Checking 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 clothes­brush 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 °C. Let's say you have
encountered 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'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 4­weeks
interval. Before oiling the wheels and push­in 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 touch­up 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 personal 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.
