5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Loading the Cart
Place items evenly within the 5 cubic foot tray to maintain balance. Avoid overloading the cart beyond its 397 lbs capacity. The wide base helps distribute weight, making it suitable for transporting various materials like gravel, soil, fertilizer, and tools.

5.2 Moving the Cart
Grasp the padded U-shaped handle firmly. The 10-inch solid foam wheels provide traction and a smooth ride across various terrains, including hilly and uneven paths. Push or pull the cart with steady motion, especially when loaded, to prevent loss of control.

- Frame: The heavy-duty metal frame is designed for durability. Inspect the frame regularly for any signs of rust, bending, or loose connections. Tighten any loose bolts as needed.
