12 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper functioning of the 5-point belt buckle has a great impact on the safety of your child. The most common cause of
buckle malfunctioning is dust and dirt getting into the buckle slot. This gives the following signs:
• the belt tongue exits the buckle slot very slowly after the red button is pressed
• the belt tongue does not fix in the buckle (it slides back out)
• the belt tongue can be fastened but no ‘click’ sound can be heard
• it is necessary to put much force into closing the buckle
• it is necessary to put much force into pressing the button and releasing the tongue from the buckle
If any of the problems mentioned above occur, it is required to clean the belt buckle:
1. Unfasten the belts (press the red button on the buckle).
2. Remove the crotch pad.
3. Adjust the seat tilt into the most reclining position.
4. Thread the metal plate fixing the buckle strap through the slot in the seat shell (from the bottom upwards).
5. Put the belt buckle into warm water with addition of few drops of dishwashing liquid for at least an hour.
Rinse the buckle with clean water and leave it until it is completely dry.
