Adjusting the footrest
By pressing the two red safety buttons 15 at the same time, the footrest can be lowered. When lifting it, adjust-
ment of positions is effected automatically. The footrest can be lengthened. To do this, pull the two red pins 16
and turn the footrest by 180°.
WARNING!
In case the carrycot is attached to the frame, the footrest should always be in horizontal
position, as an additional protection preventing it from slipping out.
Secure the carrycot according to the operating instructions.
Automatic attachment locking
Place the seat unit on the frame in such a way that both locking handles
are sitting on top of the support studs. The latches on both sides lock
automatically as soon as you let go of the handles.
Check before use that the seat unit is securely fixed! To open the
lock, pull the red knob out slightly, then the seat unit can be removed.
The seat unit can also be turned round.
Adjusting the backrest
By raising adjustment lever 13 on the back, the seat-back can be precisely
adjusted to any incline between an upright seated position and a lying

position.
movable parts jam the baby's limbs, or fingers, etc. Finally, make sure the
backrest has reengaged properly.
Protection from falling out
WARNING:
As additional protection against falling out, fix the press-buttons 17 of the
hood to the metal frame of the backrest.
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'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 4-weeks interval.
Before oiling the wheels and push-in axles, make sure these are absolutely clean and free of sand etc., in order not to com-
promise 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 touch-up 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.
For pneumatic tires
When 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. 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". Replace worn plain wheel bearings
and springs in time. Then continue to inflate it to the proper pressure.
When adjusting the backrest, take care that no
