Safety Guidelines and Operating Tips
This section lists some tips to make your cart retrieval with CartManager XD+ safe and efficient.
• Familiarize yourself with the location and content of the Safety and Warning Labels on pages 39 - 43.
• Close and latch the hood before moving CartManager XD+.
• If using a detachable cord, make sure the cord is unplugged from both the wall outlet and the CartManager XD+
charging socket and stored in a safe place. If the CartManager XD+ has an attached cord, unplug the cord from
the wall outlet and wrap securely around the cord hooks on the back of the unit.
• CartManager XD+ should go over the speed bumps and ramps normally found in a parking lot, but it is a good
idea to plan your route so that speed bumps are avoided if possible. This is especially true if CartManager XD+ is
being used to drive a line of carts. If the cart cradles consistently scrape or bottom out, notify your manager to
have the cart cradles adjusted.
• Drive CartManager XD+ only on a solid surface such as asphalt or concrete, not grass or mud.
• CartManager XD+ will work in moderate rain or snow, but should be stored in a protected area between retrieval
runs. Note that run time on a single battery charge may be decreased in extremely cold weather.
• If the driving surface is icy, wet or slippery, reduce speed when moving and leave extra distance for stopping.
• When driving a line of carts downhill, leave extra room to stop and stop slowly to avoid placing excessive strain
on the Cart Restraint Strap.
• When approaching an area where cars or people are present, sound the horn to let them know you are coming.
• If cars or people are in your line of travel, stop until they have passed. If you must proceed, politely ask them to
move aside until you have gone by.
• NEVER walk directly in front of a line of moving carts. Always steer from the side of the lead cart.
• When steering from the lead cart in narrow areas, allow sufficient room so you don’t get stuck between the cart
line and a wall.
• When moving more than 2 carts in manual mode, you will need two people; one to run CartManager XD+ with
the throttle grips and the other to steer from the lead cart. NEVER attempt to move a line of carts in manual
mode by yourself.
• NEVER allow anyone to ride on CartManager XD+ or attached carts.
• When you leave CartManager XD+ unattended, ALWAYS remove the keys, press the red Emergency Stop
button and make sure the Brake Release lever is pushed in.
• Check that your path is clear before you move CartManager XD+, both in front and behind. ALWAYS pay
attention to where you are going.
• Unless specifically directed by your store policy, do not use CartManager XD+ to drive carts directly into a cart
holding area. Stop CartManager XD+, off load the carts and move them in by hand.
• If you do drive carts directly into a cart storage area with a low opening, unclamp the Light Pole and swing it into
the down position before moving through the opening.
• CartManager XD+ is designed for pushing shopping carts. Using the unit for any other purpose may cause injury
or damage and will void the warranty.
• Never operate the CartManager XD+ in a negligent, unsafe or inappropriate manner, in other than full
compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and the guideline set out in this training guide.
• DO NOT operate the CartManager XD+ if you are taking any medication known to cause impairment of vision,
reflexes or judgment, are overly fatigued, or have any other circumstances that would prevent safe use of the
unit.
Disregarding any of these warnings may cause injury, severe damage, or even death to you, other
employees, customers, the building, other property (including merchandise), equipment, vehicles, or the
CartManager XD+ itself.
