Operating Instructions
Moving the Cart
To move the cart, ensure all four caster wheels are unlocked. Use the curved push handle at the top to steer and maneuver the cart to your desired location. The pivoting action of the wheels allows for easy mobility in any direction.
Locking the Wheels
To secure the cart in a stationary position, locate the two caster wheels with locking mechanisms. Press down on the lever of each locking wheel until it clicks into the 'ON' or 'LOCKED' position. To unlock, lift the lever back to the 'OFF' or 'UNLOCKED' position.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life of your utility cart:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the cart with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Dry thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent rust.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the painted finish.
- Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the caster wheels for any accumulated debris (hair, lint, etc.) that might hinder smooth rolling. Clean as necessary.
- Fastener Check: Routinely inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
