Safety Information

- Children and Pets: This trolley is not designed for transporting children or pets. Keep children away from the trolley during assembly and use.
- Uneven Surfaces: Exercise caution when navigating uneven terrain. The 4-wheel design provides stability, but extreme surfaces may require switching to 2-wheel mode for better control.
- Reflective Elements: Utilize the integrated reflective elements for increased visibility in low-light conditions, especially in urban environments.
- Assembly: Ensure all components are correctly assembled and securely fastened before use.

Setup
The Carlett Lite Family Lett470 is designed for quick and easy setup. Follow these steps to prepare your trolley for use:
- Unfolding the Frame: Gently pull the handlebar upwards until the frame locks into its open position. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged.
- Attaching the Wheels: The wheels are designed to be easily removable for compact storage. To attach, align each wheel with its respective axle on the frame and push firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure all four wheels are securely attached and rotate freely.

Using the Safety Brake
A rear safety brake is integrated for stability. To engage the brake, press down on the brake lever located near the rear wheels. To release, lift the lever. Always engage the brake when the trolley is stationary, especially on sloped surfaces.
4-Wheel and 2-Wheel Modes
The trolley is equipped with 360° rotating front wheels for easy maneuverability in 4-wheel mode. For navigating stairs or very uneven surfaces, the trolley can be tilted back and operated in 2-wheel mode, utilizing the larger rear wheels. This provides flexibility for various usage situations.

Using the Main Bag and Insulated Compartment
The main bag offers a generous 58 L capacity. It features a drawstring closure at the top to secure your items. An integrated 12 L insulated compartment is ideal for keeping fresh, chilled, or frozen food at optimal temperatures during transport. Access the insulated compartment via its dedicated zipper.

Folding for Storage
To fold the trolley for compact storage, first remove the main bag if desired. Then, release the frame locking mechanisms (usually located near the base or sides) and gently push the frame inwards until it collapses. The wheels can also be easily removed for even more compact storage.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the alloy steel frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Bag: The water-repellent bag can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, the bag can be removed and hand-washed. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Wheel Maintenance: Periodically check the wheels for debris (hair, string, etc.) and remove them to ensure smooth rotation. Lubricate axles if necessary with a silicone-based spray.
- Storage: Store the trolley in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
- Trolley does not fold/unfold smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism. Ensure all locking levers are properly disengaged/engaged. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts if stiffness persists.
- Wheels are stiff or not rotating: Inspect wheels for trapped debris (hair, lint, etc.) and remove. Ensure wheels are correctly attached to their axles. Lubricate axles if needed.
- Handlebar does not adjust: Verify that the adjustment buttons/levers are fully pressed or released. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the sliding mechanism.
- Bag detaches from frame: Ensure all bag straps are securely fastened to the trolley frame. Re-fasten if loose.
