2. Assemble Frame: The main metal frame typically unfolds or connects with simple push-button mechanisms. Ensure all frame sections are securely locked into place.
3. Attach Castors: Insert the four swivel castors into the designated sockets at the base of the trolley legs. Ensure they are firmly seated and can rotate freely.
4. Insert Trays: Place the two removable plastic trays onto their respective supports on the frame. The trays are designed with raised edges to prevent spills.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your trolley.

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The plastic trays can be washed with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reattaching.

7. Troubleshooting
