Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the cart frame and baskets with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the wheels and axles for smooth operation. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if any squeaking or stiffness occurs.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the cart flat and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent exposure to extreme weather conditions, which can cause rust or material degradation.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the frame, wheels, and joints for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Tighten any loose screws or fasteners.
Troubleshooting
- Cart does not fold/unfold smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism or hinges. Ensure the cart is empty before attempting to fold.
- Wheels are stiff or squeak: Clean any debris from around the wheel axles. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts of the wheels.
- Cart feels unstable: Ensure items are loaded evenly and that the weight capacity is not exceeded. Verify that all wheels are securely attached and the frame is fully locked in the open position.
- Small items falling through the basket: The cart features an intensive mesh base with a rod designed to prevent small items from falling. If items are still falling, ensure they are not excessively small or consider using a liner.
