Retrieving Carts

How to load carts and secure them for transport using the CartManager Ultra.
1. Use manual mode to drive the CartManager Ultra to the area where you are
going to start retrieving carts.
2. Leave the CartManager Ultra ON when loading carts, but press the Red button
on the remote during the loading process to prevent the Remote from accidentally
moving the CartManager Ultra while loading carts.
3. Attach the small, spring loaded latch on the Cart Restraint Strap to the Eye
Bolt on the lower front section of the CartManager Ultra, as shown in the
figure at right.
4. Set the rear wheels of one cart into the cart cradles. It may be helpful to put a small
empty box in the cart to hold the cart strap when it's not in use to prevent the strap
from falling on the ground and getting tangled in the drive wheels.
5. Add eight or nine more carts onto the front of the first cart. Make sure the carts
are nested snugly with a minimum of play between them.
6. Bring the Cart Restraint Strap up and wrap it once around the handle of the cart
sitting in the cart cradles.
7. Carry the Strap up over the top of the row of carts and pass it under the handle
of the lead cart.
8. Carry the Strap back over the top of the carts and pass it under the handle of
the cart in the cart cradles. Keep tension on the Strap so that the carts are
pulled closely together.
9. Continue this looping process until you can hook the Strap securely around one of
the cart handles without any slack. Additional carts require fewer loops. When moving
a full line of carts, one loop under the handle of the lead cart is usually sufficient.

10. When complete, the Strap should be attached as shown above.
11. Move to the side of the lead cart. Press the Green button on the Remote control.
12. Place one hand on the corner of the lead cart and press the Turtle button. The line of carts will move slowly forward.
ALWAYS use the Cart Restraint Strap if you are pushing more than one cart.
