SHOPPING BASKET WHEEL MATERIALS

• Wheel with PUR or TPE tyre, polypropylene or polyamide 6 thread guard and plain bearing.
HOW TO CLEAN SHOPPING BASKET WHEELS

How to Lubricate Shopping Basket Wheels
- Do not overload the basket
- HOW TO DO IT:
- Turn the basket upside down. Push the wheel towards one end of the rivet to expose as much of the opposite side as possible.
- Apply a small amount of lubricant to the exposed rivet. A small ring of foam may appear around the rivet before dissolving and flowing towards the wheel.
- Push the wheel towards the lubricated section of the rivet and rotate it backwards and forwards several times.
- Repeat the process on the second wheel. You can also watch our video for a practical demonstration of the recommended wheel lubrication procedure.
