MAINTENANCE
• Clean the Timpani Cart with a mild detergent and warm water.
Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning products.

• Immediately replace or repair any tire that develops a flat area.
• Recommended tire pressure is 30 psi (207 kpa). Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure
shown on the sidewall of the tire. Inspect tire pressure periodically as tires may lose air pressure

• During heavy usage, periodically check and tighten the fasteners.
• Lubricate grease zerks and bushings as required.
