6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your handtruck.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and wheels with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of lubricant to the wheel axles and hinge points to ensure smooth operation.
• Inspection: Before each use, check all bolts, screws, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Wheel Care: Ensure wheels are free of tangled hair, string, or other obstructions that could impede movement.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your handtruck, refer to these common solutions:

• Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Check for any obstructions in the hinges or locking mechanisms. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly before applying gentle force. Do not force components if they resist.
• Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect wheels for debris (hair, string, dirt) and remove any obstructions. Lubricate axles if necessary. Check for damaged wheels that may need replacement.
• Unit Feels Unstable: Ensure the load is within the specified capacity and is evenly distributed. Verify that all locking mechanisms are fully engaged in the chosen configuration (handtruck or platform cart).
• Handle Not Extending/Retracting: Check for debris inside the telescoping tubes. Ensure the locking buttons or clamps are fully disengaged before attempting to adjust the handle.

For persistent issues, contact customer support.
