5. Fametrahana

Before first use, or after extended storage, proper setup is crucial.

5.1 Famoahana sy Fivoriambe

• Esory tsara amin'ny fonony ny gropy mpamokatra herinaratra.
• Jereo raha misy fahasimbana amin'ny fandefasana entana. Mifandraisa avy hatrany amin'ny mpivarotra anao raha misy fahasimbana hita.
• Assemble the wheels and handles if they are not pre-installed, following the instructions in the separate assembly guide (if provided).

5.2 Fanampiana menaka motera
