Preoperations Checklist - Gatekeeper Systems CartManager XD+ Owner's/Operator's Manual

PreOperations Checklist

Run through the tasks listed below. This preop check should be performed each day before CartManager XD+ is
taken out for the first retrieval run. The charger cord should be plugged in and the key switch turned off.
If you discover any abnormal or potentially unsafe conditions during this check, DO NOT use the CartManager XD+.
Turn the unit off, make sure the Emergency Stop button is pushed in, remove the key and notify your supervisor.
1. Check the Battery Charger on the back of the CartManager XD+. If the charger is a Minn-Kota charger and you
see any red lights, unplug the charger cord from the electrical receptacle immediately and notify your supervisor.
2. If the CartManager XD+ has a permanently attached power cord, unplug the power cord from the outlet and wrap
it securely around the cord hooks on the back of the CartManager XD+. If the cord is a detachable cord, remove
from both the wall outlet and the CartManager XD+ socket and store in a safe place. Make sure the rubber cap is
secure over the charger socket.
3. Take a walk around the unit and look for any loose or broken parts, leaking fluids, or other indications that there
may be mechanical or electrical problems. If any such conditions are found, leave the CartManager XD+ off and
notify your supervisor.
4. Make sure that the Light Pole is securely latched in a fully upright position. Check the tires for excessive or
uneven tread wear.
5. Unlatch the hood and visually inspect the battery compartment for loose, disconnected or frayed wires, leaking
fluids, corroded battery terminals, etc. DO NOT attempt to correct any abnormal findings unless specifically
trained and instructed to do so. Close and relatch the hood.
6. Turn the red Emergency Stop Button clockwise, then release. The Emergency Stop Button must be disengaged
(pulled out) for to allow CartManager XD+ go move backwards and forwards at normal speeds.
7. Make sure that the Brake Release lever is pushed all the way in.
8. Insert the key in the key switch and turn clockwise one quarter turn. The strobe light should start flashing and the
brake light should come on.
9. Check the Battery Level Indicator. If the level is less than 20%, you should turn off the CartManager XD+, plug
the power cord into a standard electrical outlet and recharge for at least four hours. If you see an error code and
CartManager XD+ will not power up or move and you have been trained to troubleshoot CartManager XD+
problems, work through the CartManager XD+ Troubleshooting procedures starting on page 21. If you have not
been trained to troubleshoot CartManager XD+, turn the unit off and notify your manager.
10. Twist the throttle grips gently forward. CartManager XD+ will move forward. Twist the throttle grips backwards.
CartManager XD+ will move backwards. There should be no motion when the throttle grips are in the neutral
(released) position.
11. Turn on the remote control unit by pressing and immediately releasing the green ON button. The red Power
Indicator LED should light up while you are holding the button down, and flash while the unit is on. If the remote
control fails to respond, see the Remote Control Issues section on page 22.
12. Press the Slow (turtle) button. The machine should move slowly forward. Release the button to stop the unit. (If
CartManager XD+ does not respond to the remote control, see the instructions on the bottom of page 10 for
linking the remote control to CartManager XD+.)
13. Press the red OFF button to shut off the remote control.
Once you have completed the checklist, proceed to Using CartManager XD+ – Manual Mode.
