IMPORTANT:
Always check that BOTH frame locks are fully closed before using the frame. If they
are not properly engaged, the frame could collapse during use.
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.
We recommend always using solid footwear
when operating the brake. 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 and help
prevent tipping.
Do not operate the brake when the pushchair is moving. The brake is not designed
to slow the pushchair down or stop a moving pushchair; such use may damage the
brake.
