Only use this seat unit when your child can sit up on their own and from an age of 6 months.

EChecking and care instructions 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 machi- ne washed in lukewarm water at a gentle setting and reduced agitation, at 30 °C. Let‘s say you have encoun- tered 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 purcha

sed 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. Before oiling the wheels and push-in axles, make sure these are absolutely clean and free of sand etc., in order not to compromise the proper working of the locking mechanism. 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: Overpressure may result in accidents and perso

nal injuries. Replace worn plain wheel bearings and springs in time. Replace worn plain wheel bearings and springs in time. 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°C, the semi pneumatic tires may flatten or become deformed. 10Quality agreement 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. 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 fasten

ers, 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. Make sure that the pram is in a clean condition before being sent in for repair. Repairs will not be carried out on prams which are in a dirty condition.
