Care and maintenance

All the materials we use can easily be cared for.
Care of the fabric parts
Clean soiled fabrics when dry using a clothes-brush or lukewarm water (then
use hair dryer). Do not rub fabrics extensively. Remove tenacious stains
using a soft detergent. All removable fabric parts may be machine washed in
lukewarm water at a gentle setting and reduced agitation, at 30 °C. Let's say
you have encountered a heavy rain shower. Dry your carriage with the hood
still on in a dry and airy room using a cloth. This prevents marking as well as
the underlining fabrics from moist soaking in through the seams. As a gua-
ranteed protection against rain, we recommend that you use our rain cover,
which is either included or can be purchased at your dealer's. Our fabrics
have quite a number of distinctive features. However, they are very sensiti-
ve to excessive sunlight. That's why you should park your carriage in the
shade whenever possible.
Care of the chassis
The chassis requires regular care. You should clean and slightly lubricate the
wheel axles at a regular 4-weeks interval. Use a silicone based lubricant
spray for all moving plastic parts to maintain them in an operative condition.
Keep all coated and chrome-plated metal parts in dry condition, and use a
finish restorer or chrome paste if necessary. Remove smaller chassis paint
damages by means of a touch-up applicator. Wheels: When using pneuma-
tic wheels, make sure they have got enough air in the tire. Specified tire infla-
tion pressure should be between 1.2 and 1.5bar max. WARNING! Max. tire
pressure will be reached quickly. Overpressure may result in accidents and
personal injuries. Replace worn plain wheel bearings and springs in time.
Whenever possible, do not park carriages using pneumatic tired wheels for
a longer period of time on light PVC or linoleum as rubber tires may rub off
on the floor covering. Little stones in the thread, etc. may just as well dama-
ge the floor covering. When parking the carriage in the blazing sun or cram-
ming it in the boot at temperatures of above 40°C, the semi pneumatic tires
may flatten or become deformed.
Tire air loss
Tires tend to lose air over time. When blowing up a flat tire, inflate it only half-
way first, and make sure the tire is evenly seated, to avoid "wobble". Then
continue to inflate it to the proper pressure.
