Setup and Assembly
Your TecTake Garden Trolley requires assembly. While the process is generally straightforward, attention to detail is key. It is recommended to lay out all components before beginning.
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the parts diagram (if provided) are present. Small parts like nuts, bolts, and washers may be grouped together.
- Assemble the Frame: Begin by connecting the main frame sections. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Attach Wheels: Mount the pneumatic tyres to the axles. Ensure the ball bearings are properly seated. You will need a 1/2" or 13mm spanner for most nuts and a 19mm spanner for the wheel nuts. A ratchet spanner can significantly ease this step.
- Install Side Panels: Attach the quick-release folding side panels to the main frame. Confirm that the quick-release mechanisms operate smoothly.
- Connect Steering Mechanism and Handle: Assemble the steering mechanism and attach the padded handle. The handle can also be detached for towing.
- Insert Inner Lining: Place the removable inner lining into the trolley bed.
- Final Check: Before first use, double-check all nuts and bolts for tightness to ensure stability and safety.

Operating Instructions
The TecTake Garden Trolley is designed for ease of use and versatility in various outdoor tasks.
Manual Operation:
- Loading: Utilize the quick-release folding sides to easily load bulky or heavy items. The sides can be lowered to create a flatbed for oversized objects.
- Transporting: Use the padded handle for comfortable pulling. The pneumatic tyres provide smooth mobility over uneven surfaces.
- Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 544 kg to ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the trolley.
Towing Operation:
- Attaching to Vehicle: The handle is detachable and can be replaced with a tow coupling (included) to attach the trolley to a towing vehicle, such as a lawn tractor.
- Maneuvering: Be aware that reversing with the trolley attached to a mower can be challenging due to the trolley's turning wheels.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your garden trolley.
- Cleaning the Inner Lining: The inner canvas lining is removable and washable. Remove it periodically for cleaning, especially after transporting soil, leaves, or other debris, to keep the trolley tidy.
- Tyre Care: Check the pneumatic tyres regularly for proper inflation. Maintain recommended tyre pressure for optimal performance and to prevent premature wear. Inspect for any punctures or damage.
- Metal Frame: The trolley's frame is made of metal. If stored outdoors, consider covering it or applying a rust-preventative treatment to prolong its lifespan. Wipe down any dirt or moisture after use.
- Fasteners and Joints: Periodically inspect all nuts, bolts, and quick-release mechanisms to ensure they are tight and functioning correctly. Tighten any loose fasteners.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your garden trolley.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty with Assembly | Instructions may be unclear or diagrams small. | Refer to product images online for visual guidance. Lay out all parts and identify their positions before starting. Use appropriate tools (e.g., ratchet spanner). |
| Wobbly Wheel / Ball Bearing Failure | Wear and tear, especially under heavy loads or rough terrain. | Inspect the wheel and axle for damage. If ball bearings are failing, replacement of the wheel may be necessary. Contact customer support for replacement parts. |
| Side Panels Do Not Fold Completely Flat | Design characteristic; panels may protrude slightly when folded. | This is a design aspect. Be mindful of the slight protrusion when maneuvering or storing the trolley. |
| Strong Odor from Materials | New product off-gassing from plastics/rubber. | Allow the trolley to air out in a well-ventilated area (e.g., garage or outdoors) for several days before extensive indoor use. The smell will dissipate over time. |
