Package Contents

Before assembly, verify that all parts are present:

• 3 x Polypropylene Shelves
• 4 x Posts (likely aluminum or plastic)
• 4 x Swivel Casters (2 with brakes)
• Assembly Hardware (e.g., screws, washers, if applicable)

Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required. Follow these steps to set up your utility cart:

1. Attach Casters: Carefully turn one of the shelves upside down. Insert the stems of the four swivel casters into the designated holes at each corner of the shelf. Ensure they are firmly seated. Two of the casters have brakes; it is recommended to place these on the same side for easier access.
2. Install Posts: Insert the bottom ends of the four posts into the corner sockets of the shelf with the attached casters. Ensure they are fully inserted and stable.
3. Add Middle Shelf: Slide the middle shelf down over the four posts, aligning the corner holes with the posts. Press down firmly until the shelf is securely in place.
4. Add Top Shelf: Place the top shelf onto the remaining exposed ends of the posts, aligning the corner holes. Press down firmly until the shelf is securely in place. The top shelf often has integrated handles.
5. Final Check: Once all shelves are in place, gently rock the cart to ensure all connections are secure and the cart is stable.

2. Maneuvering: The cart is equipped with four swivel casters for easy movement. Use the integrated handles on the top shelf to push or pull the cart.
3. Braking: When the cart needs to remain stationary, engage the brakes on the two designated casters by pressing down on the lever. To release, lift the lever.

• Caster Care: Periodically check casters for debris (e.g., hair, string) that may impede movement. Clean as necessary. Lubricate caster axles if movement becomes stiff.
