4. Setup and Assembly

The VOUNOT Folding Shopping Trolley requires minimal assembly. It arrives largely pre-assembled and is designed for quick unfolding and use.

4.1 Unfolding the Trolley

1. Place the folded trolley on a flat, stable surface.
2. Gently pull the handle upwards until the frame fully extends and locks into place.
3. Ensure the base support is fully extended and stable before placing the bag or any items on it.

The main storage bag typically comes pre-attached. If it needs re-attaching, align the bag with the frame and secure it using the straps or fasteners provided, ensuring it sits snugly on the frame's base.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Using the 6-Wheel System for Stair Climbing

The unique 6-wheel design allows for easier navigation up and down stairs.

1. Ascending Stairs: Approach the stairs with the trolley. Gently pull the trolley upwards, allowing the rotating tri-wheels to engage with each step. Maintain a steady pace and firm grip.
2. Descending Stairs: Carefully guide the trolley down the stairs, allowing the wheels to roll smoothly over each step. Control the descent with a firm grip on the handle.

1. Empty the bag and remove it if desired.
