Setup and Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your laundry hamper. It is recommended to keep all screws loosely fastened until the entire frame is assembled, then tighten them securely.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
- Attach Casters: Insert each of the 4 casters into the designated holes at the bottom of the metal frame legs. Ensure that the 2 casters with brakes are positioned on the same side for easier access. Secure them with the provided hardware, but do not fully tighten yet.
- Assemble Frame: Unfold the main metal frame sections. Connect any remaining frame pieces as indicated by the design, aligning all screw holes. Insert screws but keep them loose. Note: Some frame plates may appear incorrectly oriented upon initial inspection. Ensure the frame can collapse and expand smoothly before tightening.
- Secure Support Rods: Attach any additional support rods, typically located near the bottom of the frame, to enhance stability. Fasten them loosely.
- Tighten All Screws: Once all frame components and casters are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all screws using the provided wrench or screwdriver until secure. Do not overtighten.
- Attach Liner Bag: Place the removable liner bag into the assembled metal frame. Secure the bag to the frame using the integrated Velcro strips along the top edge. Ensure the Velcro is firmly pressed together for a secure fit.
