SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Warnings! Protective equipment should be worn. Not to be used in traffic. 20 kg
max.
• Please ensure that your child uses the product only in suitable play areas. The
selected surface of application should be smooth, clean, dry and as far as possi-
ble free of other traffic participants. Do not permit your child to ride at dusk, at
night or under poor visible conditions. In order not to endanger your child and
others, you should not permit your child to ride on roads and in passages, as well
as on slopes and hills. You should further also not permit your child to ride on
stairs and open waters.
• Your child should not use the product on sensitive surfaces. Cover such surfaces
where expedient with old carpets.
• This toy has to be used with caution since the use of the product requires speci-
fic skills and knowledge to be able to avoid injury to the user and third parties
through a crash or collision. Please ensure that your child disposes over the ne-
cessary skills / knowledge. Instruct your child to always be alert and to ride ca-
refully. Always supervise your child when using the product! For use only under
adult supervision.
• Please ensure that your child wears the appropriate protective clothing (helmet,
hand- / wrist-, elbow- and knee pads). We recommend the use of reflective ma-
terials, so that your child is well seen even under poor visible conditions. We
point out; however, that even wearing complete protective equipment can not
provide 100% protection.
• Please note that the weight of your child must not exceed the permissible user
weight in the section "Technical Specifications".
• You should always ensure before handing over the product to your child for use
that all the parts are still properly secured and the product functions as intended.
You should ensure that all fasteners or else fastening parts are firmly secure.
• In the event of continuous use, the stopper break can heat up! Please ensure that
it is not touched by your child before it has cooled down.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
SIZE ADJUSTMENT (FIGURE 1 – 3)
1. Open all closure systems.
2. Hold the skate firmly at the front on the toe clap and press the lever at the back of
the skate down.
3. Turn the lever. Turning the lever clockwise will reduce the size. A larger shoe size
can be selected through a counter-clockwise turn. The set size can be read off the
side of the article.
4. Once the desired size is reached, push the lever back up. Please thereby ensure
that the push-lock snaps.
5. Proceed likewise with the second skate.
6. Check before use that all closure systems are suitably adjusted and closed. They
should be set so that the shoes fit snugly without impairing the blood circulation.
RIDE TECHNIQUE
Please ensure that your child does not ride too fast. At too high a speed novice ri-
ders can in particular no longer control the skates. Instruct your child in the riding
technique, for example on how to glide, curve riding and especially on how to brake.
TIPS
1. Your child should try out some important skills in order to get accustomed initi-
ally on an old carpet, before you permit the child to ride on asphalt. Instruct your
child that it should stand at about a hand length parallel and upright on the
skates. The body weight should thereby be shifted on to the balls of the foot. A
more common error among novices is that when standing upright they tend to
keep the knees stiff and shift their weight on to the heels. Provide your child with
assistance so that it attains the right posture.
2. Once your child has mastered the first riding techniques, you can then permit it
to practice further on clean, level asphalt. Please ensure that your child does not
ride on steep slopes, roads with traffic and difficult underground.
All images are examples of the design.
3. Every beginning is difficult and the most accidents happen to "Novices" within the
first ten minutes. You should pay special attention to your child during this phase.
THE BRAKING TECHNOLOGY
Explain the brakes to your child. In order to stop, your child can simply let the skates
slow down to a stop. A more controlled slow down is however achieved by braking
with the rear-mounted stoppers on both shoes that generate a braking effect
through slipping. Encourage your child to practice the use of the brakes. In order to
slip the tip of the foot has to slightly be lifted up, so that the stopper touches the
ground at the back. The more pressure is exercised, the faster the speed decreases.
Full stops should be avoided, since a controlled ride can then often no longer be
ensured. You should therefore instruct your child to always ride with foresight.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Use a dry or damp cloth only to clean the product; do not use special cleaning
agents! Check the product for damage or traces of wear and tear before and after
each use. Do not make any structural changes. For your own safety, please use
original spare parts only. These can be sourced from HUDORA. If parts become
damaged or if sharp edges or corners should develop, the product may not be used
any more. If in any doubt, please contact our service team (http://www.hudora.de/).
Store the product in a safe place where it is protected from the elements, cannot be
damaged, and cannot injure anyone.
Wear and tear necessitates regular service and maintenance. Worn stoppers, rol-
lers or bearings are easy to replace. You are not permitted to perform any changes
on the roller skates that may impair safety. The self-locking effect of self-locking
nuts or else axes may subside due to the repeated loosening and tightening of the
fasteners. You should remove edges that result from the use as soon as possible.
Regular service and maintenance increases the reliability and service life of the
roller skates.
ROLLER CHANGE
Rollers are available as an accessory. Note that the bearings on the old rollers have
to be removed and inserted into the new rollers. In order to change the rollers, you
have to loosen the screws, remove the old rollers and insert the new rollers (either
provided with new ball bearings or with their old ball bearings) on the axle and tigh-
ten the screws. When removing the rear rollers it has to be ensured that the spacer
is in each case also removed and later accordingly reinstall. The front rollers do not
have a spacer. We recommend for safety reasons to renew the varnish of the self-
locking nut on this occasion.
BEARING CHANGE
Your roller skates are equipped with ball-bearings that were in the course of the
production filled with grease under high pressure conditions. For this reason they
only roll easier and faster when subjected to a load. Since this involves a closed
system, the bearings do not have to be re-lubricated.
Ball bearings should be cleaned as needed with a dry cloth. In the event that the ball
bearing on a roller skate has become wet or damp when riding, it is necessarily that
it is wiped dry with a cloth. Worn bearings have to be replaced. Loosen the roller
from the chassis. You should now use a screwdriver to remove the ball bearing.
After the cleaning process, or the replacement of the ball bearing, press the ball
bearing firmly in the roller.
STOPPER CHANGE OR ELSE ADJUSTMENTS
The stoppers wear out over time. In the event that stopper is quite worn out, loosen
the stopper block with a Phillips screwdriver from the chassis. Reinsert the new
stopper back properly. The clearance between the lower edge of the stopper and the
ride surface has to amount to more 10 mm. Repairs or adjustments on the roller
skates, have to be performed by an adult.
DISPOSAL ADVICE
At the end of the product's life, please dispose of it at an appropriate collection point
provided in your area. Local waste management companies will be able to answer
your questions on this.
