There are two folding latches/handles that allow each of the wheel-ends to fold. The frontside latch allows the trolley to be folded in and out of a coee van. The backside latch allows for the user to operate the trolley up and down curbs and stairs.

Understanding which folding latch system is to be used and when, is crucial for the safe transportation of the coee equipment and the overall safety of the user The following instructions will outline when each system is to be used.

WARNING!

DON'T BE A HERO, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR LOAD STRAPPED.

Now that the coee equipment is strapped, it is ready to be loaded into the coee van.

When loading into a coee van, you will be holding the trolley from the frontside end, allowing the backside wheels (closest to the trolley’s handles) to be placed safely onto the vans ooring.

Once the backside wheels are rested on the van, the safety lock can be moved to its ‘UNLOCK’ position. With the trolley in ‘UNLOCK’ position, you can grab the trolley from the frontside end and begin to push into the van. At the same time one pushes into the van, one will activate the frontside latch allowing the backside end to collapse into the van and fold.

TIP:

In order for smooth folding you can hold the latch with one hand and the frame with the other, allowing the mechanism to be folded while being pushed into the van

For unloading the trolley one will be repeating most of the same steps, but backwards. We begin by pulling the trolley outwards from the frontside end. Pulling the trolley from the frontside end will allow the frontside wheel system to be automatically folded down to the oor, once the bigger wheels touch the oor and the locking system is aligned, we can place the trolley into ‘LOCK’ position

With the frontside wheels on the oor we can grab the backside handles which will be still inside the van and pull the trolley out with a bit of upwards pressure to ensure backside wheels spring back into place. This motion will lock the backside wheel system in place and make the trolley ready to be rolled out.

Do not use trolley in UNLOCK position for any reason apart from loading/unloading. Severe injury and damage can occur if operated without training.

WARNING!

ALWAYS PLACE ITEMS TOWARDS THE BACK END OF THE TROLLEY.
