Utilisation
Utilisation
Setting the wheel so that it turns freely (Buggy mode)
It must be possible for the wheel to move freely through 360° in order to manoeuvre in Buggy
mode.
f
Push up the mode switch to release the wheel.
Securing the wheel (Walker mode)
In Walker mode, the wheel must not be at an angle to the direction of travel. You must lock the
wheel to run straight ahead in order to prevent abrupt blocking.
f
Push down the mode switch to make sure the wheel is running straight.
f
Turn the positioned wheel backwards until it engages audibly.
Insert tow bar
The tow bar can either be brought forward into the attachment position or carried along
backwards in the standby position: Pay attention also to the instructions in the chapter
“Mounting the tow bar” on page 17
.
Danger!
Wrap the retaining strap of the tow bar around the tow bar several times to ensure it
does not hang down in the standby position. Otherwise it could become trapped on
obstacles.
Using the pennant
The pennant must be attached in Trailer mode, see
“Inserting the pennant” on page 16
.
For safety reasons, we also recommend this for the other modes.
Folding up the push handle
In Trailer mode, you should always fold the push handle into its highest position so that it can
provide maximum safety as a roll-bar, see
“Adjusting the push handle” on page 20
.
Attaching the hand strap
In Buggy and Walker mode, the hand strap secured to the push handle must be attached to your
wrist during every journey.
Putting on the 5-point safety harness
In every mode, the 5-point safety harnesses must be properly adjusted and every child must be
fastened in, see
“Adjusting the safety harnesses (Sportrex2)” on page 23
.
Securing the load
Loading the baggage
Loading the storage space
f
Undo the Velcro fasteners of the storage space cover and lift it.
f
Pack larger items such as bags, toys or coats in the storage space.
f
Close the cover carefully.
Filling the pouch for small items
f
Put those utensils into the pouch for small items which you want to have readily to hand while
you are on the road.
f
If necessary, open the top toggle fasteners and unroll the rain cover.
f
Fix the rain cover using the toggle fasteners on the side and underneath.
Using the pouch for small items
f
Put the children’s drinking bottles or toys into the pouch for small items in the cabin’s foot
space.
Danger!
When loading, pay attention to the total permissible weight and the weight limits for
the storage space, see
“Performance limits” on page 4
.
Adjusting the safety harnesses (Sportrex2)
To achieve optimum load distribution, it is important for the load’s centre of gravity to be
approximately in the middle of the cabin. In the as-delivered state, the 5-point safety harnesses
are pre-adjusted for carrying two children. If you only want to carry one child, you must adjust the
safety harnesses so that the child can sit in the middle.
Tip!
The optionally available accessories such as the baby seat, comfort insert etc. enable
you to optimally adapt the
Sportrex
to suit the age and size of your children, see
“Accessories” on page 12
.
f
Undo the upper fastener of the two inner harnesses.
f
Change round their pads and tongues:
–
Push the pad and the tongue of the inner left
harness onto the right harness.
–
Push the pad and the tongue of the inner right
harness onto the left harness.
f
Put the harness catch, including the pad, onto the
centre harness on the front of the seat. Use the
harness catch of the left or right seat to do this.
f
Repeat this procedure in reverse order whenever you
require the safety harnesses for carrying two children.
