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 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
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
chrome­plated 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 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.
