Casters and Wheels
Should your cart squeak or become hard
to roll, you should place two or three
drops of general purpose oil on each
wheel at the axle. If your casters are
noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the
roller shaft to make them quieter.
Frame and Handles
Your metal handle is painted to prevent
rust, however, liquids and corrosive
debris should be wiped off with a soft
cloth should they come in contact with
the handle.
