Care & Maintenance Instructions
Cleaning
The fabric seat, the harness pads, the luggage carrier, the transport bag, the sun-hood
and storm-cover are constructed mainly of waterproofed fabrics that can be sponged
with warm soapy water, brushed with a soft brush and/or hosed down. Rinse off any
soap with clean water.
The fabric seat, the harness pads, the luggage carrier and the transport bag can be
machine-washed at 30°C to 40°C – remove the parts of the buckles that are not
stitched on first and contain the pads in a mesh laundry bag.
DO NOT IRON OR
TUMBLE DRY.
The frame, wheels and footrest can be cleaned by sponging with warm soapy water,
brushing with a soft brush and/or hosing down. Rise with clean water and remove the
rear wheels to allow the brakes to dry.
If the buggy should be exposed to salt water wash off as soon as possible with fresh
water to reduce corrosion.
Protecting the metal parts of the brake mechanism with a water repellent agent such
as Duck Oil® is advised to prolong their life and aid cleaning
but
avoid getting this on
the brake pads or drums.
Tyres
Standard tyres should be inflated to between 20 and 30p.s.i. (1.4 and 2 bar). Beach
wheel tyres should be inflated to between 10 and 15 p.s.i. (0.7 and 1 bar approx)
.
A
car foot pump or bicycle pump with the correct adaptor (similar size to mountain
bike) can be used. A puncture protection material such as ‘Green Slime®’, available
from most cycle shops, can be used. Spare tyres and inner tubes can be purchased
from cycle shops or Delichon Limited. Puncture resistant tyres are available from
Delichon Ltd.
Adjusting the Brakes
As the brake pads wear, adjustment will be necessary. To adjust the brakes release
the lock nut on the park brake adjuster (see fig. 22) and screw the adjuster out
slightly, re-check the brakes and adjust further if needed. When satisfactory park
brake function has been attained tighten the lock nut.
