Congratulations on your purchase

You want your baby to feel safe and secure, that's why you have purchased a 'Hastan' high-quality product. You have made an excellent choice. 'Hastan' products are manufactured with the greatest possible care and monitored constantly by rigorous quality control assuring that your pram will provide life-long satisfaction. The textiles used for our products have been tested for harmful substances (chemical residues) according to the industry's own 'Oko-Tex-Standard 100' to guarantee that all the fabric parts of your pram are safe for your baby.

Please do not use this pram before reading the instructions carefully, and keep these instructions for queries or future reference. Your child's safety may be affected if you do not follow these instructions.

WARNING!	Use the safety belt for your child.
WARNING!	Shopping bags must not be hung on the handle as this may affect the stability of the pram.
WARNING!	This model has been designed for one child only.

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

Press the retaining spring 5 and pull off the wheel. To reassemble the wheel, also press retaining spring and slide it on the axle to the stop. Make sure, spring snaps back in its correct position.

Replacement of brake disk and drum brake

Press the two push buttons at both sides of the front wheel and remove the front wheel unit. Pull the brake assembly housing 6 off the axle. Extract the blue brake disk from the wheel, using a screw driver as a lever. Press the replacement disk onto the axle to the stop.

Parking brake

Always press the brake at a point in the middle of the linked bars 7. Having parked the pram, try to push it to check the brake.

WARNING! Always press the brake right down to the latching position.

Adjustable suspension system

By turning the selector 8, a "hard" or "soft" position can be selected for suspension.

Readjustment of hand brake

This is effected by turning the brake cable adjusting barrel 9.

WARNING! You should prevent operating the drum brake continually for long periods as there is a risk of fade. Brake fade is a temporary loss, or reduction, of brake effectiveness caused by heat. A high performance brake for extreme operating conditions is optional as accessory.

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.

Hood and safety bar

By pressing the bayonet joint, the hood or the safety bar 12 can be pulled out.

Adjusting the backrest

By lifting the back clip 13 at the rear, the backrest can be adjusted from sitting to reclining position in close steps.

WARNING! Please proceed with caution when adjusting the backrest making sure no movable parts jam the baby's limbs, or fingers, etc.

Safety belt

WARNING!

Secure your child by means of the safety belt 14.

Always use the crotch strap in combination with the hip straps.

Remember to tighten the seat belt when it slacks.

Unfasten the belt:

To unfasten the belt, press the red button A and the two buttons B as well.

To unfasten the shoulder straps, press the buttons C.

Adjusting the footrest

By pressing the two red safety buttons 15 at the same time, the footrest can be lowered. When lifting it, adjustment of positions is effected automatically. The footrest can be lengthened. To do this, pull the two red pins 16 and turn the footrest by 180^ .

WARNING! In case the carrycot is attached to the frame, the footrest should always be in horizontal position, as an additional protection preventing it from slipping out.

Secure the carrycot according to the operating instructions

Folding carrycot (XL only)

Pull the carrycot frame 17 upwards and engage the two internal plastic clamp clips firmly in position. To fold the carrycot, fold the two clamp clips inward.

WARNING! Do not use mattresses that have more than 2cm in depth.

Instructions

Retractable mounting frame

By means of a retractable mounting frame attached from the outside to the bottom of the carrycot 18, the height of the horizontal surface can be optimally adjusted. WARNING! When taking the carriage top along, or for putting it down securely, fold the retractable mounting frames 18 towards the bottom. Always place the carrycot on a solid horizontal base.

Automatic lock for upper section

Place the carrycot or stroller unit upon the chassis and pull it into the upper-section lock 19 until the catching pins on both sides have engaged, which is indicated each time by a click sound. To release the upper-section lock, pull the locking lever 19 downwards until the lever has engaged.

WARNING! If the red safety points can still be seen, the upper-section lock has not yet closed completely.

Fall-out protection

As an additional protection preventing the baby from falling out of the carriage, secure the hood to the metal back. To do this, join the two grommets 20 to their respective turn-lock fasteners, and the hook lock 21 to the metal ring on the back plate as well.

Suitability for your child

WARNING!

The Skater X stroller is not suitable for children under the age of 6 months except in connection with an appropriate carrycot.

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 were caught in 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. 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 an regular 4-weeks interval. Use a silicone based lubricant spray for all moving plastic parts. 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.

Wheels: Using pneumatic wheels, make sure they have got enough air in the tire. Specified tire inflation pressure should be between 1.5 and 2bar max. WARNING! Max. tire pressure will be reached quickly. Overpressure may result in accidents and personal injuries. Replace worn wheel bushes 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.

Quality agreement

2 YEARS WARRANTY

This product is guaranteed for a period of 2 years beginning on the date it is handed over by the dealer. For possible submission of proof, please keep your receipt, the completed warranty card as well as the handover check bearing your signature for the length of the warranty period. These documents must be submitted to qualify for service under the warranty.

WHAT WILL BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY?

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.

WARRANTY CLAIM - YES OR NO?

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 run-outs ("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.

WHAT TO REMEMBER WHEN BUYING YOUR PRAM

Check that your pram is complete when it is handed over and no parts are missing. Check the function of all parts and confirm this by signing the hand-over check.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A COMPLAINT

Call your dealer, from whom you bought the pram, to file the complaint and to discuss how to handle the matter. In case of defects concerning safety regulations, your complaint must be filed at your dealer within a 30 days period from the date the defects have occurred, otherwise these defects will not be warranted for. When handling your warranty claims, we will apply product-specific depreciation rates. We refer you to our general terms and conditions displayed at our premises.

USE, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To maintain the original quality of your pram as a means of transportation for your child, it requires care and maintenance according to the instructions.
