Setup and Assembly
Some self-assembly is required. It is recommended to have two people for easier assembly. Tools required: two 13mm spanners/sockets, needle-nose pliers, and potentially a metal file or 10mm drill bit for minor adjustments if needed (as per user feedback, though not typically required).
- Attach Wheels: Securely attach the four pneumatic wheels to the axles using the provided hardware. Ensure all nuts and pins are tightened. It is advisable to check tire pressure and inflate if necessary before attaching.
- Assemble Main Frame: Connect the main frame components if they are not pre-assembled.
- Install Side Panels: Attach the four mesh side panels to the main frame. These panels are designed to drop down for easy access or be removed completely.
- Attach Pulling Handle: Secure the pulling handle to the front axle assembly of the trolley. Ensure it pivots freely.
- Final Check: Before first use, double-check all connections and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure.

- Tire Pressure: Periodically check the air pressure in the pneumatic tires. Maintain recommended pressure for optimal performance and stability.
- Lubrication: Apply a light lubricant to moving parts, such as wheel axles and handle pivot points, annually or as needed to ensure smooth operation.
- Fasteners: Regularly inspect all nuts, bolts, and pins for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to ensure structural integrity.
- Storage: Store the trolley in a dry, covered area when not in use to protect it from the elements.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
