4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Using the 6-Wheel Stair Climbing System
The unique 6-wheel system is designed to make ascending and descending stairs effortless. When encountering stairs or curbs, gently pull the trolley upwards or guide it downwards. The rotating wheel clusters will adapt to the steps, distributing the load and reducing physical strain.

4.2 Loading the Bag
The main compartment has a 58L capacity. Distribute items evenly to maintain balance. Utilize the integrated insulated pocket for items requiring temperature control, and the two side pockets for smaller accessories.

4.3 Folding for Storage
To fold the trolley for compact storage, first remove the bag. Then, locate the folding mechanism on the frame (usually near the base or handle joints) and disengage it. Collapse the frame inward until it is flat. The folded dimensions are significantly reduced for easy storage in small spaces.

4.4 Detachable Bag Functionality
The bag can be detached from the frame and used independently, for example, as a shoulder bag for lighter loads. It includes an integrated shoulder strap for this purpose.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your shopping trolley:
- Cleaning the Bag: The waterproof fabric bag can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mold.
- Frame Care: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for debris or wear. Clean any accumulated dirt from the wheel axles to ensure smooth rotation.
6. Troubleshooting
- Noisy Wheels: The wheels are designed for durability. On some hard surfaces like asphalt, they may produce noise. This is generally normal and does not indicate a defect. Ensure the wheel axles are clean and free of obstructions.
- Trolley Instability: Ensure the frame is fully unfolded and locked into position. Distribute the load evenly within the bag to prevent tipping.
- Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Ensure the bag is removed before attempting to fold the frame.
