Never use the charging cord without proper grounding. Do not use if plug does not have three prongs. -
Never allow the cart to be used out-of-doors or on any surface that is not level.
-
Always disconnect power before servicing.
-
See “Daily Maintenance Checklist,” and follow instructions.
-
Cart can roll. Enter and exit cart with care.
-
Replace parts using only factory-specified, original equipment from the manufacturer for your specific model. Failure to do so may void warranty, affect operation of the cart, and result in injury.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
- New carts will need charging! Charge batteries for 24 hours prior to first use.
- THIS CART IS FOR USE INDOORS ON A FLAT, LEVEL SURFACE ONLY.
- DO NOT STAND ON CAR0T. (See “Operating & Warning Instructions” on cart).
- After battery is charged, disconnect power supply cord BEFORE operating cart.
- DO NOT exceed the load limitations as shown on the cart.
- Return power cord to circular cavity when not charging
- DO NOT allow children to operate or play on cart. Keep cart secured with key (if applicable), at service counter.
DAILY MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
For optimum cart availability and performance, the following items should be checked daily
- ELECTRIC CORD— Replace cord if cord is worn or frayed, 3-pronged plug is broken or reel (optional) will not retract. Be sure power outlet provides protection through an operating “Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter” (GFCI).
- SEAT AND MOUNTING— Tighten if necessary. If cracks or rust occur, or if seat rocks loosely, replace at once.
- SEAT SWITCH— Test and replace if not working properly. Cart must stop when weight is removed from seat.
- THROTTLE— Test for smooth “start, acceleration, deceleration, and stop.” Repair if necessary. Charge or replace battery if needed.
- ANTI-TIP CASTERS— Replace if broken. Maintain height adjustment of 1/8” to 1/2” above floor level.
- GENERAL— Repair or replace any component that may cause a potential safety hazard.
- APPEARANCE— Wipe off and clean as needed for customer satisfaction and for store’s public image.
BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read before charging.
Your cart is equipped with the Intelli-Charge™ system. While operating the cart, the LED will be solid green until the battery falls below 12.4 volts and then turns solid amber. When the battery charge falls below 10.5 volts, the LED will begin flashing red. The person riding the cart should have ample time to return the cart for charging. When the rider exits the cart, the horn will start beeping in unison with the red flashing LED. This will alert those responsible for maintaining the cart to plug in the charger. When plugged into a 120v AC wall socket, the LED will flash amber and the horn will silence. When charging is complete the LED will start flashing green. The charger may be left plugged in even longer as it will NOT harm the battery
LED Color Status | Description while opertatin |
---|---|
LED Of | Off/On rocker switch is set to “Off” position |
Green (solid) | Off/On rocker switch is set to “On” position – seat switch is |
engaged – battery is fully charged
Amber (solid)| Off/On rocker switch is set to “On” position – seat switch is
engaged – battery is below 12.4 volts
Red – Flashing| Battery needs to be charged – below 10.5 volts
LED Color Status| Description while charging
---|---
Amber – Flashing| Charger is plugged in and battery is being charged
Green – Flashing| Charger is plugged in and battery is charged
- 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 (50/60 Hz). The current draw is 3.5 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 fully 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.
- No maintenance of battery is required. The AGM battery is maintenance free and water cannot be added.
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 only. 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 (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 your customer.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Please read before replacing battery.
Be Responsible! Recycle old battery or dispose of according to local or national codes. See next column, under DISPOSAL.
To Replace Battery: (Read precautions on batteries, under Charging Instructions and Safety Precautions, to avoid any sparks)
-
Turn off key switch (if equipped, or flip On/Off switch to “Off” position).
Disconnect charger cord from wall outlet, if plugged in. -
Reach under right rear of back cover and pull latch, then tilt chair forward.
-
Remove rear cover.
CAUTION: Do not cross battery posts with metal object! -
Remove old battery and place new battery.
-
Before reinstalling cover, check wheel condition, and general condition of the chair.
-
Reinstall rear cover and tilt chair back.
-
Test cart for proper operation. Charge battery if necessary.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SEAT LOCK
For XTi 12 with sliding seat. The seat lock and the chair should be inspected
daily for proper function. The release/locking arm should move freely and
spring back into locking position. If return spring is broken, DO NOT USE cart
until spring is replaced.
SEAT SWITCH
The seat switch is located under 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.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
The circuit breaker is designed to protect your electrical system from
transient overloads or electrical shorts. Either could cause serious damage
without a circuit breaker to open the circuit. The circuit breaker is a manual
reset type. It requires manual resetting once it has been tripped.
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 PWM until the power to the charger is
disconnected. The motor circuit is interrupted until charging is complete.
NOTE: The cart will not move under power when the battery is being
charged. If the cart moves while plugged in, check the power to your outlet
before calling for service.
CONTROL BOX
The master control box is located on top of the steering column. It contains
the RUN/STOP/HORN switch, and key switch (optional keyless system available).
The cover can be removed by removing the four bottom screws. Our models are
equipped with the Intelli-Charge™ system, a bicolor LED can be found in the
RUN/STOP/HORN switch.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Due to the battery’s low internal resistance and high power density, high levels of short circuit current can be developed across the battery terminals. Do not rest tools or cables on the battery. Use insulated tools only. Follow all installation instructions and diagrams when installing or maintaining battery systems.
HEALTH HAZARD DATA
LEAD: The toxic effects of lead are accumulative and slow to appear. It affects the kidneys, reproductive, and central nervous systems. The symptoms of lead overexposure are anemia, vomiting, headache, stomach pain (lead colic), dizziness, loss of appetite, and muscle and joint pain. Exposure to lead from a battery most often occurs during lead reclaim operations through the breathing or ingestion of lead dust or fumes.
SULFURIC ACID: Sulfuric acid is a strong corrosive. Contact with acid can casue severe burns on the skin and in eyes. Ingestion of sulfuric acid will cause GI tract burns. Acid can be released if the battery case is damaged or if vents are tampered with.
FIBERGLASS SEPARATOR: Fibrour glass is an irritant of the upper repiratory tract, skin and eyes. For exposure up to 10F/CC use MSA Comfoll with type H filter. Above 10F/CC up to 50F/CC use Ultra-Twin with type H filter. This product is not considered carcinogenic by NTP or OSHA.
ALL DATA MUST BE PASSED TO ANY SCRAP DEALER OR SMELTER WHEN BATTERY IS RESOLD.
