Section 8 - Maintenance of BabyPod 2
Follow cleaning instructions in Section 7 for general care of BabyPod 2. Special care is needed for both the carbon
fibre Outer Shell and the Vacuum Mattress as noted below:
•
Outer Shell
BabyPod 2 should be inspected at regular intervals for signs of damage to its carbon fibre Outer Shell (see Section
5.2 for step-by-step instructions). For best results, remove Infant Positioning Straps, Vacuum Mattress and Shock
Absorbent Foam and carefully inspect the inner surface of the carbon fibre shell for signs of stress, including
cracks, pockmarks or irregularities.
Discontinue use of BabyPod 2 if signs of damage are present.
BabyPod 2’s Outer surface does not affect the integrity of the carbon fibre shell. Chips or scratches to BabyPod 2’s
finished outer surface due to normal wear and tear do not affect the performance of the unit. Even with normal
use, BabyPod 2 may eventually need to be refurbished. Contact our Customer Service Department for further
information on refurbishment of BabyPod 2.
Inspect BabyPod 2’s Outer Shell for cracks and abrasions. First, inspect the inner carbon fibre surface of BabyPod 2’s
Outer Shell.
Note:
Smoothness is not a requirement. Natural irregularities in texture due to the manufacturing process are
normal.
Note: Cracks in the carbon fibre Outer Shell may not be apparent by visual inspection of the outer surface. Always
check the inside surface of the Outer Shell for accurate visual assessment.
DO NOT use any component that does not pass visual inspection.
Inspect the integrity of the carbon fibre rods inside BabyPod 2’s Outer Shell. Check the security of the attached
Infant Positioning Straps before re-inserting the Shock Absorbent Foam interior panels. Infant positioning straps
should be connected at an angle so that straps secure in a cross-wise “X” fashion over the baby’s torso.
Protect BabyPod 2 from the impact of sharp or hard objects that may cause internal damage that is not visible on
the surface of the unit.
