Maintenance
Lubricate the moving parts only if necessary, with a light
application of a silicone based lubricant. Regularly check the
condition of the wheels and, keep them clean of dust and sand.
To avoid friction that may prevent the correct operation of the
stroller, ensure that all the movable plastic parts placed along
the metal frame are clean of dust, dirt or sand. Keep the stroller
in a dry place.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE FRONT WHEELS

1. Fit the front wheel unit to the stroller and lock it into posi-
tion (see diag. 1). A "click" will be heard indicating that the
front wheel unit is fitted correctly into position. Repeat this
operation with the other wheel unit.
WARNING: Before use, ensure that the wheel units are safely
locked into position.

HOW TO OPEN THE STROLLER

WARNING: When opening the stroller, ensure that your child,
or other children, are at a safe distance. Ensure that during
these operations the movable parts of the stroller do not come
into contact with your child.
2. Release the closing device and push the front part of the
stroller forward (diag. 2).
3. Push the rear locking mechanism downward with your foot
(diag. 3).
Ensure that the stroller is correctly locked in the open position.
WARNING: Before use, ensure that the stroller is locked in the
open position, by checking that the locking mechanism, at the
rear of the stroller, is effectively secured.

MOUNTING THE REAR WHEELS

4. As shown in figure 4, insert pin A in the wheel. Insert the pin
together with the wheel in the hole located at the lower
end of the rear leg tube. Then insert the second wheel and
washer B. Secure everything using clip C (fig. 4A). Cover
both wheels with wheel cover D. Repeat the procedure on
the other side.
HOW TO USE THE SAFETY HARNESS
This stroller has a 5-point safety harness that features two
shoulder straps, two adjustment holes, a waist strap and a
crotch strap with buckle
WARNING: When using the safety harness with children from
birth up to approximately 6 months of age, it is necessary to fit
the shoulder straps. Carry out this operation by inserting them
first through the two adjustment holes.
5. If necessary, adjust the height of the shoulder straps, in-
serting them into the adjustment hole, as shown in dia-
gram 5. After sitting your child in the stroller, fasten the
safety harness, first inserting the two prongs into the
hole located on the shoulder straps (diag. 5A and 5B) and
then into the buckle of the crotch strap (diag. 5C). Adjust
the length of the straps, ensuring that they adhere to the
child's shoulders and body correctly. To unfasten the waist
strap, press and pull the side prongs.
WARNING: Children should be harnessed in at all times. To en-
sure your child's safety, it is necessary to always use the safety
harness.
For extra safety, "D" rings are provided for the attachment of a
separate safety harness approved to BS6684. They are located
inside the seat on the left and right, see diagram 5D above.

HOW TO ADJUST THE BACKREST

The backrest can be adjusted to various positions.
6. To adjust the inclination of the backrest, press the button
located on the backrest. Release the button to lock the
backrest in the nearest position (diag. 6).
7. To raise the backrest to the desired position, simply push it
in an upward direction (diag. 7).
8. For maximum comfort, fasten the two side fabric flaps to
the rear tube with the press studs, as shown in diagram 8.
WARNING: The child's weight can make these operations dif-
ficult.
ADJUSTING THE LEG REST
The stroller's leg rest can be adjusted to two positions to offer
extra comfort to your child.
9. Press simultaneously the two side buttons, as shown in
diagram 9, to adjust the leg rest to the desired position.
REAR BRAKES
The rear wheels have linked brakes, which can be applied simul-
taneously to the two double rear wheels by using only one pedal.
10. To apply the brakes, push one of the two levers located at
the centre of the rear wheels in a downward direction, as
shown in diagram 10.
11. To unlock the braking system, push one of the two levers
located at the centre of the rear wheels in an upward direc-
tion, as shown in diagram 11.
WARNING: Always apply the brakes whenever the stroller is
stationary. Never leave your child unattended.
WARNING: Never leave the stroller on a sloped surface, with a
child onboard, even with the brakes applied.
WARNING: After operating the brake lever, ensure that the
brakes have been correctly applied to all the rear wheel units.
SWIVEL WHEELS

12. To unlock the swivel wheels, lower the lever located between
the two wheels. Use the swivel wheels on smooth surfaces.
To lock the wheels, push the lever in an upward direction

noeuvre; on uneven surfaces it is recommended to use locked
front wheels to guarantee the safe use of the stroller (on grav-
el, unpaved roads, etc.).
WARNING: Both wheels must always be locked or unlocked
at the same time.
