Afterwards, perform the steps described in the following according to the design of the stroller’s wheels.

Activating and Releasing the Parking Brake The parking brake is activated by stepping on the foot lever (9). Afterwards, push the stroller a few centimeters forward to ensure that the brake is engaged. Check whether the brake is engaged – the back wheels of the stroller must be blocked.

Use the sliding buckles (15) to shorten or lengthen the belt, if required. 3. Push the tongues to open the belt and put your child in the stroller. Make sure that the crotch strap (16) is looped around the lower eyelet on the centerpiece of the belt (18) and that it is secured with the push button that is attached to the centerpiece of the belt.

Removing and Mounting the Back Wheels Depending on the design you have chosen, the back wheels of your stroller are removed and mounted as described in the following. WARNING! Verify the secure hold of the wheels after you mount them. WARNING! To ensure that the wheels run normally, they need to exhibit an axle clearance.

Adjusting the Fixation of the Roof In order to adjust the fixation of the roof, tighten the screw at the fixation of the star-shaped rotary knob with a screwdriver. Turn the star-shaped rotary knobs (19) in clockwise direction on both sides while holding the screw tight to increase the fixation of the roof (roof adjustment becomes harder).
Part II Care Fabric Parts All cotton fabrics come from controlled organic cultivation and are dyed on a natural basis. This natural fiber is more sensitive than synthetic fiber and is therefore quicker to bleach. Please be sure to observe the following care instructions for the fabrics. Otherwise, the virgin sheep’s wool that is used as filling material may become felted, exit the material or become unevenly distributed.
Part III Maintenance General Information Please perform the following maintenance work at least once a month: • Clean and grease the axle. • Check the wheel sockets and the fixed plates. Exchange them, if necessary. • Tighten the self-locking screws. Exchange them (for instance – but not exclusively – if the top no longer maintains the adjusted position), if necessary.
3. Oil the brake springs and the pivot bolt by spraying oil in the opening for the brake line at both rear suspensions. 4. Spray oil in both brake lines at the brake pedal. Make sure that the brake cables are not bent and that they function properly.

• Wool and material are matched with one another, so that the wool hardly penetrates the material under normal use. However, it is natural for wool fibers to penetrate the material under normal use, due to mechanical wear. You can simply remove these fibers with a clothes brush.
