4.2A Original Brakes (pushchairs supplied before June 2015)
Fig 4.2.1
To apply the brake, put your foot on the top
of brake bar (labelled X) and push down as
shown. The brake will flip down onto the
wheels and lock them.
To release the brake, hook your foot
between the middle raised portion of the
brake bar, and the frame cross bar. Then,
lift the brake bar with your foot until it flips
back and stops against the brake stop pins.
Please note you may find it easier to use
your hand to release the brake. If operating
the brake by hand always hold the brake by
the raised section in the middle of the bar.
Important:
Always put the brake on when placing the
child in, or taking them out of the pushchair.
Do not leave the brake on when the
pushchair is not in use as this will damage
the rear wheels.
Fig 4.2.2
WARNING:
The brake mechanism is spring loaded so care must be taken when operating it.
When operating the brake mechanism ensure that you always keep a firm hold of
the pushchair, keeping your hands well away from the brake mechanism.
Do not leave the pushchair on a slope, even with the brake on. Always ensure that
the pushchair is on level ground to prevent risk of injury to the occupant.
4.2B Pin Brake (pushchairs supplied after June 2015)
Fig 4.2.3
Snappi Pushchairs supplied after June 2015
will be fitted with the new Pin Brake
mechanism.
To set the pin brake, first securely hold the
push handle. Place your foot on the top of
the push bar as shown (see Fig 4.2.3, left)
then press the bar down as far as it will go.
If the brake is stiff, try rolling the pushchair
forward slightly to help line up the pins with
the locking rings on the wheels.
