Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The unit arrives flat-packed and requires assembly with standard hand tools. It is critical to place the base on a completely flat, level surface to ensure the hydraulic struts align correctly.
Compatibility: Designed to fit standard residential wheelie bins. Before installation, check your bin dimensions against the internal capacity of the cover.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap periodically. While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, inspect the hydraulic struts annually to ensure they are free from debris and operating smoothly. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could scratch the grey powder-coated finish.
