Once you have stuck the Velcro together,
pull the back flap so that the velcroed edges
move backwards. This will help ensure that
the rain shield is straight (See Fig 6.4.11).

Important:
•
When entering any building, ensure that you undo the Velcro flap at the front of the
rain shield and fold it up so that the occupant of the pushchair does not over heat. If
it is warm inside the building we would recommend removing the rain shield
completely. Similarly if it is a hot day we would recommend that you leave this flap
open if you have to use the rain shield to prevent overheating.
•
Operating the back angle of the Snappi may affect the tension of the rain shield.
Once you have attained the desired back angle it may be necessary to adjust the
rain shield by tucking it further under the footrest or pulling down gently on the rear
flap.
•
We do not recommend that you ever leave your child unattended when using the
pushchair. Special care should be taken when the sun hood and transparent rain
shield are fitted to ensure the hood or rain shield are not too close to your child’s
face.
•
When using the sun hood to protect your child from sunlight, we would recommend
that this is used in conjunction with sun cream and appropriate clothing.
•
Always ensure that your sun hood and rain shield are dry before you fold them for
storage. Do not put either of these items near a heat source, such as fires, radiators
and hairdryers as this will damage the material. Both items can be wiped clean
using a damp cloth.
•
The sun hood and rain shield must be removed when folding the wheelbase.
•
The sun hood and rain shield must be removed when using the pushchair as a seat
in a motor vehicle.
•
The standard sun hood is made of polar fleece which is a rain repellent fabric, not a
waterproof fabric. To protect the occupant from rain you must use the transparent
rain shield in conjunction with the sun hood.
•
If you remove the screws from the hood for any reason please ensure that you
screw them back on to the hood through the hole in the fabric. Do not try to stretch
the hole over the screw as you may damage the material.
