Care and maintenance
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 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. 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 an regular 4-weeks interval. Use a silicone based l
ubricant spray for all moving plastic parts. 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.
Wheels: Using pneumatic wheels, make sure they have got enough air in
the tire. Specified tire inflation pressure should be between 1.2 and 1.5bar
max.
WARNING! Max. tire pressure will be reached quickly.
Overpressure may result in accidents and personal injuries. Replace
worn wheel bushes and springs in time. Whenever possible, do not park
carriages using pneumatic tired wheels for a longer period of time on
light PVC or linoleum as rubber tires may rub off on the floor covering.
Tire air loss
Tires tend to lose air over time. When blowing up a flat tire, inflate it
only halfway first, and make sure the tire is evenly seated, to avoid
“wobble”. Then continue to inflate it to the proper pressure.
