Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the Luxor Utility Cart is straightforward and typically takes about 10 minutes. A rubber mallet is highly recommended for easier assembly. Some users find that applying a small amount of lubricant (like silicone spray or 3-in-1 oil) to the leg ends can facilitate insertion into the shelves.
- Attach Casters to Bottom Shelf: Insert the four casters into the designated holes on the underside of the bottom shelf. Ensure the two locking casters are placed on the same side for convenient access. Press firmly until they click into place.
- Attach First Set of Legs: Insert four plastic legs into the corner holes of the bottom shelf. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap them into place until they are fully seated and secure.
- Attach Middle Shelf: Align the middle shelf over the top of the four legs. Carefully lower the shelf, ensuring each leg aligns with its corresponding hole. Use a rubber mallet to tap the shelf down evenly on all four corners until it is securely in place.
- Attach Second Set of Legs: Insert the remaining four plastic legs into the corner holes of the middle shelf. Tap them into place with a rubber mallet.
- Attach Top Shelf: Align the top shelf (with the integrated push handle) over the second set of legs. Carefully lower the shelf, ensuring each leg aligns with its corresponding hole. Use a rubber mallet to tap the shelf down evenly on all four corners until it is securely in place.
- Verify Stability: Once assembled, gently push down on each corner of the top shelf to ensure all connections are tight and the cart is stable.

Operating Instructions
- Moving the Cart: To move the cart, disengage the locking brakes on the casters. Use the integrated push handle on the top shelf to guide the cart to your desired location.
- Securing the Cart: Once the cart is in position, engage the locking brakes on the two designated casters to prevent unintended movement.
- Loading Items: Place items evenly across the shelves to maintain balance and prevent tipping. The shelves feature a .25" retaining lip to help secure items during transport.
- Unloading Items: Ensure the cart is secured with the brakes engaged before removing items.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: The thermoplastic resin shelves and legs can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface.
- Caster Care: Periodically check the casters for any debris (e.g., hair, lint) that may impede their movement. Clean as necessary. Lubricate the swivel mechanisms if they become stiff.
- Structural Integrity: Regularly inspect all connections to ensure they remain secure. If any part appears loose, gently tap it back into place with a rubber mallet.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty during assembly (legs not fitting into shelves) | Tight fit by design for stability. | Use a rubber mallet to firmly tap components into place. Applying a small amount of silicone spray or 3-in-1 oil to the leg ends can also help. |
| Cart is unstable or wobbly | Components not fully seated. | Ensure all legs are fully inserted into the shelves. Use a rubber mallet to secure any loose connections. |
| Casters not rolling smoothly | Debris in caster mechanism or lack of lubrication. | Clean any debris from the caster wheels and swivel mechanisms. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. |
| Shelves appear to bow or sag | Overloading or uneven weight distribution. | Ensure weight does not exceed the 400 lb. capacity and is distributed evenly across the shelves. |
