Safety Check
General Condition Check for broken frame, tubes, bumpers (frame and basket), basket, handlebars, covers, seats, and armrests.
Any part or piece that may snag a person or store display should be repaired. All mounting screws (e.g. front cover screws) should be
checked and replaced as necessary.
Electrical components Check all wiring to ensure no evidence of fraying, crimps or cuts. Ensure that the harness is laying inside
the rear pan and not in a bind or contact with metal parts or components that could rub through the insulation (for example between the
seat tube and frame on an XTi model cart). Ensure proper circuit breakers are installed and functional.
Charger cord In addition to the other electrical components, check for fraying of charger cord and cord plug for damage. Replace
with OEM cord. It is not recommended to replace plug.
Casters Check for proper distance from the floor (about ½ inch). Check for bracket welds and position (perpendicular to the floor).
Seat Latch Ensure that the latch engages properly and that it secures the seat from tilting forward.
Horn Check for proper functionality and audible level. The horn should activate when pressed and when the cart is moving in reverse.
Grips Check the grips on the handlebars to ensure that they firmly grasp. The grips should not be easily twisted or removed.
Charger Check the “inhibitfunctionality of the charger. Ensure that the cart does not move under power when plugged into a power
outlet and charging the battery.
Seat Switch Ensure that the cart only moves under power ONLY when someone is sitting in the seat. Occasionally, the seat switch
may be bypassed (jumpered) during cart maintenance to facilitate problem diagnosis. Never leave the seat switch bypassed for
normal operation.
Wheels and Axle Ensure that wheels are properly aligned, bearings are functional, and axle is not bent or bowed. Check for flat
spots and wear.
This checklist is designed for service technicians to use as a guideline when servicing electrical Mart
Cart shopping carts. The list covers common system safety features that should be checked for proper
installation and functionality. While they may not be presented on this list, all parts and components of
the cart should be checked for proper functionality and either fixed or reported to authorized facility
personnel. All parts must be OEM to ensure proper safety and warranty compliance.
