Step 2: Assemble the Main Frame

Connect the vertical metal support bars to the base frame. Then, attach the horizontal support bars to form the main structure of the trolley. Do not fully tighten all screws until the entire frame is aligned.

Step 3: Install Shelves

Slide the three main shelf panels into their designated slots within the metal frame. Ensure they are level and secure. Attach the mesh panels and side shelf panels to the right side of the frame, creating the smaller storage compartments.

Step 5: Attach the Top Panel

Place the top wooden panel onto the assembled frame. Secure it using the remaining screws, ensuring it is flush and stable.

Step 6: Final Tightening

Once all components are in place and aligned, fully tighten all screws and fasteners. Do not overtighten. Check the stability of the trolley before use.

5. Operating Instructions

Moving the Trolley

To move the trolley, ensure the wheel brakes are disengaged. Gently push or pull the trolley to its desired location. Avoid sudden movements or pushing over uneven surfaces to prevent items from falling.

Using the Wheel Brakes

When the trolley is in its desired position, engage the brakes on the two designated wheels by pressing down on the lever. This will lock the wheels and prevent the trolley from moving unintentionally.

Utilizing Storage

The trolley features a top surface, a drawer, three main shelves, and three side shelves. Organize items according to their size and weight, placing heavier items on lower shelves for stability.

Cleaning

Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.

Regular Checks

Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Check the casters for smooth operation and clean any debris that may accumulate around them.

7. Troubleshooting

Trolley is Unstable

• Ensure all screws are fully tightened.
• Verify that the trolley is on a level surface.
• Check if the weight distribution on the shelves is even.

Drawer Does Not Slide Smoothly

• Check if the drawer glides are properly aligned and free of obstructions.
• Ensure the drawer is not overloaded.
• Lubricate glides with a silicone-based spray if necessary.
