4.1 Adjusting the Handle

The ergonomic handle can be adjusted to multiple heights for comfortable pushing. Locate the adjustment buttons or levers on the sides of the handle. Press them simultaneously and slide the handle up or down to your desired height. Release the buttons to lock the handle in position.

For situations requiring pulling, such as navigating stairs or curbs, the trolley can be tilted back to operate on two wheels. Ensure the load is balanced when operating in 2-wheel mode.

4.4 Engaging the Safety Brake

To secure the trolley in a stationary position, push down the safety brake lever, typically located near the rear wheels. Ensure the brake is fully engaged before releasing the handle. To disengage, lift the lever.

4.5 Loading the Bags

• Main Bag: Place your groceries and other items inside the main bag. The bag is extendable, allowing for larger loads. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 25 kg.
• Thermal Bag: Use the front thermal bag for perishable items like meat, fish, or frozen goods to help maintain their temperature during transport.
