Instructions

Unfolding the pram

By pushing the lock buttons 4, unfold the upper section to bring the handle in horizontal position. Pull handle 1 upwards until handle catch 2 has engaged. WARNING! Before using the pram, make sure all catches are locked.

Folding the pram

Turn safety turn-lock 3 inward until the handle's 1 catch has released. Push handle downwards to fold the pram. By pushing the lock buttons 4, fold the handle's upper section inward. WARNING! We recommend proceeding with caution when folding and unfolding the chassis, and adjusting the backrest, as there is a risk that you do yourself an injury such as jamming your limbs, fingers, etc.

Changing of wheels

Push the button 5 to release the retention, and pull off the wheel.

Push the wheel right to the axle's stop, and press down the button.

Make sure, all wheels are held in place properly.

Lock-type-swivel wheels (only S and XLS)

Turn down the lock lever 6 to pre-select the straight-line motion mode, which will be activated as soon as any wheel starts to point in forward direction. The lever 6 will act on both the right and left wheels as well. To allow the wheels to swivel freely again, turn the lever 6 back to the horizontal position until it snaps into place.

ATTENTION! IMPORTANT!

Remember to clean the wheel blocks on a regular basis depending on the dirt accumulation degree. Dirt, sand, muddy water, salty slush, etc. may cause a deposit accumulating inside the sleeves, and thus restricting the swivelling movement. Clean the guiding pin as well as the guiding and locking sleeve using a damp cloth. If necessary, rinse them out with clear water, rub them dry, and spray them using a silicone based lubricant.

Do not use oil! When cleaning the wheel block, press down the metal clamp to separate the halves and pull off the lower section.

The catching pins on both sides engage automatically, which is indicated each time by a click sound.WARNING! By pulling the upper section, check before use whether it is fixed securely! If the red safety point can still be seen, the upper-section lock has not yet completely closed!Pull the locking lever downwards until it snaps into place to open the lock and to remove the upper section.

Sun canopy

Press the two front hood bows together 10 to adjust the hood. Adjusting the hood can be effected silently. By taking off the rear hood section 11, the hood can be converted into a sun canopy by means of a zip fastener. As an additional protection, the sun visor can be pulled out.

When inserting it, make sure the safety bar locks into place correctly and be careful not to pinch any of the fabric parts. By pressing the buttons the safety bar position can be changed. WARNING! The hood bar 9 of the stroller and the safety bar are not suitable

All the materials we use can easily be cared for.

Care of the fabric parts

Clean soiled fabrics when dry using a clothes-brush or lukewarm water (then use hair dryer). Do not rub fabrics extensively. Remove tenacious stains using a soft detergent. All removable fabric parts may be machine washed in lukewarm water at a gentle setting and reduced agitation, at 30^ . Let's say you have encountered a heavy rain shower. Dry your carriage with the hood still on in a dry and airy room using a cloth. This prevents marking as well as the underlining fabrics from moist soaking in through the seams. As a guaranteed protection against rain, we recommend that you use our rain cover, which is either included or can be purchased at your dealer's. Our fabrics have quite a number of distinctive features. However, they are very sensitive to excessive sunlight. That's why you should park your carriage in the shade whenever possible.

Care of the chassis

The chassis requires regular care. You should clean and slightly lubricate the wheel axles at a regular 4-weeks interval. Use a silicone based lubricant spray for all moving plastic parts to maintain them in an operative condition. Keep all coated and chrome-plated metal parts in dry condition, and use a finish restorer or chrome paste if necessary. Remove smaller chassis paint damages by means of a touch-up applicator. Do not use high-pressure cleaners when cleaning your carriage, due to risk of damaging the ball bearings of the wheels (greased) and other functional parts (grinding and creaking noise). Wheels: When using pneumatic wheels, make sure they have got enough air in the tire. Specified tire inflation pressure should be between 1.2 and 1.5bar max. WARNING! Max. tire pressure will be reached quickly. Overpressure may result in accidents and personal injuries. Replace worn plain wheel bearings and springs in time. Whenever possible, do not park carriages using pneumatic tired wheels for a longer period of time on light PVC or linoleum as rubber tires may rub off on the floor covering. Little stones in the thread, etc. may just as well damage the floor covering. When parking the carriage in the blazing sun or cramming it in the boot at temperatures of above 40^ , the semi pneumatic tires may flatten or become deformed.

Tire air loss

Tires tend to lose air over time. When blowing up a flat tire, inflate it only halfway first, and make sure the tire is evenly seated, to avoid "wobble". Then continue to inflate it to the proper pressure.

2 YEARS WARRANTY

This product is guaranteed for a period of 2 years by your contract partner. For possible submission of proof, please keep your receipt, the completed warranty card as well as the hand-over check bearing your signature for the length of the warranty period. These documents must be submitted to qualify for service under the warranty.

IN CASE OF WARRANTY CLAIM

This product is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship that existed at the time it was handed over.

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ....

We disclaim liability for defects in the object of purchase that are beyond our control. This especially applies to:

natural wear and tear (wear-related defects) and defects due to excessive stress
■ consequential defects, originally caused by neglect of defects/damages but developing into conditions necessitating a more difficult repair
defects due to improper or inappropriate use (see Instructions)
defects due to incorrect assembly or operation
defects due to negligent handling or lack of maintenance of the product
defects due to improper alteration of the product.

WARRANTYCLAIM-YESORNO?

Rust: To provide a proper basic protection of the chassis, it has undergone a rust-proofing treatment. However, rust-stains may be found when lacking maintenance. This case will not be covered by the warranty. Scratches: Scratches caused by wear and tear will not be covered by the warranty. Mould formation: Fabric parts, having become wet, should be dried properly to prevent mould formation (see Instructions). Mould formation will not be covered by the warranty. Bleaching of the fabrics: We confirm that the fabrics comply with the established standards. It cannot be ruled out that colours of the fabrics may fade while the parts are exposed to direct sunlight, washed too frequently, come into contact with sweat and detergents, or suffer abrasive wear (especially on those parts where the pram is handled). Consequently, colour fading is excluded from the warranty. It is unavoidable that colours sometimes differ slightly from one individual batch to the next, which is why this case will not be covered under the warranty. Knob formation on fabrics: We recommend that you apply general clothes care. As with woollen sweaters, the knobs can easily be removed by using a clothes-brush or burling machine. Tearing of seams, fabrics, press studs : At the time of purchase, please check carefully that all the fabric parts, seams and snap fasteners have properly been sewn and fastened. In case of a possible complaint concerning seams/defective snap fasteners, a claim must immediately be reported to your dealer after the defect has been discovered. Wheels: As wheels used on prams will not be balanced, they may show slight runouts ("wobbles"). Worn tires will be regarded as natural wear and tear. No claim can be raised if your pram, using pneumatic tired wheels, has a "flat". This will be attributed to extraneous causes — a small hole caused by a pointed object, or pushing the pram about when it has not got enough air in the tire. This case will not be covered by the warranty.
