2. Safety Information
Observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:
- Do not overload the bin beyond its 100-liter capacity or maximum weight limit to prevent damage to the bin or injury during movement.

4. Setup
The Sealey BM100B Wheelie Bin is designed for minimal assembly. Upon unboxing, ensure all components are present and undamaged.
- Remove all packaging materials from the bin and its components.
- Verify that the wheels are securely attached to the solid rear axle. If they require attachment, slide the wheels onto the axle and secure them with the provided retaining clips (if applicable).
- Ensure the lid is properly seated on the bin body and can open and close smoothly.
- Place the bin on a flat, stable surface before use.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective operation of your wheelie bin:
- Opening the Lid: Use the integrated handle on the lid to lift it upwards.
- Disposing of Waste: Place refuse into the bin, ensuring it does not exceed the 100-liter capacity. Do not compact waste excessively, as this can make emptying difficult.
- Closing the Lid: Lower the lid firmly until it is securely seated on the bin body. This helps contain odors and prevents pests.
- Moving the Bin: Grasp one of the robust handles and tilt the bin slightly backward onto its wheels. Push or pull the bin to its desired location. The two Ø200mm wheels facilitate easy movement even when the bin is full.
- Waste Segregation: While this blue bin is commonly recommended for paper waste, it can be used for any type of refuse as desired, in accordance with local waste management guidelines.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your Sealey BM100B Wheelie Bin:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the interior and exterior of the bin with water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the wheels, axle, and handles for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
- Storage: Store the bin in a shaded area when not in use to protect the polypropylene material from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause degradation over time.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
