For your convenience, the Buggypod® is supplied
partly pre-assembled.
Step1. Placement of
mounting bracket
Step 2. Attaching mounting brackets
to the pushchair
The mounting brackets should be
fitted to two major frame bars on
the right hand side of the pushchair,
between 16 -37.5cm apart, and
between 35 - 43cm from the floor.
The front bracket can be fitted up to
approx. 8 cm higher than the rear
bracket if it helps achieve a good
connection. As a result, the
Buggypod® seat tilts back slightly
and you may prefer that.
WHEN TO USE MOUNTING BLOCKS:
The mounting
blocks (k) should
be used when
fitting the
mounting brackets
(e) to thin square
frames or thin
round frames less than 18mm in
diameter. They can also be
used to clear folding mechanisms.
When fitting to a square frame,
let the bracket point diagonally
to the rear or front.
If you want to make any changes
to the position of the mounting
bracket, loosen the band screw
with a screwdriver as shown.
Reposition the mounting bracket
and re-tighten. You will need to
reposition the mounting brackets
if they interfere with the braking
system or folding mechanism of
your pushchair.
See
www.buggypod.com
for photos
of fittings to particular pushchair
models.
Then turn the red button head so that
it is vertical (or perpendicular to the
connector bar (c) if front bracket is
attached higher than rear bracket).
Tighten the red button head with the
supplied allen key (h) in the hole in
the middle where shown.
Affix mounting bracket (e) pre-fitted
with the friction sleeve to pushchair
by wrapping the steel band around
the pushchair frame and feeding the
end back into the band screw
housing. You can cut the friction
sleeve to size to avoid it interfering
with the bracket sides.
The mounting brackets (e) and the
Buggypod® (b) must not interfere
with the braking system or folding
mechanism of your pushchair.
You must tighten the red button head
before using he Buggypod®
.
18mm
Tighten the band screw with a
screwdriver as shown.
Step 3. Attaching the Buggypod®
Hold the Buggypod® vertically
against the mounting brackets on
the host pushchair. (Note the
mounting bosses (g) slide loosely
along the connector bar (c) as they
are supplied un-tightened).
Take the Buggypod® (b) and fold
open the connector bar(c) by
90º(quarter turn).
The connector bar must run parallel with
the centreline of the pushchair. If the
angle of your pushchair frame prevents
this, please use the connector bar
adaptor (see page 6).
