Hey Michael i work at sam club and we have the cart manager sx two of them and two ultras but the sx’s the battery dies quick we get a line of carts and the battery will go down from full to one green bar left or two so is the problem id the battery or something else
@michaelcrandall7691Ай бұрын
Most likely the battery I'd say. At least start there, sounds like dead cells in on or both batteries. Machines must be plugged in everytime not in use or will have battery problems. Also make sure charger is comingbonbto charge batteries.

How do I fix a cart mule that stops moving at all with throttle (gives throttle error). Its a constant issue and the whole potentiometer, gears, and bottom shaft/motor have already been replaced which fixed it for awhile but the issue keeps coming back.

@@michaelcrandall7691 the sad thing about the gatekeepers is the cartmanager XDSX and ultra have great horsepower and it could easily move 30 to 35 carts. It’s sad they only allow 20 to 25 carts. It’s really impractical when you’re the only person at a Walmart and no one is out there to help you and you have to cover both sides. My only complaint with these gate keepers was three things. The remote was a horrible design, because in light rain, it would ruin it. Digital throttle would always get water in it even if you are as careful as you can be and the transaxles for the SX ultra and the XT I won’t make it Donick I got to get in at work here were not built tough enough for the card collection. would say the units would be good for like a Winn-Dixie or a Publix but not for Walmart. These machines are not built tough enough for people that don’t care about them or follow the rules or procedures I have to say the quick card M3 is a tougher built design. but I had one that was a 2006 model. It was original to the store and all I had to do was put brushes in it in that quickart m3 kept going. If I were Walmart and I had to buy gatekeeper brand, I would’ve gotten the XD plus model its a better transxaxle

I repaired my foldable cart. It needed new back wheels. So I bought some lawnmower wheels. But they had an axle hole diameter of 0.500", while the cart has axle diameters of 0.375". Fortunately, I had just replaced the brass seats in my bathroom and kitchen taps, and now had the chance to put these old ones to good use. The brass seats have an internal diameter of 0.375" and an external threaded diameter of just over 0.50". So I screwed one brass seat into each side of each lawnmower wheel. Now the wheels had the proper 0.375" axle hole diameter. I also had added plastic cardboard sheets to the sides, front and back and floor, of the foldable cart, but had to fold the side panels out of the way when folding the cart. To hold the side panels in place when open, I used strong magnets taken from two old dead computer hard drives. LOL

I work for Walmart in maintenance and I work on a lot of Value Shoppers between the 3 stores I work at and I have a couple MartCarts too, I like your tutorial and would like to see you put a new Amigo motor/brake assembly in sometime but I have done one so far. Also if you could talk about the back wheel axles, it seems like they come in different lengths depending on the version you have. I maintain 30 carts altogether at the 3 stores and I keep spare parts on the truck or at the stores, batteries, seat covers and switches, back wheels, a charger or two and some cables.

you should put in washers at the ends of the bolt and nut heads securing the the wheel to the caster as to replace the wheel in the future the bolt rusts solid in the bearings of the wheel making removal of the wheel difficult as the washers allow you to grind off the nut and bolt heads with an angle grinder to change the wheel as its essential in areas where there is snow and excess humidity mainly in the northeastern US states and coastal areas where the stores are near the ocean and the salt water in the air can rust them solid to make removal of the wheel difficult with the anti tilt on. if the wheel is rivited on its best to grind the rivit heads off and remove the rivit before welding in the anti tilt. they can be installed in out of production shopping carts like United steel and wire, and Tote Cart, as the anti tilt can be installed on the older technibilt and Rehrig carts and some Tote carts and some Unarco/ Folding carrier corp carts using the same process as the Unarco. as the later Tote and all United its measuring and trial and error to properly fit the anti tilts to the carts. many independant store owners tend to use older carts from the 1960s to now of the same size and basket capacity.
