Routine Maintenance
Trouble Shooting
STORE IN A COOL AND DRY AREA,
especially in the summer. Do not store the stroller in the trunk of
a vehicle.
SEAT CUSHION
The seat cushion is machine washable. Set to gentle cycle using warm water and a mild detergent. Do
not use bleach. Lay seat cushion flat to dry in shaded area. Do not machine dry. To prevent color fad-
ing, do not leave soaking for a long period. If the seat cushion is frayed or unraveling, discontinue use
and call customer service for further instruction.
CANOPY, WAIST BELT, FIXED SEAT BASE, STROLLER PACK AND BASKET
Hand wash with brush. Wipe out excess water with a dry cloth and dry in a shaded area. For stubborn
dirt, dilute a mild detergent and apply directly to the dirty area. Wipe out the detergent.
MAIN BODY
Briskly wipe off any mud and dirt. To clean the body, wipe with a damp cloth then wipe out any traces
of moisture on the body with a dry cloth. The main body might become moldy and musty if not wiped
dry. Excessive exposure to the sun could cause premature color fading of stroller plastic and fabric.
SWIVEL WHEELS
After prolonged normal use, the wheels of your stroller may not swivel as easily as when the stroller
was new. This is usually due to a buildup of dirt in the swivel mechanism. Before adding lubrication,
test the swivel action to determine whether lubrication is necessary. Using compressed air* aimed
at point
(a)
and
(b)
, blow dirt from the swivel mechanisms.
Do not use soap and water to wash
wheels.
Periodically check that all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
ADDING LUBRICANT
Avoid lubricating the swivel wheels whenever possible. Excessive lubri-
cation or adding lubricant to swivel wheels when new may cause them
to develop a shimmy or wobble that may quicken their deterioration.
Add a small amount of lubricant (silicone*) to
the swivel shaft
.
Do not use lubricants because oil attracts dust and would hinder
the movement rather than improve it.
*Compressed air and silicone spray are available in varying size cans at most hardware
stores.
STROLLER WILL NOT FOLD
- Check to see that the waist belt is not caught in the side.
- Make sure front swivels are locked.
- Remove all items from the basket.
- Make sure the seat back is in the upright position.
- Remove your player from back pocket of the canopy.
DIFFICULT TO STEER/STROLLER PULLS TO ONE SIDE
- Remove any items hanging from the handle.
- Make sure weight in basket is distributed evenly.
- Check that the brakes are not in the locked position.
- Clean wheels and lubricate if necessary.
DIFFICULT TO GET UP CURBS
- Pulling stroller backward makes going
up a curb difficult, and could pose a safety hazard.
Pull the handle up to lift the rear wheels
onto the curb, then pull the stroller backward
until the front wheels clear.
