Inspection and Service Recommendations
The following list outlines the inspection and service recommendations to be
performed on a daily basis and during all service work. 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 store/facility
personnel upon completion of service.
All parts and configurations must be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
to ensure proper safety, warranty compliance, and UL compliance. In the event that
any part(s) or system does not pass inspection, the cart should be marked as "Out of
Service, " stored in a location not accessible by store/facility customers, and reported
to maintenance personnel/provider. Also see "Daily Maintenance Check List" posted
on cart and the recommendations below.
• General Condition: Frequency = daily and during service.
Check for broken frame, tubes, bumpers (frame and basket),
basket, handlebars, covers, and seat. Replace as necessary.
Any part or piece that may snag a person or object (such
as a store display) should be repaired. All mounting screws
(e.g. front cover screws) should be checked and replaced as
necessary. Repair or replace any component that would cause
a potential "Safety Hazard. "
• Charger cord: Frequency = daily and during service. Replace
cord if it is worn or frayed, or 3-pronged plug is broken.
Replace with OEM cord only. Do not splice. Be sure power
outlets provide protection through an operating Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
• Anti-Tip Casters and Brackets: Frequency = daily and during
service. Check for proper distance from the floor (1/8 to 1/2
inch). Check for bracket welds and position (parallel to the
floor). Replace caster and/or bracket if broken or bent.
• Seat and Seat Latch: Frequency = daily and during service.
Tighten if necessary. If cracks or rust occur, or if seat rocks
loosely, replace at once. Ensure that the latch engages
properly and that it secures the seat from tilting forward.
• Horn: Frequency = daily and during service. Check for proper
functionality and audible level. The horn should activate
when pressed or when the cart is moving in reverse.
• Grips: Frequency = daily and during service. Check the
grips on the handlebars to ensure that they firmly grip
the handlebars. The grips should not be easily twisted or
removed.
• Seat Switch: Frequency = daily and during service. Ensure
that the cart only moves under power when someone is
sitting in the seat activating the seat safety switch. Cart must
stop when weight is removed from seat.
• Throttle: Frequency = daily and during service. Test for smooth
"start, " acceleration, deceleration, and "stop. " Repair if necessary.
• Charger: Frequency = while charging and during service.
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.
• Electrical Components: Frequency = during service. Check all
wiring to ensure no evidence of fraying, crimps or cuts. Ensure
that the harness is lying inside the rear pan and not in a bind or
making contact with metal parts or components that could rub
through the insulation. Ensure proper fuses are installed. Use
only specified fuses (see decal next to fuse holders).
• Wheels and Axle: Frequency = during service. Ensure that
wheels are properly aligned, bearings are functional. Check
for flat spots and wear.
• Contacts of Switches: This cart is equipped with switches
that are non-serviceable. The switches are UL-recognized and
have been tested for this application. If any switch does not
function as intended, replace immediately.
• Cleanliness: Inspect and clean the cart daily; keeping the
cart free from accumulation of grease, dirt, and other possibly
combustible materials.
• Motor and Brake: test the motor wheel and its brake daily.
Drive the cart in forward and then reverse to insure the motor
is able to move the cart. To check the brake which is internal
in the motor wheel, sit on the cart and leave the throttle in
the neutral position, place each foot on the floor on both
sides of the cart and try to push the cart. The brake should
prevent the motor wheel from turning. Note that if pushed
hard enough the tire may skid on the floor. If the cart fails this
test, take the cart out of service and call for repair.
