported to authorized facility
personnel. All parts must be OEM to ensure proper safety and warranty compliance.

Warranty
The warranty period is calculated from the
month and year of manufacture. The month
and year of manufacture is determined by the
punch-out positions on the serial number label.
In a standard, 2-year warranty period, a cart
would be out of warranty in 2 years on the
month following the month punched out.
Example: Cart built October, 2008 would be in
warranty through October, 2010.
Warranty periods can differ from customer to customer.
Please call our Service department for verification of
warranty periods.
