◆Avoid using the car, tractor trailer to tow.
Avoid using the caster for purposes other than the original purpose, or unloading it and installing it on other equipment.
◆Avoid the weight bias to one side when carrying.
◆For the fixed castor, avoid applying the compulsory force that is not consistent with the direction of rotation of the fixed wheel.
◆Avoid using it on the ground with unevenness and sharp protrusion.
◆Avoid placing it in the place of radioactive heat such as fireplace
(2) Braking device
