Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Exterior

• For general cleaning, wipe the fabric exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and finish.

2. Wheel Care

• Periodically check the spinner wheels for any debris (e.g., hair, lint) that may hinder smooth operation.
• Clean the wheel axles with a soft brush or cloth.
• If wheels become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axles.

• If a zipper becomes difficult to operate, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.

Troubleshooting

1. Handle is Stiff or Wobbly

• Ensure the handle release button is fully depressed when extending or retracting.

• If the handle remains wobbly, it may indicate internal damage. Refer to the warranty section for repair options.

2. Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly

• Clean any debris from around the wheels and axles (refer to Maintenance section).
• Apply lubricant if necessary.
• If a wheel is damaged or broken, contact customer support for replacement parts or service.
