Operating Instructions
Using the Drawers
The cart features six removable plastic drawers. Each drawer is equipped with a round knob for easy pulling and pushing. Organize your items by category or size within the different drawers. The drawers can be fully removed from their tracks for cleaning or to access contents more easily.
Mobility and Stability
The cart is equipped with four universal wheels, allowing for flexible movement across various surfaces. Two of these wheels are lockable. To move the cart, ensure both lockable wheels are in the unlocked position. To secure the cart in a stationary position, push down the locking levers on the two lockable wheels until they click into place.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. The plastic drawers can be removed and washed with mild soap and water, then dried thoroughly before reinserting. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cart for any loose screws or damaged parts. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately. If any part is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Wheel Care: Keep the wheels free of debris to ensure smooth rolling. If wheels become stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the axle.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cart is unstable or wobbly. | Loose assembly screws; uneven load distribution; damaged frame. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Distribute weight evenly across drawers and top shelf. Avoid overloading. Inspect frame for damage. |
| Drawers stick or do not slide smoothly. | Overloaded drawer; debris in tracks; drawer not aligned correctly. | Reduce weight in the drawer. Clean tracks of any dust or debris. Realign the drawer in its track. |
| Wheels do not roll smoothly or lock. | Debris in wheels; lock mechanism jammed; wheels damaged. | Clean wheels and axles. Check lock mechanism for obstructions. If damaged, contact support for replacement wheels. |
| Bottom drawer falls through. | Excessive weight in drawers; frame listing due to heavy load. | This can occur if drawers are significantly overloaded, especially with heavy items. Ensure weight limits are respected. Distribute heavier items on lower shelves or directly on the floor if possible. The cart is designed for light to medium storage. |
