FAQs
What size hose can this cart hold?
The cart is designed for standard garden hoses. While not specified for a maximum length, it's best suited for hoses up to 30-50 meters depending on their diameter.
Does it come with a hose?
Yes, it is supplied with a starter hose and a set of connectors.
How do I connect it to my tap?
It includes a tap connector that fits 1in, 3/4in, and 1/2in taps. Simply attach the connector to your tap and then connect the hose to the other end of the connector.
Can I use this on uneven ground?
The cart has a freestanding design for stability on most garden surfaces like patios, paths, and lawns. However, extremely uneven ground may affect its stability.
What is the waterstop connector for?
The waterstop connector is placed at the end of the hose and helps to automatically stop the water flow when you disconnect a nozzle or accessory, preventing unnecessary water spillage.
Is assembly required?
Minimal assembly is typically required, usually involving attaching the inlet tube and handle if applicable. It's designed for quick setup.
Troubleshooting
Hose not winding smoothly
Ensure the hose is not kinked before winding. Check for any obstructions on the reel or hose itself. Distribute the hose evenly on the reel.
Water leakage at tap connection
Ensure the tap connector is tightened securely. Check the washer inside the tap connector for wear and replace if necessary.
Cart is unstable
Confirm the cart is on a level surface. Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and tightened.
Wheels are stiff
Clean any dirt or debris from the wheel axles. Lubricate the wheel bearings if necessary, using a standard household lubricant.
