8. PRACTICAL ADVICE

TYRES

Check the tyre pressure regularly.

If the tyre pressure is not the same in all 3 tyres, it may be difficult to push (minimum 1,4kg / 20 PSI; max. 1,8kg / 25 PSI).

If you get a flat tyre:

• The tyres are repaired as for bike tyres.
• Remove the inner tube and repair it with a patch.
• Run your finger round the inside of the tyre to ensure no sharp object (e.g. the tip of a thorn) remains stuck in the tyre.
• Replace the inner tube, then the wheel and pump up the tyre.
  If the inner tube is too damaged, replace it. (A new one is included in the maintenance kit).

When walking on rough, stony ground or in the countryside, watch out for thorny bushes.

If you often get a flat tyre, it may be that you need to increase the pressure in the tyres. You can pump them up to a pressure of 1,8 kgs.

• Check that all 3 tyres are at the same pressure.

You find it hard to fold your stroller:

After cleaning the catches (36), (seen on the inside of the aluminium chassis when folding) apply some drops of silicone or liquid spray (available in DIY shops) as shown.
