For ul approved electric shopping cart

Table of Contents

•

Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the electrical circuit wherever the cart is to be charged. This is to protect

against any possible shock hazard.

•

AC voltage required is 100-240 VAC. The current draw is 3 amps maximum.

•

Charge battery every night, all night, and at every opportunity. When the battery is fully charged, the charger will

maintain a "float voltage" which will not damage the battery.

•

Do not allow the battery to full discharge by skipping the nightly charging cycle. A fully discharged battery will take 7

hours to fully charge, so it is best not to let the battery become completely discharged.

•

Do not store the cart with a discharged battery. This can cause premature battery failure. Fully charge the battery at least

every 30 days if in a low usage location.

NOTE: Under normal conditions, the battery will last more than 2 years, or longer, if the above recommendations are followed.

Replace with original Mart Cart battery (280-1214) only to maintain UL Certification. Mart Cart is not responsible for any

adverse effects caused by replacement with any other type of battery.

IMPORTANT: Your cart has been equipped with an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) (Suspended Electrolyte) Battery during the

manufacturing process as original equipment. The manufacturer recommends that you replace the original battery only with

the same type and rating to prevent damage to your cart's internal components, charging system, or personal injury to you

and/or your customer.

Be Responsible! Recycle old battery or dispose of according to local or national codes.

To Replace a Battery: (Read precautions on battery-avoid any sparks)

1. Turn off key switch (if applicable) or press Run/Stop/Horn switch to the "Stop" position. Disconnect charger cord from

wall outlet, if plugged in.

2. Remove two screws from the back of the rear bumper that secures the rear cover.

3. Reach under right rear of the back cover and pull latch, then tilt the chair forward.

4. Remove tie down strap from the battery cover.

5. Lift the battery cover from the top of the battery.

6. Replace battery and push battery cover back down on top of the new battery.

7. Secure battery cover with strap.

8. Before reinstalling cover, check wheel condition, and general condition of the chair.

9. Reinstall rear cover with the cover's two screws and tilt chair back into normal position.

10. Test cart for proper operation. Charge battery if necessary.

SEAT SWITCH: The seat switch is located under the seat. Pressure (weight) on the seat closes the control circuit, and allows

the cart to operate.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL: The cart's speed is regulated by a potentiometer. This provides extremely smooth acceleration

from 0 to 2.2 MPH, and is located in the control box on the steering column.

CHARGING: HOW IT WORKS: When the power supply cord is plugged into the store's electrical outlet, the battery charger

is energized. The charger sends approximately 14.5 Volts to the battery for charging. A third wire (yellow) from the charger

output inhibits the UL Motor Controller until the power to the charger is disconnected. The motor circuit is interrupted until

charging cord is removed. The cart will not move under power when the battery is being charged. If the cart moves while

plugged in, check for power to your outlet before calling for service.

CONTROL BOX: The master control box for the Mart Cart is located on top of the steering column. It contains the RUN/STOP/

HORN switch, and key switch (optional). The cover can be removed by removing the four bottom screws.
