When handling the hopper, be careful not to drop it as the die - cast metal underframe can get damaged. Also, avoid pulling it too hard on the track to prevent issues with the wheelsets and couplers. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body of the hopper. Every now and then, check the wheelsets to make sure they are turning smoothly. If you notice any loose parts or problems with the couplers, you may need to contact the manufacturer for repair advice.
