3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Unfolding and Folding the Cart

• To Unfold: Hold the handle and pull the cart frame outwards until it fully extends and locks into place. Ensure the base of the main basket is flat.
• To Fold: Locate the folding mechanism (usually a latch or lever near the base or side). Release the mechanism and gently push the sides of the cart inwards until it collapses into its compact form. Use the integrated hook to lock the cart in the folded position for secure storage.

3.2 Loading and Using the Cart

• Main Basket: Use the large front basket (approximately 20" x 16" x 22") for bulkier items such as groceries, laundry, or parcels. The dense metal mesh base prevents smaller items from falling through. The cart has a weight limit of 330 lbs.
• Rear Basket: The smaller rear basket (approximately 20" x 6" x 8.5") is ideal for personal items like handbags, small purchases, or delicate items you wish to keep separate.
• Maneuvering: The 360° swivel front wheels provide excellent maneuverability, allowing the cart to turn easily in tight spaces. The large rear wheels ensure smooth rolling even on slightly uneven surfaces. The foam-wrapped handle offers a comfortable grip and absorbs shocks.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your COSTWAY Folding Shopping Cart:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame and baskets with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
• Wheel Care: Periodically check the wheels for any debris (hair, string, dirt) that might impede smooth rolling. Clean the wheel axles if necessary.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the cart to its compact size (25" x 8" x 45" L x W x H) and store it in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. The folded cart fits snugly into room corners or car trunks.
