ing the fun of a galloping horse, thanks to a system that moves the legs of the toy horse. The toy is intended for use for children from 18 months up to approximately 5 years of age. Chicco RODEO allows you to select between the ROCKING and RIDING play modes. The first operation that should be carried out is the fitting of the batteries as indicated below:

• Assemble the head, placing it on top of the body and tightening the 4 screws supplied. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly and safely into position. Diag. 2

• Place the “foulard”, as shown in the diagram, and lock it in position with the clip. Diagrams 3,4,5, 5a

• Join the front part to the rear part of each rocking base. Insert the Chicco brand into the central hous

ing, then turn the assembled rocking bases over to tighten the 2 screws into their housings, as shown in the diagram. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly and safely into position.

• Join the two rocking bases with the front and rear locking devices (diag. 5a). Each locking device must be fitted correctly into the rocking bases. Always check that the frame is assembled and fitted cor

rectly into the four locking points.

• The system connected to the handle allows you to adjust the strength with which the horse moves12

forward while “galloping”, based on the child’s weight. In position 1 (approximate weight of the child: up to 13kg), the system adjusts the movement of the horse with respect to the average strength of a push by a child, during that age. Positions 2 and 3 follow the phases of the child’s growth, and there

fore adjust the movement of the horse on the basis of the child’s strength. HANDLE POSITIONS

• POSITION 1: For children of up to 13kg (28 lbs) of weight.

• POSITION 2: For children from 13kg up to 16kg (28 up to 35 lbs) of weight.

• POSITION 3: For children of over 16kg (35 lbs) of weight.

• The weights indicated above are only provided for reasons of reference and are therefore only a guide. Re- gardless of the position of the handle and of the child’s age or weight, the toy will always be safe to use.

• LOCK POSITION: This position should be used when the horse is in the rocking mode or when the child wishes to use it only as a classic riding toy (that is, when the child wishes to move the toy for

• When the toy is in the “ROCKING” mode, turn the central handle to the “lock” position. Place the horse onto the rocking bases, ensuring that the joints of the wheel correspond with the upper hous

ings of the rocking bases. Press each of the 4 wheels, until a click is heard, indicating that the wheel is correctly locked into position. Ensure that each wheel is safely locked into position to avoid that the toy may overturn. Diag. 8

• When the toy is in the “RIDING” mode, remove the rocking bases exercising some pressure, and then turn the central handle to the desired position of use (see diag. 6). CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Handle the toy with care and protect it from heat, dust, sand, humidity and water.

• When replacing damaged or worn components, only use original spare parts.

• Long exposure to sunrays could cause the fading of the plastic parts of the toy. This is normal and does not jeopardise the safety of the product. Made in Romania12
