FOLDING HAND CART INSTRUCTIONS
Step 3
To close the hand truck, unlatch the plastic clip from
the cross bar (g. 4) and lower the handle while folding
the wheels and carrying platform inward back to the
collapsed position (g 5).
We recommend oiling the telescopic tubes regularly to ensure the smooth opening and closing of the unit. Make
sure there are no obstructions in the wheels and check regularly that the hand truck is in good, working condition.
Safety Tips
Maintenance
1. The maximum load capacity is 150 lbs.
2. Do not attempt to carry anyone on the hand truck.
3. The handle should be free and accessible during loading or transportation.
4. Place the load evenly to avoid unstable loads when transporting.
5. Use good material handling techniques. Assess the load weight and stability before loading (maximum load
capacity of 150 lbs). Plan your movement path and do not walk backwards. Do not run while using the hand
truck.
6. Store in a safe location when not in use. The hand truck could be a potential trip hazard to others if left
unattended.
7. Use extra caution when operating the hand truck on uneven ground or stairs. Make sure others are not in close
proximity to the hand truck in these situations.
