Troubleshooting
Wheels are stiff or don't roll smoothly.
Check the wheels for any embedded debris (dirt, hair, small stones) and carefully remove it. If the issue persists, try lubricating the wheel axles lightly with a silicone-based lubricant.
Retractable handle gets stuck.
Ensure no obstructions are present in the handle's mechanism. Gently try to jiggle the handle while extending or retracting it. Avoid forcing it, as this can cause damage.
Shoulder straps are difficult to tuck away.
Make sure the straps are laid flat and aligned correctly within the designated slip barrier. Ensure no part of the strap is twisted or caught on the zipper or lining.
Back panel feels uncomfortable when worn as a backpack.
Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted correctly for your torso length. Check that the laptop and other items inside are not protruding and causing discomfort against your back.
