Maintenance
Recommendations
Your National Cart Products have been de-
signed to withstand the daily rigor of normal use
and to perform as expected throughout their
service life with minimal maintenance. While
special cases may exist, the care and mainte-
nance of the products is your responsibility. By
following the procedures listed below, you can
be sure that your purchase will have a long and
useful life. We strongly recommend that you
perform a thorough cleaning and routine main-
tenance every 3-6 months. The products should
be serviced by a trained in-house associate, or
a qualified service company.
CLEAN PRODUCTS EVERY 3
TO 6 MONTHS.
• Products exposed to snow, ice and salt will
need to be cleaned/maintained more often. This
is especially important in Northern Regions
• Take products outside and into a secured
corner of your parking lot, away from cars and
patrons when cleaning.
• When using a power washer do not exceed
1500 psi of water pressure or 150 degrees F. of
water temperature. Too much pressure or heat
can damage the finish.
• Remember to check with your local and state
regulations regarding runoff of detergents or
cleaners.
• Allow products to air-dry completely before
returning them to the store.
• Never use a solvent or a degreaser on the
bearings of your products. If the casters are
making excessive noise use a caster-manufac-
turer recommended oil or grease.
