Operating Instructions
Loading the Cart
Place items centrally on the rubberized platform. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly to prevent tipping. Do not stack items higher than the handle, and secure unstable loads if necessary.
Moving the Cart
Grasp the handle firmly and push or pull the cart. The swivel wheels at the front (or rear, depending on orientation) allow for easy steering. Navigate obstacles carefully.
Folding for Storage
To fold the handle, locate the release mechanism (usually a foot pedal or hand lever) at the base of the handle. Engage the mechanism and gently push the handle downwards until it lies flat against the platform. Ensure it is fully folded for compact storage.

- Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace worn or damaged wheels immediately.
- Storage: Store the folded cart in a dry place to prevent rust and prolong its lifespan.
