Before using the cart, follow these preparation steps:

• Check the charge level of the battery before use. To do this, press the button on the battery; the charge status is indicated by the LEDs.

• Unfold the folding frame completely.

• Place the battery within the housing of the cart and secure it using the Velcro tape.

• Place the fabric insert in the folding frame.

• Connect the underside of the fabric insert to the centre strut of the folding frame using the Velcro tape.

• Attach the sides of the fabric insert to the folding frame using the Velcro straps.

1. Press the on/off switch to determine the direction of travel:

D → the cart moves forwards, you can pull it.

R → the cart moves backwards, you can push it.

2. Grasp the handle and bring the push bar into an inclined position.

3. Release the parking brakes by pressing lightly on the two plastic „Unlock“ lugs.

4. Press the start button to activate the motor assistance. Motor assistance will remain active as long as you keep the start button pressed. As soon as you release the start button, the motor will switch to standby.

5. You can adjust the length of the push rod using the locking lever on the back of the push rod.

6. There is a holder on the folding frame into which you can lock the push bar when not in use.

1. Switch off the motor by setting the on/off switch to „0“.

2. Lock both parking brakes by pressing the lower „Lock“ section towards the front wheels.

3. Bring the push rod into an upright position and secure it in the holder.

4. If the cart is not in a level position (e.g. on a slight slope/incline), also secure the wheels against rolling away.

1. Remove all objects from the cart, push the push bar together and secure it in the holder.

2. Pull the loop in the centre of the fabric insert to fold up the cart.

3. The two fabric handles on the sides of the fabric insert can be joined together with the integrated Velcro fastener to form a practical handle for carrying.

• Of course, you can also use the cart like a normal handcart without motorised assistance.

• Charge the battery when the charge level falls below 25% at the latest.

• For protection, the battery switches off when the charge level is low, and the motor can no longer be used. In this case, switch off the support by setting the on/off switch to „0“. Recharge the battery promptly.

1. Set the on/off switch to „0“ at the end of use.

2. Remove the battery from the folding frame.

Electrical appliances: The symbol with the crossed out dustbin means that this product cannot be disposed of in the household waste. Electrical waste should be taken to a local acceptance point.

Batteries: Before disposing of the appliance remove the batteries because they have to be disposed of separately. To protect the environment, batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of alongside normal household waste, and should instead be taken to the relevant collection point. Even empty batteries have a residual charge. Before you dispose of them, cover the poles with insulating tape to prevent them short circuiting, which could cause fire or an explosion.
