Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the cart surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wheels, frame, and locking mechanisms for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fasteners.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cart does not unfold or fold smoothly. | Locking mechanism is stuck or dirty; moving parts require lubrication. | Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged (for folding) or engaged (for unfolding). Clean any debris and apply silicone lubricant to hinges and joints. |
| Wheels are stiff or not rolling freely. | Debris caught in wheels; wheels need lubrication. | Remove any debris from the wheel axles. Apply silicone lubricant to the wheel bearings and swivel points. |
| Cart feels unstable when open. | Locking mechanism not fully engaged; uneven load distribution. | Ensure the frame locking mechanism is fully engaged in the 'LOCK' position. Redistribute the load evenly across the shelves. Do not exceed weight capacity. |
| Brakes are not holding the cart. | Brake mechanism is worn or damaged. | Inspect the brake levers and wheel mechanisms. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts. |
