Product Information
Full details
The Solar South Westerly Pro Barrow is an essential piece of equipment for the dedicated carp angler who needs to transport large amounts of fishing gear across uneven terrain. It offers an exceptionally stable, modular loading surface that expands to accommodate bulky tackle, though its robust frame does add significant weight to the load-in process compared to smaller, lightweight barrows.

FAQs
Does the tire come pre-inflated?
The tire typically arrives inflated, but you should check the pressure before your first use to ensure it matches the terrain needs.
Can I fit a large bedchair on this barrow?
Yes, the foldable and extending racks are specifically designed to accommodate wide bedchairs and large carryalls.
Are the bags waterproof?
The bags are designed to protect your gear from light rain, but they are not fully submersible.
Is the handle height adjustable?
The ergonomic handles are designed for a standard comfortable grip, but check the frame settings to ensure optimal leverage.
How do I replace the tire if it gets a puncture?
The wheel can be removed from the fork assembly by releasing the central axle bolt, allowing you to access the tube for repair or replacement.
Troubleshooting
Barrow feels unstable when loaded
Ensure that heavier items are centered over the wheel and that all frame extension pins are fully locked.
Difficulty rolling on soft ground
Check the tire pressure; if the tire is under-inflated, it will sink into soft ground rather than rolling over it.
Racks feel loose
Inspect the hinge points and locking pins for any debris or obstructions that might prevent a firm connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the barrow, unfold the main frame and secure the locking pins in the desired position. Extend the front and side racks to match the footprint of your load, ensuring all pins are clicked firmly into place. For the storage bags, attach them using the provided hook-and-loop or clip systems to ensure they remain secure during transit. Care for your barrow by washing the frame and wheel after use to remove grit or salt, which can degrade the finish over time. Periodically check the tire pressure to ensure smooth rolling and verify that the handle grips are firmly attached. Always store the barrow in a dry location to prevent corrosion of the metal components.
