Caring For Your C-TUG® Cart

Thanks for purchasing a Quality, New Zealand Made C-TUG Cart The C-TUG is designed for the movement of watercraft. It is specifically not designed for the movement of people either directly on the cart, or in or on watercraft or other objects placed on the cart. Due to the harsh and abusive environment where this product may be used, we suggest the following steps be taken to extend the life of your C-TUG;

• After using your C-TUG in salt water, or sandy/dusty conditions remove the wheels, disassemble the chassis, and hose it down with fresh water. Wash the axle area thoroughly
• Do not clean with solvents or solvent-based products, and avoid commercial cleaning products, fresh water is best for cleaning C-TUG components
• When portaging in hot, dry or dusty conditions it is recommended that you spray axles with water regularly to avoid overheating in the axle area
• Each time you fit the wheels to your C-TUG ensure the axle is clean and free of sand or debris
• Do not leave your C-TUG cart in strong sunlight for extended periods. Your C-TUG is designed for use outdoors but both rubber and thermoplastics will degrade if left in strong sunlight for long periods.

With reasonable care, you can expect it to serve you well for many years. There is a 2 year warranty against manufacturing defects on the SandTrakz wheels and a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects on standard Kiwi Wheels and all other parts.
