Maintenance intervals
Caution!
Replace corroded steel and aluminium parts immediately.
Never bend back deformed or bent aluminium parts (risk of breakage). Replace bent
aluminium parts immediately.
Immediately replace plastic parts that have become porous or fragile due to the
effects of the weather, for example.
Before every ride
Check that the wheels are secure. The push-in axles must be engaged in the axle mount and it
must not be possible to pull them off without pressing the rubber cap.
Check the air pressure in the wheels. It should be in the range of 2.75 – 4.5 bar.
Check the air pressure of the buggy wheel (maximum air pressure: 2 bar).
Check the total weight, including children and baggage.
Check the fasteners of the cover and close them if necessary.
Inspect all harnesses on the back and under the cabin to make sure that they are secure. They
must be firmly tightened to hold the cover and backrest securely.
Trailer mode: Make sure that the buggy wheel has been removed and that the requirements
described in the chapter
“Connecting the trailer to a bicycle” on page 26
have been fulfilled.
Buggy mode: Make sure that the buggy wheel can rotate freely. Put the hand strap of the push
handle around your wrist in order to prevent accidental rolling away.
Walker mode: Make sure that the buggy wheel is secured facing straight ahead. Put the hand
strap of the push handle around your wrist in order to prevent accidental rolling away.
Check whether the tow bar, coupler and buggy wheel and their attachments are technically
OK.
Check that all screw and cotter pin connections are secure.
Check the condition of the wheels. Replace covers and hoses in good time.
Monthly (or every 200 km)
Check the textile cover, all fasteners, the seats and the safety harnesses for cracks, wear and
missing parts.
Inspect all frame tubes and all connecting pieces and fastening components for signs of wear
and damage.
Semi-annually (or every 500 km)
Care for all sliding and moving parts with silicone spray.
Clean the inside and outside of the cabin thoroughly.
Every three years (or every 3000 km)
Have a full inspection carried out by a specialist workshop no later than every three years.
Care and maintenance
Care and maintenance
Regular care and maintenance of all parts and components helps prevent premature wear and
keeps the
Sportrex
ready for use at all times. This is particularly important when one of the
following influencing factors applies to your individual conditions of use:
Frequent use with high mileage
Regular use close to the maximum permitted total weight
A sporty riding style (sudden starting and braking, cornering at speed etc.)
Excessive weather influences such as UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, moisture, contact
with salt (sea water, salty air, road salt)
Unfavourable storage conditions (lack of space, temperature fluctuations, sunlight)
Caution!
It is essential to adhere to the following care instructions and maintenance intervals.
Perform the tests stated in the checklists conscientiously and at the specified times in
order to use the
Sportrex
in a technically safe condition.
Replace damaged components immediately, see
“Spare parts” on page 34
. If
necessary, contact our service department or your local specialist dealer, see
“Support
information” on page 33
.
Care
Caution!
For cleaning, use only water and domestic care agents such as detergents and textile
care products, soft cloths or impregnation and silicone spray. Do not use any sharp-
edged tools or cleaning agents with a scouring effect. Cleaning agents containing acids
and solvents are also not permitted.
After every use
Clean the inside of the cabin.
Pay attention to coarse dirt and remove it immediately if possible.
After use in harsh weather conditions
Clean the inside and outside of the cabin thoroughly.
Care for all sliding or moving parts with silicone spray.
Only fold up the cabin after it has been cleaned and is completely dry.
When not in use
Store the
Sportrex
only in places where the storage temperature falls within the range of -23 °C
to maximum 65 °C.
The storage location should be dry, well ventilated and protected against direct sunlight.
At higher storage temperatures, you should store the wheels separately from the cabin
because the tyres’ rubber can cause odours.
Use a Qeridoo folding garage if the
Sportrex
must be kept outdoors, see
“Accessories” on
page 12
.
