When handling it, be gentle as it's a fragile and hard - to - find model. Store it in the original box when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. For maintenance, occasionally check the wheels for any signs of wear. If you notice any excessive noise or a drop in performance, it might be a good idea to have it inspected. Remember, it doesn't have lighting, couplers, or trucks, so don't expect those features. And if you're shipping it back for a return, make sure to pack it securely, though we'll handle the packing really well when sending it to you initially.
