Preparation for use
Before using the stroller:
o
Check the good technical condition of the stroller and all its elements, and if the technical condition of the stroller or
its single element is bad or the user has any doubts about it, then the stroller must not be used. Please contact the
Seller and/or the Manufacturer.
o
Check that the stroller frame has been folded out correctly and that the folding mechanism has been properly closed
(locked).
o
Check that the seat is correctly attached to the stroller frame
o
Check that all four wheels are properly installed and that the tread tires are in good condition on all four wheels.
o
Check that the central brake is working properly and apply the brake.
o
Correctly make all regulations and adjust the stroller to the child's needs, including setting the appropriate depth of
the therapeutic seat and the height of the backrest, appropriate inclination of the therapeutic seat and backrest
inclination, set the appropriate inclination of the footrest, adjust the appropriate tension of the belts on the backrest
and on the seat, check the length of the five-point belts. Check that all adjustments are properly seated and secured.
o
Check if the stroller upholstery is dry.
o
Secure the child with all available stabilizing elements, such as: five-point belts, narrowing and shallowing inserts,
abduction-stabilizing belts, wedge, footrest, footrest tapes, a safety barrier or a therapeutic table. This is to prevent
the child from falling out and sliding out of the stroller and to prevent the child's feet from falling off the footrest.
Make sure that all adjustments made earlier are suitable and safe for the child.
o
Make sure that the child is not placed in the stroller without clothing that protects the body at the points in contact
with the stroller's upholstery. This is to prevent chafing of the child's body and to keep the child's hygiene in mind.
o
In the case of children who have problems with incontinence, a special oilcloth should be placed on the stroller seat,
which can be purchased in pharmacies or medical stores.
o
In the case of using any additional aids, such as vents, drains, bags, catheters, etc., make sure that they are well
protected against falling out, pulling out, tightening and not interfering with the use of the stroller.

Using the stroller
Carrying the stroller
The best way to carry a stroller is to use it with its
wheels. The manufacturer allows the possibility of
driving the folded stroller also with the use of wheels in
the position indicated in Fig. 16.1.
In cases where this is not possible (e.g. to transport the
stroller in a car), for safety reasons, the stroller can be
lifted and moved after dismantling the additional
equipment and the rear wheels, in order to reduce the
load.
When carrying or lifting the stroller frame with mounted
wheels, extreme caution should be exercised because
