5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your VEVOR Yard Drag Sled.
Sled Not Lying Flat:
- If the sled remains rolled up after unpacking, reverse roll it and place a heavy object on it for approximately 30 minutes to help it flatten. Warm temperatures can also assist in this process.
Load Shifting During Transport:
- Ensure all items are securely fastened using the provided tie ropes and the sled's crescent-shaped tie-down holes.
- Distribute the weight of your load as evenly as possible across the sled's surface.
Difficulty Pulling:
- Check if the load exceeds the 1500 lbs (680.39 kg) maximum capacity. Reduce the load if necessary.
- Verify that the sled is being used on an appropriate surface. Extremely rough or sticky terrain may increase resistance.
- Ensure the tow ropes are not tangled or obstructed.
