Operating Instructions

The Goplus Rolling Garden Cart is designed to assist with various gardening and outdoor tasks, reducing strain and increasing efficiency.

• Adjustable Seat: The seat can rotate 360 degrees and its height is adjustable from 19 to 21 inches. To adjust the height, loosen the nut under the seat, raise or lower the seat to your desired position, and then re-tighten the nut firmly. This allows for comfortable positioning for various tasks like planting, weeding, or pruning.
• Steering Handle: The telescoping handle allows for easy maneuvering of the cart. Adjust the handle length to a comfortable position for pulling the cart. The handle is designed for steering the front wheels.
• Tool Storage: Utilize the removable mesh basket at the back for larger items like watering cans or gloves. The tool tray located under the seat is ideal for smaller, frequently used tools, keeping them within easy reach.
• Movement: The four 10-inch air-filled rubber tires provide stability and traction on various terrains, including lawns, dirt paths, and patios. Always pull the cart using the steering handle for best control.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your garden cart.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame and plastic seat with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, use mild soap and water.
• Tire Pressure: Periodically check the air pressure in the tires. Maintain recommended pressure for optimal performance and to prevent flats.
• Fasteners: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and screws. Tighten any loose fasteners to ensure structural integrity.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the steering mechanism and seat swivel point if movement becomes stiff.
• Storage: Store the cart in a dry, covered area when not in use to protect it from weather elements, which can cause rust and material degradation.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Stiff Steering: If the steering feels tight or difficult to turn, check the bolts connecting the steering handle to the front axle. Ensure they are not overtightened. Applying a lubricant (e.g., WD-40) to the axle assembly and pivot points can also improve smoothness.
• Wobbly Wheels: Check that the nuts securing the wheels to the axles are tight. Ensure all washers are correctly placed.
• Unstable Seat: Verify that the seat is properly bolted to the seat post and that the height adjustment nut is securely tightened.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing parts during assembly, please contact Goplus customer service immediately for assistance.
