Safety Instructions

Before using the Kimba Spring, you should become familiar with the handling, function and use of the product.
• The product may be used only on solid level ground.
• Use your Kimba Spring properly. For instance, do not drive into obstacles (including steps, curbs) without braking.
• For clearing obstacles such as steps and curbs, tilt the Kimba Spring onto the rear wheels (to ascend, pull the
Kimba Spring backwards; to descend, slowly lower the Kimba Spring forward).
• Stairs should be ascended/descended only with assistance from an attendant. If devices such as ramps or elevators
are available, they should be used. If such devices are missing, two attendants must carry the Kimba Spring over the
obstacle.
• Pay particular attention when on slopes and inclines to prevent
- the child from falling out of the Kimba Spring;
- the Kimba Spring from tipping over;
- the Kimba Spring from rolling away.
