INT General Safety Notes ATTENTION: You are responsible for the safety of your child. Not complying with these notes may put the safety of your child at risk. Never- theless, all possibly occurring conditions and unforeseeable situations cannot be covered. Common sense, caution and vigilance are factors this product cannot provide; they are taken for granted in per- sons using the stroller/pram. The person using the stroller/pram and its appropriate accessories should understand all instruc- tions. You should explain the operation of the stroller/pram to all persons using it and its appropriate accessories. Consult an au- thorised teutonia dealer if any of the in- structions are incomprehensible and more detailed explanations are required, or if you have further queries. ● WARNING: Never leave your child unattend -

Additional important safety notes ● We point out explicitly that the use of accessories or spare parts not made or approv ed by teutonia may compromise the safety of this product and will void all warranty claims. ● This pram is intended for only one child. ● The seat or the carry-cot may not be used in the car. Congratulations! teutonia products combine traditional workmanship and technical innovations with fashionable design. teutonia stands for quality that meets most stringent requirements. The teutonia logo with the rainbow is your guarantee that this is a genuine teutonia model.

Instructions on what to do in the event of a complaint are given starting on page

We are convinced that by selecting this product you have made a good choice and your child will be safe in a teutonia stroller/pram. Please contact your dealer should you never- theless have reason for complaint. Your teutonia team General The product has been tested in a temperature range of -20° C to +60° C (-4 °F to +140 °F). Besides the many positive properties of our materials such as air permeabili- ty, etc., many fabrics are very sensitive to intensive solar ra- diation. Past experience has shown us that the rays of the sun are now so aggressive that we at teu tonia have to re- commend that you park the pram in the shade. Avoid ex- posing it to direct sunlight, and the fresh colours on your buggy will be preserved for longer. Colours may va- ry. No complaints may be made in this regard. Please note that improper handling, possible water rings, or differences in colour (as described above) do not justify a complaint. Regular care of all metal parts, particularly the chrome parts and especially after trips to the sea, is necessary on the pram to maintain a quality appearance. Com- mercially available treatment products are sufficient for this. The axles must be cleaned and lightly oiled approxi- mately every 4 weeks.

Unfoldin Folding t right-han duce the handle. Assemb ● The pushchair seat is designed for a child up to 15 kg. ● Carry-cots, prams and sports buggies may be used only for transport and are not a substitute for a cot or a cradle. ● Always park the stroller/pram out of the reach of children and do not allow children to play in or with the stroller/pram. ● Please never park the stroller/pram without first applying the brakes. Make sure that the brakes have locked properly. ● The brakes should always be applied when you sit or lift your child in and out of the stroller/pram. ● Always avoid parking on slopes. ● When using public transport take special care to ensure the stroller/pram stands firmly and safely. ● Wheel the stroller/pram slowly and gently up and down steps. ● Never place objects on the folding top. ● The shopping net can be loaded to a maximum of 5 kg (11 lbs). Please always place heavy objects in the centre of the shopping basket. ● When unfolding and folding the chassis make sure that you do not pinch yourself or others. ● Make sure that no locks disengage while carrying the stroller/pram over obstacles (e.g. steps). ● When adjusting the stroller/pram make sure that your child is clear of moveable parts. ● The stroller/pram can be damaged or destroyed by overloading, improper folding or use of unapproved accessories. ● The foot rest is not suitable for transporting heavy loads or a second child. ● Before using the stroller/pram for the first time: please remove the labels or tags that DO NOT refer to safety instructions or notes. ● Never use the foot rest or the safety bar to lift or carry the stroller/pram. Parking the pram/buggy Attention: Under certain circumstances, the wheels may cause discolouration of floor surfaces. Foreign bodies (e.g. little stones) in the wheels must be re- moved to prevent any potential damage to floor surfaces. Extreme heat, in particular direct contact with hot surfaces (e.g. in the car in summer) can lead to permanent defor- mations on hollow cavity tyres. Related complaints or claims for compensation will not be recognized. Cleaning the textile parts To remove small stains, use a cloth dampened with clear water and carefully clean the spot. Avoid brisk rubbing (es- pecially on dark fabrics). Normally, all removable fabric parts can be washed in the washing machine with a fine fabric detergent (no brightening agents) at 30 °C/85 °F (gentle cycle). Please check separate care la- bels on the fabric parts. Rain Cover In rainy weather fit the rain cover over the entire stroller/pram before it starts to rain. Caution: The rain cover is not a toy! Never leave your child unsupervised. For the best possible ventilation of the strol- ler/pram we recommend using the rain cover only for the duration of the rain shower. Removing the hood cover Both hood bars must be remo- ved from the cover before was- hing. (See illustration) Loosen the screw using a screw driver and remove the press stud. Now pull the cover bar out of the joint and out of the hood cover. After wash ing, reassemble in reverse order. When doing this, make sure that each cover bar is pushed into both stitched guides. The front and back bars must not be mixed up. INT Quadro_in_mistral_s_08_in.qxd 12.10.11 13:38 Seite 10QUADRO

Unfolding the Chassis Pull up the folding handle 1 (hand grip) till it locks in one sharp movement so that both handle ends 2 fully engage in the left and the right lock.

WARNING: Ensure that

all the locking devices are engaged before use. Folding the Chassis Pivot the folding handle to the side with the locking rods. Now pull the two unlocking rods on both sides 1 up -wards and press the slide for- wards. The chassis is folded up to the arrester 2, which prevents inadvertent folding. The chassis does not fully fold unless the foot step 3 on the right-hand side of the stroller has been pushed. You can re- duce the storage size further by folding down the top of the handle. Assembling and removing the wheels Before assembling or remo- ving the wheels, press the locking spring 1. When assem- bling the wheels, make sure that the locking spring enga- ges properly.

Swivel wheel Swivel wheel unlocked Swivel wheel locked We recommend that you do not lock the wheels while moving as this will give a more comfortable ride. Seat cover The seat cover can be removed completely from the seat unit for washing. Simply open the snaps on the seat unit. The seat and lying area is designed for use on both sides, once the hood cover has been removed. Open the side zips, pull the cover from the head part and the crotch strap to the other side; reattach the midddle part to the lateral parts. Attention: When mounting the seat cover, thread the ends of the 5-point restraint back through the relevant openings without twisting the straps. Height-Adjustable, Foldable Handle To change the height of the handle, press in the adjusting buttons on both sides of the handle. Swivelling the Foldable Handle In order to tilt the slide, simultaneously pull the two so- ckets 1 on the slide upwards and then start tilting. Make su- re that the slide locks again in the two main clasps on the left and right and that it is not stuck. Parking brake Applying the parking brake (Fig.1) Move brake lever 1 in the direction of the arrow until the sa- fety lever 2 audibly clicks into place; the parking brake is on. Releasing the parking brake (Fig.2) Press the safety lever 2 and move brake lever 1 in the di- rection of the arrow as far as it will go; the parking brake is re- leased. Tip: If the parking brake cannot be operated easily, push the pram a few centimetres forwards or backwards so that the brake rods grip the rims correctly. Each time you apply the brake, make sure that the brake has locked completely and that the pram is standing securely. Supplement to the parking brake If you should notice a change to the braking action, loosen the lock nut first in order to be able to implement settings on the adjusting screw (unscrew). Then re-attach the lock nut. Removing the body Secure the pushchair against accidental rolling. INT On both Push an tion).

Adjusting the foot rest Press and hold the foot rest arrester (14); there are three positions avail- able for the foot rest. Using the 5-point harness You can position the shoulder harnesses at 3 levels. Always use the position closest to the shoulder level of your child. Open the harness by pressing both sides of the buckle latches as shown in Fig. 1. It is not necessary to separate the chest restraints from the waist restraints. Sit your child in the stroller, move both its arms through the harness opening and insert the buckle latch in- to the crotch belt latch.

WARNING: Always use the crotch strap in

combination with the waist belt. Attaching points (D-rings) for a separate belt harness are provided at the outer ends of the waist restraints.

The body is securely lo- cked in if the red marking (3) is not visible.

Check that the pram body or seat unit attach- ment devices are correctly engaged before use. How to use the hood Push the insert pieces for the hood joints into the corres- ponding openings on the armrest or on the carry-cot. Attention: You must secure the press studs on the back end of the cover onto the rear of the backrest as the cover is also used as a protection against falling out. If you need to remove the hood, undo the press studs on the rear of the backrest; press the release buttons on the insert pieces of the hood joints and pull the joints out of the openings. You can open the zip at the top of the hood for ventilation. Adjusting the back rest Pull up on the arrester of the back rest (16) to change its in- clination angle (4 seating and prostrate positions + folding position all the way forward) Quadro_in_mistral_s_08_in.qxd 12.10.11 13:38 Seite 13QUADRO Safety bar Push the insert pieces on the safety bar through the slots in the seat cover into the receptacles beneath, which are lo- cated in the armrests. Make sure that the safety bar has cli- cked into place on both sides. To remove it, press the release buttons on the insert pieces. In order to make it ea- sier for your child to get in and out, it suffices to release and fold up one side of the bar. Special features of the model variations Models with deceleration brake: You are able to control the de- celeration brake using the bra- ke on the handlebar. The bra- king action can be fine-tuned using the adjustment screw on the brake lever. Note: The brake should only be used to slow the wheels, not to block them.

Warning: When reordering rear wheels, please ensure that

the supplier is aware of the deceleration brake as the bra- ke requires a special brake disc. The foot brake will not function if the wrong brake disc is used! Adjusting the straight-running stability Shade holder on pram

If you have grounds for complaint, you have statutory rights against your dealer, who has sold the pram to you, which are unaffected by the information below. To provide proof that your pram was purchased from your dealer, please re- tain the handover form you filled in and signed, together with your receipt, for the duration of the statutory warranty period. This period lasts 2 years and commences when the pram is handed over to you.

WHAT IS COVERED IN THE EVENT

OF A COMPLAINT? Claims under warranty cover any defective materials or workmanship apparent at the time of the handover. The warranty does not cover

• natural symptoms of wear and tear or damage due to excessive use

• damage due to unsuitable or incorrect use

• damage due to faulty assembly or use

• damage due to carelessness or poor maintenance of the pram

• damage due to incorrect modifications to the pram Defects must be reported immediately to prevent consequential damage. FABRICS FADING: sunlight, sweat, cleaning agents, wear (especially at points within easy reach) or over-frequent washing can all lead to fading; fading is thus not considered a defect. PILLING OF FABRICS: pilling is possible and is not considered a defect. As in the case of woollen jumpers, you can treat fabrics with a clothes brush or a textile razor to eliminate the majori- ty of the bobbles. TORN SEAMS/ PRESS STUDS/FABRIC: please check carefully on purchase, whether all fabric parts, seams and press studs are properly sewn and attached and whether all the zips work properly. WHEELS: worn wheels are natural symptoms of wear. Damage to pneumatic tyres due to external effects, sharp objects or use with the wrong air pressure (for max. air pressure, see tyre case) is not considered poor work- manship. Our wheels are not balanced. Slight imbalance due to the production process can therefore not be ruled out and as a result, is not considered a defect.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN PURCHASING

Please go through the handover form with us to rule out as far as possible your needing to make a claim under war- ranty.

PROCEDURE IN THE EVENT OF COMPLAINTS

If you subsequently find a defect, please report this to us, the dealer from whom you bought the pram, by te- lephone without delay so that we can discuss how to pro- ceed. This ensures that justified complaints can be dealt with quickly and without great distances having to be co- vered. So your contact for any repairs or complaints is your teutonia dealer.

USE, CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The pram is a means of transport for your child, and needs to be looked after and maintained in accordance with the instructions for use in order to maintain its original quali- ty. We draw your attention expressly to the fact that only original accessories and spare parts may be used. DO YOU HAVE GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT OR NOT? RUST: the frame is provided with a protective coating. If it is not serviced or is treated badly, however, rust spots may form. This is not considered a defect. SCRATCHES: scratches are considered normal symptoms of wear and tear and not a defect. MOULD: textiles which have got damp and then not been dried pro- perly (see instructions for use) may go mouldy and do not represent poor workmanship.
