- To Move: Ensure the wheel locks on the front wheels are disengaged. Carefully push or pull the cabinet to its desired location.

- Removing Wheels: If a stationary setup is preferred, the wheels can be removed during assembly or at any time by unscrewing them from the base.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Lock Mechanism: If the lock mechanism becomes stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
- Wheel Maintenance: Keep wheels free of debris. If wheels become difficult to roll, clean them and check for any obstructions.
- Corrosion Prevention: While the cabinet is designed to be rust-proof and anti-corrosion, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances to maintain its condition.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
