6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Autodaya Garden Dump Cart.

• Cleaning: After each use, especially when hauling dirt, fertilizer, or other corrosive materials, clean the polypropylene tray with water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.

• Tire Care: Check tire pressure regularly. Maintain the recommended pressure for optimal performance and to prevent premature wear. Inspect tires for punctures or excessive wear.

Dumping mechanism is stiff or not engaging:

• Check for any debris or obstructions around the release lever and pivot points.
• Ensure all connections for the dumping mechanism are securely fastened.
