Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Wesco Kickboy is straightforward: simply place the unit on a flat, level surface to ensure the pedal mechanism functions correctly. The protective plastic ring on the base is pre-installed to safeguard your flooring. To maintain the bin, regularly wipe the exterior powder-coated surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive scouring pads that may dull the finish. The galvanized steel inner liner can be removed for thorough washing with water and standard household cleaners. Ensure the liner is completely dry before reinserting it into the main body to prevent moisture buildup.
