Using this hand truck is a breeze. First, adjust the removable base plate to fit your load. Place your items on the base and use the adjustable nylon belts to secure them tightly. Extend the telescoping handle to a comfortable height for you. Then, tilt the hand truck back and use the large 8 - inch wheels to move it around, even over rough ground. When going up or down stairs, keep in mind its 132 lb capacity. For storage, collapse the hand truck and it won't take up much space. As for maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of wear and tear. Make sure the telescoping handle moves smoothly. Clean the aluminum frame with a mild detergent and water. Also, check the rubber feet and supports to ensure they're in good condition. And always be careful not to overload the hand truck beyond its capacity to keep it working well for a long time.
