3. Setup and Assembly
Your Sekey Beach Wagon comes mostly pre-assembled, requiring minimal setup. Follow these steps to prepare your wagon for use:
3.1 Unfolding the Wagon

3.2 Attaching Wheels and Handle (If Detached)
The wheels and handle are typically pre-attached. If they are detached, follow these general steps:
- Wheels: Align each wheel with its axle and push firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the locking pins are engaged.
- Handle: Insert the handle into its designated slot on the wagon frame. Secure it with any provided pins or locking mechanisms.

3.3 Tire Inflation
The 9-inch sand-proof balloon tires are designed for optimal performance on soft surfaces. Proper inflation is crucial.
- Locate the included manual air pump.
- Attach the pump nozzle securely to the tire valve.
- Inflate each tire to the recommended pressure, typically between 0.15-0.20 BAR (2.2-2.9 PSI). Do not over-inflate.
- Important: Only use the provided manual air pump. Electric air pumps can cause over-inflation and damage the tires.

4.3 Folding for Storage
To fold the wagon for compact storage:
- Ensure the wagon is empty.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After use, especially in sandy or salty environments, clean the wagon with fresh water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely to prevent corrosion and mildew.
- Wheel Care: Regularly check tire pressure and inflate as needed using the provided manual pump. Inspect wheels for any damage or wear.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically check the carbon steel frame for any signs of damage, bending, or loose connections. The frame features a scratch-resistant and anti-rust finish for durability.
- Fabric Care: The Oxford fabric can be spot cleaned. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the material.
- Lubrication: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving parts, such as wheel axles and folding mechanisms, to ensure smooth operation.
