Setup Guide

The Teprovo Folding Hand Truck requires no assembly and can be unfolded for use in approximately 3 seconds. Follow these simple steps:

1. Step 1: Unfold the Base Plate. Step on the base plate and gently pull the handle upwards to unfold the trolley. The wheels will automatically swing out into position.
2. Step 2: Extend the Handle. Press the lock release button on the handle bar and pull the handle upwards to extend it to your desired height (up to 47.24 inches). Ensure it clicks securely into place.
3. Step 3: Ready for Use. The hand truck is now fully set up. Place your load on the base plate and tilt the trolley backward to begin moving.

Operating Instructions

To ensure safe and effective use of your hand truck, please observe the following guidelines:

• Loading: Place items securely on the base plate. For stability, distribute weight evenly. Utilize the included elastic cord to secure items, especially taller or irregularly shaped loads.
• Tilting: When lifting heavy items, apply pressure directly to the load to help tilt the hand truck upright, rather than relying solely on the handle. This prevents undue stress on the handle mechanism.
• Movement: Ensure both wheels are on the ground simultaneously for balanced movement. Avoid sudden jerks or turns, especially with heavy loads.
• Stairs/Uneven Surfaces: While designed for various terrains, exercise caution on stairs or uneven surfaces. For very heavy or bulky items, consider having a second person assist.
• Folding for Storage: To fold, push the handle down until it retracts fully, then push the base plate upwards. The wheels will automatically fold inward.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your Teprovo Hand Truck:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum and steel surfaces with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for any signs of wear, damage, or obstructions. Ensure they rotate freely.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts (e.g., handle extension mechanism, wheel axles) if movement becomes stiff.
• Storage: Store the hand truck in its folded, compact state in a dry environment to prevent rust and damage.
