| GRUV GEAR urges you to
exercise safe use of our products and accessories, and
carefully review and follow the safety and warning information
provided. It is always best to use common safety sense
- GRUV GEAR cannot be held reliable for injuries from
improper use of any of our products.
We include one standard adjustable bungee cord with
the V-CART for your convenience and ease of use with
light to medium duty, although we offer additional
bungees for sale on our store to accomodate bulkier
loads - Heavier loads may require heavy-duty straps,
which we plan to offer soon. GRUV GEAR does not warranty
or replace these bungee cords, and we cannot be liable
for any injury caused by misuse, neglect, or due to
manufacturer defects. These bungee cords are assumed
to have been thoroughly tested and have passed standard
quality control guidelines by the manufacturer. We strongly
advise replacing old, damaged or worn out cords immediately.
V-CART
- Weight capacity of the V-CART is 275 lbs. However,
we do not recommend stacking of equipment higher than
the handle fully extended.
- Ensure that your equipment is fully secure before
tilting or moving the V-CART.
- Operate on level ground as much as possible, and
never leave your V-CART on a graded slope even when
empty. As will any cart system, take extra care when
operating on uneven ground to prevent load-shifting
and possibly having your equipment slide off to the
side.
- Always have a secure grip on the handle while equipment
is loaded, especially on tilt mode. The best way to
tilt the V-CART is by grasping the top of your equipment
(if tall enough), stepping on the corner of the caster
frame, and pulling back with the handle at the same
time.
- Do not operate the V-CART on dirt, mud, sand or
other surfaces where particles are likely to enter
the wheels' ball bearings and axles, which will cause
problems. Store your V-CART in a clean, dry area to
prevent moisture and rust damage.
- Keep your V-CART clean by wiping it down regularly
with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or paper towels. For
excessive dirt, you may dampen the cloth using water,
but dry the V-CART immediately. We do not recommend
using any cleaning solutions or chemicals, as these
may damage the paint and/or decals.
- Lubricate your ball bearing casters regularly using
a spray lube like WD-40 or a similar product for smoother
operation and longer life. Always wipe down excess
lubrication after spraying.
- The V-CART may require a break-in period to operate
the locking arm mechanism, as paint and other debris
may have built up in the tubing during manufacturing.
This will loosen over a few uses. We recommend cleaning
the inside of both ends of the locking arm using a
dry cloth every 6 months.
Stretch cords / bungees manufacturer warnings
(Manufactured by Joubert)
- Stretch the elastic cord cautiously, as uncontrolled
release may cause severe injuries to unprotected body
parts, particularly to the eyes.
- Do not stretch the elastic cord in the axis of one's
face and not beyond 75% of its unstretched length.
- Use common sense to tie down heavy loads:
- Use several stretch cords / bungees,
- Avoid friction to the elastic cord on sharp edges
or abrasive surfaces,
- Make sure the elastic cord is properly hooked before
stretching the cable.
- Heavy items, voluminous items and items which create
windlift must be fastened with a heavy-duty fixing
system such as cargo straps or ropes.
