Using this Albion caster wheel is easy. Just place it where you need it and use the brake to keep it in place when you want it to stay still. When moving, the swivel function allows for smooth turning. As for maintenance, regularly check for any loose parts and tighten them if needed. Wipe the wheel clean from time to time to keep it working well. Remember, since it's a used item, it might have some normal - use scratches, but that doesn't affect its performance.
