BUCKLE OPERATION
To ensure the buckle remains operational the inside of the buckle must be kept free of liquids, sand,
dirt, fluff, food or similar substances. If the buckle is not operating or you do not hear a strong audible
click when second tongue is inserted then the buckle needs to be washed or replaced. Contact Customer
Service for assistance.
TO CLEAN HARNESS BUCKLE:
If sticky liquids such as baby formula, fruit juice, etc. get inside your
harness buckle, it may become sluggish. An indication of a sluggish
harness buckle is that you cannot hear a click when engaging the
harness tongues. To restore the harness buckle to good working
order it needs to be cleaned as follows:
A. Remove the harness buckle from the restraint: From the underside
of the restraint pull each crotch 3-bar slide then turn the 3-bar slide
and push through each slot.
B. Place the harness buckle under warm (max. 40 degrees Celsius)
running water as shown below. Let the water run through the
mouth of the buckle for five minutes. Check the harness buckle is
clean by engaging the harness tongues and buckle several times
until you hear a click.
C. If you still cannot hear a strong audible click then repeat the
cleaning process several times.
D. Refit the harness buckle to the restraint ensuring the red button
facing outwards and the 3-bar slide is fed through the same slots.
If the harness buckle cannot be returned to its original
working condition then contact BRITAX Customer Service for
assistance.
