This manual provides information about the PFlow Industries, Inc. custom designed
Cartveyor™ shopping cart conveyor. As the nations’ leading manufacturer of vertical
material handling equipment, PFlow Industries, Inc. is condent that this new
shopping cart conveyor will provide many years of reliable service.
The Cartveyor™ provides a safe and simple means of moving PFlow Industries, Inc.
approved shopping carts from one level to another. The simplicity of design requires
less space than a moving walkway while moving large numbers of shopping carts
more eciently than an elevator.
When a shopping cart is inserted through the infeed gates of the Cartveyor a
“V-shaped guide, positioned at the machines entrance, funnels the tow bar into
proper position. The Cartveyor™ senses the presence of the shopping cart and
activates the conveyor drive system.
The special tow bar mounted to the bottom front of the shopping cart framework is
engaged by the Cartveyor™ conveyor chain and transports the cart to the next oor.
The customer uses an adjacent escalator to accompany the cart to the next oor.
When the shopping cart arrives at the discharge area, the shopping cart tow bar
releases a lock and allows the shopping cart to move through the discharge gates. If
additional carts are in the Cartveyor™, it will continue to operate until all carts are
discharged. If aer a predetermined period of time, no additional carts have entered
through the infeed gates, the system pauses, entering a “sleep-mode” until another
cart activates the Cartveyor™.
Please note that although PFlow Industries, Inc. includes various features (see Special
Features) on each Cartveyor™ to account for certain contingencies, these features can
be bypassed. In addition, not all contingencies can be logically accounted for. Each
Cartveyor™ device is not “fool-proof”.
If an accident occurs (or has the potential to occur) involving injury to persons
and/or damage to equipment and property, due to the misuse and negligence of this
equipment (said equipment being the Cartveyor™ and any related equipment) PFlow
Industries, Inc. can not be held liable or accountable.
Also, any maintenance work performed on said equipment by anyone not authorized
or trained by PFlow Industries, Inc., which directly or indirectly is the cause of or
the potential cause of an incident (said incident being the injury to persons and/or
damage to equipment and property), PFlow Industries, Inc. can not be held liable
or accountable.
PFlow Industries, Inc. has designed, engineered, and manufactured what it believes
to be safe and reliable equipment to transport shopping carts from one level to
the next, providing it is used in a safe and responsible manner as proscribed in
this manual.
In the event of any malfunction of the Cartveyor™ or in the event of any incident involving
the Cartveyor™ that results in property damage or personal injury, the Cartveyor™
should not be operated until PFlow Industries, Inc. has determined the cause of any such
malfunction or incident and all remedial measures have been performed on this equipment.

Each Cartveyor™ incorporates various mechanical and electrical features that provide
a safe and ecient way of moving shopping carts from one level to another. In
summary, these features include the following:
zA Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides computer-based control over
all electrical functions of the conveyor.
zA Human-Machine Interface (HMI) [sometimes called a Touch-Screen
Interface] on each infeed gate displays system status and some options,
customer instructions, as well as direct control of the Cartveyor’s™ functions by
authorized personnel.
zAn exclusive “Sleep Mode” conserves power and wear on the equipment by
causing the machine to pause when no shopping carts are present or detected.
zA High-Eciency Electric Motor uses less power than a conventional motor.
zGates with one-way swinging panels and warning signage discourage customers
from entering the shopping cart tow area.
zPhoto-Electric Sensors (Photo Eyes) at various locations stop the conveyor
motion as well as initiate other functions when the shopping cart or foreign
objects are detected.
zAn exclusive Conveyor Chain with lugs tows the shopping cart from level to
level by means of the tow bar feature mounted to the bottom front framework of
each cart.
zA Red Light (LED) at each discharge gate remains lit if a fault condition is
detected. Note that this is an option, and not present on all units.
zA Signaling Buzzer at each gate alerts store personnel to a fault.
zAn Emergency Stop Push-button on each gate and in the lower pit stops the
conveyor’s motion immediately.
zAuto Mode is the default mode for Cartveyor™ operation when used by the
general public. This mode safely conveys a customer’s shopping cart from one
level to the next automatically and goes into a suspended state of movement
aer a predetermined amount of idle time.
zAssociate Mode allows only authorized personnel to reset faults and manually
operate the conveyor in forward motion via the HMI.
zManager Mode is similar to Associate Mode, but with additional control over
certain functions and access to usage counters.
zFactory Mode is used to operate the conveyor during service and maintenance
by PFlow Industries, Inc. service personnel only!
zLocking Gates are standard safety devices located in the infeed and discharge
areas. The locking gates are designed to prevent non approved shopping carts
from entering the Cartveyor™

Manual
Safety Alert Symbols
Important: carefully read the entire manual upon receipt of the Cartveyor™.
Improper installation, alteration, adjustment, service, cleaning, or
maintenance could result in death, severe injury, or property damage.
Instructions and warnings must be read and thoroughly understood by all
owners representatives. PFlow Industries, Inc. recommends that the owner
conduct regular sta training including safety instructions on a regular basis
to avoid the risk of accident or damage to the Cartveyor™.
Following procedures other than those indicated in this guide to install, use,
and maintain the Cartveyor™ is considered inappropriate and may cause fatal
accidents, personal injury, or property damage, in addition to invalidating
the warranty.

Precautions
De-energize
the Circuit
High Voltage! Personnel servicing or maintaining Cartveyors may be
exposed to death or serious personal injury if hazardous energy is
not properly controlled. De-energize any circuit before work is begun.
Follow your facilities procedures or OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO)
procedures anytime maintenance or service is being performed on any
electrical box or component.
The incoming voltage source must match the voltage identified on the rating tag.
The rating tag provides essential technical information required for any installation,
maintenance, or repairs. Do not remove, damage, or modify the rating tag.
1. Lockout/tagout whenever any work, maintenance, or service is performed
on any electrical box or component. Make sure circuits are de-energized
before starting work, using a functional, properly rated, and well
maintained multimeter or voltage sensing device. Make sure the device is
rated for the level of voltage being measured and is sensitive enough for
the application.
2. Use fuse pullers to change a fuse; never use bare hands, pliers,
orscrewdrivers.
3. Install covers on exposed electrical devices or wires to protect personnel
from serious injury.
4. Ground all metal connection boxes, switch boxes, starting boxes,
transformers, motors, limit switches, interlocks, HMI display panel, and
emergency stops to prevent shock to personnel.
5. When using a portable meter, never leave one lead dangling with the other
lead connected. Anyone touching the lead may receive a shock through
themeter.
6. Make sure that all is clear following lockout/tagout procedures before
applying power to a circuit. This is necessary in order to protect personnel
from injury and to prevent damage to the equipment.
7. Avoid accidental contact with equipment or conductors which are known to
be energized or are not known to be de-energized. If it is necessary to work
on equipment while it is energized, use extra care. Always test and repair
equipment that appears damaged or delivers an electric shock.
Take time to be careful! Follow all safety precautions to prevent death or
personal injury.

electrical connections and permanent wiring must be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with applicable local or national electrical codes.
Arc flash and shock hazard appropriate PPE is required. This equipment must
be adequately grounded in accordance with local electrical codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the current edition of the National Electrical Code
NFPA No. 70.
When electrical repair or maintenance work is required that prohibits de-energizing
the circuits involved, extreme caution must be used. The work should be completed
only by authorized, well trained and supervised personnel who are fully aware of the
dangers involved. All practical safety measure must be used to protect the personnel
performing the required work. In addition to the NFPA No. 70 codes, the following
precautions must be taken:
1. Remove all wristwatches, watch chains, rings, necklaces, metal appendages to
clothing, oversized metallic belt-buckles, metal piercings, or loose clothing. These
items have the potential to make accidental contact with energized surfaces. In
addition, secure long hair with a hair net or cover with a plastic helmet.
2. Remove all hair barrettes or bobby pins. These items are electrically conductive and
accidental contact may cause serious personal injury.
3. Wear dry clothing and shoes. Moisture should not be present on the soles ofshoes.
Water is electrically conductive and accidental contact may cause death or serious
personalinjury.
4. Insulate the worker from the ground. Cover any adjacent grounded metal surfaces
with an insulating material. Suitable insulating materials are dry wood, rubber
mats, dry canvas, dry phenolic material, or heavy, multi-ply paper (cardboard).
Make sure that the insulating material has no holes present and there are no
conductive materials (e.g., staples) embedded. Cover a sucient area with the
insulating material to make sure that adequate space is permitted for worker
movement.
5. Use insulated tools when working on energized circuits or fuse box. These insulated
tools must be rated to withstand the voltage of the energized circuits.
The installation electrician must take the following precautions:
1. Locate and review the electrical schematics furnished with the equipment.
2. Verify the proper t-up, wiring and operation of all required electrical components.
