Tips for maintaining
your pram.
Excessive wear can reduce the effectiveness and
safety of your pram. To keep your ROVER in good
working condition and ensure that it lasts as long as
possible will require regular maintenance and you will
need to service your pram every 6 months.
Regular maintenance
should include:
Inspecting the locking devices, levers,
joints, buttons, brakes, wheels, safety
harness and fixtures to ensure they are
secure, moving freely and in fully
working order.
If any parts of the pram have become
stiff, difficult to operate or begin to
squeak, first ensure that dirt is not the
cause. Then try a light application of a
sprayable silicone lubricant, ensuring
that it penetrates between the
components. (Note: Only use lubricant
labeled ‘Silicone Lubricant’, other
lubricants can deteriorate the plastic
parts of your pram and also attract dirt
and dust e.g. DO NOT use standard
WD40). We recommend WD-40
SPECIALIST Silicon Lubricant or SCA
Silicone Spray available from
Supercheap Auto, Bunnings and
most hardware stores.
Preventing rust
& mould
After exposure to wet or damp
conditions (especially trips to the
beach, snow or in the rain), leave
the pram fully open in a warm, well
ventilated environment to prevent rust
and mould. You may need to dry with
a soft, lint free cloth. Left damp it will
encourage mildew, mould or rust to
form, damaging the pram.
Correct Use
The
ROVER
has been designed for urban
living and weekend adventures which
means it’s ideal for walking on sealed
footpaths, in shopping centres, cafes
and down at your local park. Use of
the
ROVER
off-road or over uneven
terrain will clearly place more stress
on the frame and wheels and cause it
to wear out faster. For this reason we
recommend “weekend adventures”
and not regular off-road use.
Ensure children are not present when applying silicon lubricant or allowing it to dry.
Always spray outside or in a well ventilated area. Ensure you use minimal product and
wipe away excess solution before use.
