WARNING: Always apply the brakes whenever the stroller is

WARNING: Never leave the stroller on a sloped surface, with a
child on board, even with the brakes applied.
SLOWING DOWN BRAKE
WARNING: The intended use of the slowing down brake is to slow
down the speed of the stroller. Never use the slowing down brake
as a safety brake.
22. To slow down the speed of the stroller, operate the brake lever
located on the handle (diagram 22).
FRONT SWIVEL WHEEL
The stroller has a fixed/swivel front wheel.
It is recommended to use the fix wheel when using the stroller
on particularly uneven surfaces. The use of the swivel wheel is
recommended to increase the manoeuvrability of the stroller.
23. To use the front wheel in the swivel mode, push the front lever
in a downward direction with your foot, as shown in diagram 23.
To use the front wheel in the fixed mode, lift the lever with the
foot: the wheel will lock in the straight position independently of
its position.
ADJUSTABLE REAR SUSPENSION
The stroller has an adjustable rear suspension.
24. To adjust the suspension, operate the lever indicated in diag. 24.
By moving the lever inward, the suspension becomes softer (ideal
for use with young children), while by moving the lever outward,
the suspension becomes harder (ideal for older children).
Both suspension units must be adjusted to the same setting when
in use.
