NOTICE YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND ALL IMPORTANT NOTICES ON THE STROLLER/BABY BUGGY IN THESE PLACES! MAINTENANCE SYMBOLS ARE ON EACH SEPARATE COMPONENT. THE NAMEPLATE OF THE STROLLER IS LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR WHEEL AXLE!
1. Assembly and disassembly of the stroller/baby buggy The stroller uses quick-acting components so both its assembly and disassembly can be performed in a few dozens of seconds. 1.1 Rear axle The rear wheels are fixed using quick-acting half-axles. By pressing the cap on one end of the axle the lock on the opposite side is released and the axle can be slid in/out the rear wheel hub.
Page 11
Insert the assembly fully into the block, release the cap and make sure that the wheel is secured in the block safely. Figure 7 Use the same procedure to install the other rear axle wheel. Both rear wheels are fully interchangeable; if you have a cyclocomputer installed, the wheel with the magnet must be installed on the left-hand side (when looking from the back).
Page 12
1.1.2 Disassembly is to be performed in reversed order; A – grasp the rear wheel at the central hub, B – press the half-axle cap and C – fully release the wheel by pulling. Figure 9 For the subsequent transport, both dismantled rear wheels can be jointed together using one half-axle; keep the other half-axle carefully not to lose it, preferably in one of the storage bags on the stroller/baby buggy.
1.2 Front axle The front wheels with forks are fixed to the stroller/baby buggy with quick-acting clamps. Loosen the lever to unlock the clamp, tighten it to lock the clamp; locking can be regulated by tightening or loosening the nut on the opposite end of the bolt.

Turn the extension in the hole so that the pin (protruding dowel screw, Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, point 2) engages in the recess in the front axle block and fully slide the extension in the block. Figure 13 Figure 14 Turn both horizontal clamps to the appropriate position so that the levers do not collide with the levers of vertical clamps.
To loosen the wheel it is also necessary to loosen the nut on the opposite side of the axle by a few turns. The wheel can then be removed from the fork. The place for storing this wheel with fork is in the rear pocket of the rear bag on the stroller/baby buggy.

The 14” front wheel can be fixed in the following range: Figure 19 – stroller seat tilt: 1 – sitting position; 2 – lying position The alignment of the rear axle must be adapted to the set tilt of the stroller/baby buggy to compensate for the possible toe-in or toe-out of the rear wheels.

Turn the block with the brake on the rear axle in such a way that the bubble in the built-in spirit level is between the marks. The spirit level is on the top of the block behind the brake carrier and is best accessible when looking from the back of the stroller/baby buggy.
3. Brake adjustment Both drum brakes are operated simultaneously with one double brake lever; its locking pin enables you to use the brake also as a parking brake. The brake lever is located on the handle of the stroller/baby buggy. Adjustment of the same effect of both brakes is very important to maintain the straight travel direction of the stroller/baby buggy when braking.
Figure 26: A – parking brake deactivated; B – parking brake activated NOTICE When you stop the stroller in traffic, always ensure that it is braked correctly! Especially when there are passengers in it and you leave the stroller without direct attendance and without the strap fixed on your wrist.

However, it does not fully substitute the waterproof function and it is not water-impermeable in a longer stay in rain. 9.2.3.
9.3 Rear bag The rear bag serves for transport of components of the stroller (14” front wheel with fork, waterproof, mosquito net, windstopper, 6” front wheel, and others). The rear pocket of the bag is used for wheels and other “dirty” components. Use the front part of the bag for other accessories and personal items.

Overloading the bag could cause a turnover of the stroller/baby buggy and an injury. 9.4. Safety hand strap transportovaných pasažérů.
