When starting up a stainless steel manual trolley, it's important to follow certain precautions to ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity of the equipment. Here are some key steps and tips to keep in mind:

1. Pre-Start Inspection

Check the Wheels: Ensure all wheels are in good condition, rotate freely, and have no visible damage or debris stuck in them.

Inspect the Brakes: If your trolley is equipped with brakes, verify that they are functioning properly and are not engaged, which could prevent the trolley from moving smoothly.

Examine the Handle and Frame: Ensure the handle is securely attached and the frame is free from cracks, bends, or other structural damage.

Load Check: Confirm that the load on the trolley is within its weight capacity and is evenly distributed to prevent tipping or strain on the wheels.

2. Starting Up

Clear the Path: Ensure the area around the trolley is clear of obstacles, people, and slippery surfaces to avoid accidents.

Push Smoothly: Apply gentle, even pressure to the handle to start moving the trolley. Avoid sudden jerks or excessive force, which could cause the trolley to tip over or damage the wheels.

Control Speed: Adjust your pushing speed according to the environment and load. Move slowly in crowded areas or on uneven surfaces.

Use Brakes Properly: If brakes are present, engage them gently when stopping to avoid locking the wheels suddenly and causing the trolley to skid.

3. Handling Different Terrains

Uneven Surfaces: When moving over bumps, curbs, or uneven terrain, push the trolley slowly and use extra care to prevent the load from shifting or the trolley from tipping.

Slopes and Ramps: Exercise caution when moving the trolley up or down slopes. For downhill movement, consider using the brakes to control speed and prevent runaway.

4. Safety Tips

Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the trolley's maximum weight capacity, as this can strain the wheels, frame, and handle, leading to potential failure.

No Climbing: Never allow personnel to climb or sit on the trolley, as it is designed for transporting goods, not people.

Emergency Stops: Familiarize yourself with the brake mechanism to perform emergency stops if needed.

5. Troubleshooting

If the Trolley is Hard to Start:

Check for Overload: Ensure the load does not exceed the trolley's capacity.

Examine Wheels: Look for debris, damage, or tightness in the wheels.

Inspect Brakes: Make sure the brakes are not engaged or malfunctioning.

Lubricate Moving Parts: If the trolley has not been used in a while, lubricate the wheels and any moving parts to ensure smooth operation.

6. Post-Use Care

Park in a Safe Location: After use, park the trolley in a designated area away from high-traffic zones or hazards.

Perform Regular Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for routine maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, and inspections.
