General The product has been tested in a temperature range of -20° C to +60° C (-4 °F to +140 °F). Besides the many po- sitive properties of our materials such as air permeabili- ty, etc., many fabrics are very sensitive to intensive solar radiation. Past experience has shown us that the rays of the sun are now so aggressive that we at teutonia have to recommend that you park the pram in the shade. To ensure the bright colours of your buggy/pram lasting lon- ger avoid unnecessary stays in blazing sun. It is not al- ways possible to avoid colour differences in individual manufacturing batches. Unfortunately, such complaints cannot be accepted. We hope you will appreciate that im- proper use, possible rain stains or colour differences in materials as described above are not justified reasons for complaints. All metal parts of the buggy/pram requi- re regular care in order for it to keep its high-quality looks. Clean and lightly lubricate the ends of the wheel axles approximately every 4 weeks. Your dealer can provide you with small kits for touching up any damaged paint- work at the chassis. We are convinced that by selecting this product you have made a good choice and your child will be safe in a teutonia buggy/pram. Please contact your dealer should you nevertheless have reason for complaint. Your teutonia team General safety information N WARNING:

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

A child’s safety is your responsibility. Not complying with these notes can be detrimental to the safety of your child. Nevertheless, all possibly oc- curring conditions and unforeseeable situations cannot be covered. Common sense, caution and vigilance are factors this product cannot provide; they are taken for granted in persons using the buggy/pram. The person using the buggy/pram and its appropriate accessories should have understood all instructions. You should ex- plain the operation of the buggy/pram to all persons using it and its appropriate accessories. Consult an au- thorised teutonia dealer if any of the instructions are in- comprehensible and more detailed explanations are re- quired, or if you have further queries. ● Never leave your child unattended. ● Always buckle up your child with the five-point harness. For details read the section “Using the Five-Point Har- ness” in these operating instructions. ● Prior to every use make sure that all locks are proper- ly latched. ● This pram is intended for only one child. ● The seat unit or the carrycot may not be used as a child car seat. ● The buggy is designed for one child of from approx. 6 months to approx. 3 years (15 kg/33 lbs). We recom- mend that you do not transport your child in the buggy until it can sit up unaided. The carrycot should be used for babies younger than 6 months. ● Carrycots, prams and buggies may be used only for transporting babies or children. Under no circumstan- ces are they substitutes for a cot or a cradle. ● Always store the buggy/pram out of the reach of chil- dren, and do not allow children to play in or with the buggy/pram. ● Please never park the buggy/pram without first apply- ing the brake. ● When using public transport take special care to en- sure the pram/buggy stands firmly and safely. ● The brake should always be applied when you sit or lift your child in and out of the buggy/pram. ● Always avoid parking on slopes. ● Never use other spare parts or accessories than tho- se supplied in the delivery scope or those approved by the manufacturer. ● Wheel the buggy/pram slowly and gently down and up steps. ● Do not hang bags or shopping or other heavy objects from the handle as this cam make the pushchair un- stable. ● Never place objects on the folding top. ● The string bag can be loaded to a maximum of 5 kg (11 lbs). Please always place heavy objects in the cen- tre of the shopping basket. ● Please note that using a pram or buggy for another than its typical purpose can be dangerous. This pro- duct is not suitable for jogging, running, skating or si- milar activities. ● When folding and unfolding the chassis make sure that you do not pinch any part of yourself or others.

● Make sure that no locks disengage while the bug- gy/pram is carried over obstacles (e.g. steps). ● When readjusting the buggy/pram make sure that your child is clear of moveable parts. ● The buggy/pram can be damaged or destroyed by overloading, improper folding or use of unapproved ac- cessories. Parking Prams/Buggies Provided with Air Wheels CAUTION: It is possible for the tyres to stain floor cover- ings. Related complaints or claims for compensation will not be admitted. Cleaning the textile parts To remove small stains, use a cloth dampened with clear water and carefully clean the spot. Avoid brisk rubbing (especially 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 labels on the fabric parts. Removing the seat cover with fall-out protection The side covers provided be- neath the armrests and atta- ched to them with Velcro fas- teners can be removed to improve ventilation. If slightly soiled, the seat cover with fall-out protection can be wi- ped with a damp cloth. In ot- her cases, e.g. to wash it, it can be removed from the se- at unit. Remove the press studs and pull the insertion pieces of the metal bar out of the armrests (snap lock). Then pull the metal bar out of the textile cover. During assembly ensure that the insertion pieces are in the correct position. Rain Cover In rainy weather fit the rain cover over the entire bug- gy/pram before it starts to rain. CAUTION: The rain co- ver is not a toy! Never leave your child unsupervised. For the best possible ventilation of the buggy/pram we re- commend using the rain cover only for the duration of the rain shower. Removing the Hood Cover Before washing, the two hood bars have to be removed from the cover as follows (see sketch): 1. Use a coin to turn the covers 1 on the hood joints by 90° and remove them.

2. Separate the hood front bar 3

and the back bar 2, including the plastic bearings, from the push-in part 4. 3. Carefully pull the hood bars from the guide loops. After washing, reassem- ble in reverse order. In this process make sure that the front and back bars are not confused with each other. Unfolding the Chassis Pull up the folding handle 1 (hand grip) up as far as it will go. The handle lock 2 en- gages and the arrester lever 3 automatically moves over the tube as an additional safeguard. Prior to use make sure that all catches have latched. Folding the Chassis Press both release buttons 1 so that the chassis can be folded. Release the ar- rester lever 2 (by raising it) and swivel the handle over to the other side. 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 as- sembling the wheels, make sure that the locking spring engages properly. 8Delta/Prestige - Inserting and Fastening the Seat Insert Place the seat insert in the seat unit. Pull the ends of the belt through the appropriate openings without twisting them. Fasten the buckles at the upper end of the back- rest to their counterparts on the seat insert. Place the additional crotch belt around the front safety bar and snap the press stud. The seat insert is reversible so that to suit weather conditions either the fabric or the fleece side can face upwards. Erecting and folding up the carrycot To erect the carrycot press outwards the safety lock for the folding mechanism on both sides until they engage with a “click”. Make sure that no fabric is caught. To fold up the carrycot, press both safety locks inwards again. Height-Adjustable, Foldable Handle To change the height of the handle, press in the reflec- tors on both sides of the handle. Applying the Parking Brake The brake is activated by pushing down the long brake lever 1. If it is difficult to ap- ply the brake, wheel the bug- gy back and forth a few cen- timetres so that the brake bars engage properly in the wheel rim. The brake is re- leased by pushing down the short brake lever at the top

Fitting and Removing the Buggy Seat or the Carrycot (Buggy Top) Position the seat or carrycot on the chassis so that the bars 1 on each side engage in the provided four slots 2 and push in the seat or carrycot as far as they will go. The locks 3 will automatically latch. The buggy top is secured when the red section behind the locks is no longer visible. To remove the seat or carrycot press the locks down as far as it will go, then remove the seat or carrycot from the slots and lift off. How to Use the Hood Insert the plug-in parts of the hood joints in the appro- priate armrest or carrycot openings and fasten the press studs to their corresponding counterparts. To remove the hood open the press studs, press in the clips from the outside and withdraw the joints from the openings. For ventilation open the zip fastener at the head-end of the hood and roll up the flap. By pressing down the centre of the front hood bar, keeping it depressed and adjusting the hood into its required position the hood joint enables you to adjust the hood without making a noise. The hood can also be adjusted without depressing the hood bar. The noise this makes does not affect function or wear. Adjusting the Backrest Pull the grip 1 upwards and move the backrest 2 into the required position. Please make sure that the backrest re-engages properly. When the backrest is low- ered, the fall-out protection on the seat unit automatically comes into place.

Using the Five-Point Harness Open the harness by pressing both sides of the buckle latches as shown in Figure 1. It is not necessary to sep- arate the chest restraints from the crotch restraints. Sit your child in the buggy, move both its arms through the harness opening and insert the buckle latch into the crotch belt latch. Using the adjusters, adjust the harness as shown in Figure 2. Attaching points (D-ring) for a sep- arate belt harness are provided at the outer ends of the crotch restraint. Adjusting the Footrest Lift the footrest and engage the bar in the required strut. Caution: There is a red safety hook at the footrest. When the footrest is horizontal this hook must be pushed onto the adjusting bar. Using the Reclined Surface Extension (available as an accessory) As required, the washable reclined surface extension can be attached to the foot end of the buggy seat with Velcro strips. At the Delta carrycot it can be fastened to the head end as a hood. Front Safety Bar Insert the front safety bar in the slots in the armrests so that it engages (“clicks”) on both sides. Depending on space requirements, the front safety bar can be in- serted in two different posi- tions. To remove the front safety bar press the release hook 1 beneath the armrest to the rear. WHEEL INFORMATION ATTENTION: For safety-relevant reasons only the tested and approved combinations may be used. The possible types of wheels for the respective model are shown in the table below. CAUTION: The wheels, starting from the collection 2004, may not be used with products of previous years, as also the previous years wheels may not be used with the products of the collection 2004. In those cases the function of the parking device(s) would no longer be guaranteed. In case of doubt (re- placement) contact your special dealer. Concerning our Air Wheels we would like to point out the following:

1. The optimal travelling comfort is achieved, when the

wheel is filled with 1,5 – 2 bar (22 – 29 psi) of air pres- sure. CAUTION: Observe the maximum allowed air pres- sure written on the tyre. Excess pressure may cause accidents and injuries. 2. The air wheel is equipped with a car-tyre-valve, so that a possible air refill can take place e.g. at a petrol station. Attention: 2 bar of air pressure (or the maximum) is quickly reached. 3. In case the wheel needs repair or has to be patched, this is possible either with commercial bicycle patching things or also with a puncture spray (e.g. available for Mountain Bikes, motorbikes, etc.). The disassembly and assembly of the tyre will be best with two assembly levers, which come supplied with a good repair kit. If necessary the wheel has to be returned to us by your specialist dealer.

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 retain the handover form you filled in and signed, together with your receipt, for the duration of the statu- tory 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 de- fect. 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 majority 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 warranty.

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 proceed. This ensures that justified complaints can be dealt with quickly and without great distances having to be covered.
