The guidelines below are included so that the field tech can stress the importance of regular maintenance in keeping the CartManager XD in top running order.
CartManager XD PPM Checklist This checklist is intended to be used as a guide while performing a scheduled Periodic Preventative Maintenance (PPM) or whenever a service call is made on a unit. Serial # : Date: Throttle Body Control Working Properly Check resistance readings between red and black wires from potentiometer, in neutral it should be 2.400-2.600 K OHMS, when throttle is turned forward it should read close to 5.00 K OHMS, and backwards it should read close to 0.00 K OHMS.
CartManager XD Features and Controls This table provides a description of each of the parts shown in the preceding diagrams. PART DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTION Receives signals from the remote control. Also outputs the (unlock) Antenna signal for the shopping cart wheels. The anti-static chain prevents damage to the CartManager electrical components by dissipating static electricity buildup.

Turns the unlock signal on and off when the machine is moving and stopped respectively. This is for use with shopping carts that have a Relay U ( XDWi) Gatekeeper Systems’ wheel. Puts the CartManager in slow speed mode when the battery is low to RELAY B (XDWi) avoid damage to the batteries.
Remote Control Issues CartManager XD Does Not Respond to Remote Use this process to diagnose and correct problems when the remote control unit does not turn on or turns on but does not communicate with CartManager XD. If you are using a new remote for the first time, or using a remote other than the one usually issued to XD units, follow the steps in the Link the remote to the CartManager XD box below to establish a communications link between the remote and the receiver.
Checking the Speed Board Relays If both the remote control unit and receiver are functioning properly, but the CartManager XD does still not respond, there may be a problem with the relays that actuate the motor in response to signals from the remote. Use the following procedure to troubleshoot these relays.
CartManager XD Receiver Issues Follow the steps below if the CartManager XD is turned on but does not move when remote is initiated. 1. Turn key switch on 2. Push red button on remote and release Start Sync Process 3. Push green button on remote and release 4.
CartManager XD Receiver Issues - Continued Continue 1. Using appropriate support jacks, lift drive tires off the ground. 2. Remove top cover plate and front lower cover 3. Connect black ground wire of Volt meter to ground post Next on receiver (black wire) 4.

Battery Charger The symptoms of battery charge malfunction will differ depending on the type of charger in your particular CartManager XD: LEDs - the charger has three LEDS; red, yellow and green, for each of the batteries in the CartManager XD. Only one of these LEDs should be illuminated at a time.
Battery Voltage is Low or Battery Runs Down Quickly CartManager XD should operate for 8-10 hours on an eight hour charge. If run time is consistently low, despite a full charge, it means that the batteries are either not receiving a full charge or are not holding the charge. Start 1.
Error Codes When the key switch is turned on, the CartManager XD powers up and runs through a brief diagnostic routine. If any electrical or electrical-mechanical faults are detected, the battery charge indicator displays a series of lights that indicate the type of fault and the drive motor remains offline until the fault is corrected. The sections below list the possible error codes and give some diagnostic tips for finding and correcting the problem.

6 Bars Flashing Twist and release E-Stop Button. 7 Bars Flashing XDWi 2.2, 2.3 & 3.3 Cause There is a problem with the throttle potentiometer or the wires leading to it. Correction Remove the white 14-pin connector from the bottom of the motor controller. Make sure that the throttle is in the neutral position.
Page 25
8 Bars Flashing XDWi Cause The motor controller has detected a self-fault. Correction Check that the wire harness at the bottom of the controller is securely in place. Run the tests listed in the “7 Bars Flashing” section above. Go through the “CartManager XD Does Not Turn On” algorithm on page 11. Remove the front access panel.
Page 26
Cause The throttle is engaged when the CartManager XD is started. This cutout prevents the CartManager XD from lurching forward if the throttle grips are not in neutral position when the key switch is turned Correction Release the throttle grips and do not turn them while starting the CartManager XD. If this clears the error, no further action is necessary.

Mechanical Procedures Replacing the Strobe Light Bulb You will need: • A replacement strobe light bulb, part #E500238-02. • A pair of pliers or vice grips and Phillips P2 screwdriver. Remove four screws from protective cage and remove protective cage. Grasp the orange strobe light cover with your hand and twist counter clockwise to remove it from the strobe housing.
Replacing the Main Drive Tires The foam-filled main drive tires are designed to give maximum traction and durability over a wide range of working conditions and surfaces. The only time you should need to replace a tire is in the case of excessive wear or damage. If you need to replace both tires, do them one at a time.
Adjusting the Cart Cradles You will need to adjust the height of the cart cradles on the front of the CartManager XD if they consistently scrape when going over speed bumps, up ramps, over door sills, etc. You may also need to adjust the distance between the cradles if your store changes to carts with a different width between the back wheels.
