WARNING:
• Do NOT carry the car seat by harness adjuster strap. This can
damage the mechanism and the webbing.
• Do NOT use the car seat if release levers or locking bolts bind or
do not move freely. When release levers are lifted, release levers
and locking bolts should spring back immediately.
• Do NOT oil or lubricate any part of car seat.
• Always confirm car seat is locked securely in its unfolded position
before each use.
• To avoid risk of injury, keep others at a safe distance during
folding and unfolding.
• Familiarize yourself with car seat unfolding and folding operations
prior to use.
• Foreign objects and debris can interfere with proper operation of
locking mechanism. Before installation, confirm both locking bolt
and release lever areas are free of any debris (
See pages 54-57 for
cleaning of mechanisms
).
