To fold POD:

Seat and Frame Care
• The chassis seat and frame can be wiped cleaned using a soft, damp cloth.
Windows
• Plastic windows can crack at low temperatures. If chassis is stored or left in cold weather you
will need to let it warm up before folding or unfolding.
Wheels and Axles
• Check wheels for loose spokes and axles before every use. Moisture – especially from the
beach – can rust the wheels, footbrake and parts of frame. Spraying regularly with a silicone
lubricant will keep your chassis and wheels clean and safe.
Storage
• Store your POD in a dry, well ventilated area. To avoid mildew, make sure fabric is dry before
storing. Sunshine can fade fabric and dry out tires, so storing your POD indoors will prolong
its good looks. However if you do store it outside, using a tarp will help protect against weather
wear. If using the POD as a trailer, do not store attached to your bicycle.
