Assembly Instructions

Assembly is required for the Luxor HE34 Utility Cart. Please follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Verify all components are present as per the "Package Contents" section.
2. Attach Casters: Insert the four heavy-duty casters into the designated holes on the bottom of the lowest shelf. Ensure the two locking casters are placed on the same side (e.g., the side with the push handle) for easier access. Secure them firmly.
3. Install Lower Legs: Insert the four leg posts into the corner receptacles of the lowest shelf. Ensure they are fully seated.
4. Place Middle Shelf: Carefully lower the middle shelf onto the top of the installed leg posts, aligning the receptacles with the posts. Press down firmly until the shelf is securely in place.
5. Install Upper Legs: Insert the remaining four leg posts into the corner receptacles of the middle shelf.
6. Place Top Shelf: Lower the top shelf onto the upper leg posts. This shelf includes the ergonomic push handle. Ensure it is oriented correctly and fully seated.
7. Final Check: Once assembled, gently rock the cart to ensure all connections are secure and stable. If any part feels loose, re-check the assembly steps.

Note: No special tools are typically required for assembly, as components are designed to fit securely. However, a rubber mallet may be used gently to ensure full seating of posts into shelves if needed.

Operating Instructions

Loading the Cart

• Ensure the cart's locking casters are engaged before loading items.
• Distribute the weight of items evenly across the three shelves to maintain balance and stability.
• Place heavier items on the lower shelves to reduce the center of gravity and improve stability during transport.
• The .25-inch retaining lip on each shelf helps prevent items from sliding off during movement.
• Do not overload the cart beyond its 300-pound weight limit.

Moving the Cart

• Disengage the locking casters before moving the cart.
• Use the ergonomic push handle molded into the top shelf for comfortable maneuvering.
• Push the cart slowly and steadily, especially when heavily loaded or navigating turns.
• Be mindful of obstacles, uneven surfaces, and doorways.

Parking the Cart

• Once the cart is in its desired stationary position, engage the locking brakes on the two swiveling casters to prevent accidental movement.

Maintenance

The Luxor HE34 Utility Cart is designed for low maintenance due to its durable structural foam plastic construction. Follow these simple guidelines to ensure its longevity:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the shelves and legs with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic. The molded plastic will not rust, dent, scratch, or stain.
• Caster Inspection: Periodically check the casters for any debris (e.g., hair, string) that might impede their rotation. Clean as necessary. Ensure casters are securely attached.
• Storage: Store the cart in a dry environment when not in use.
