User Maintenance – Keep frame clean and dry, and occasionally wipe
with an oily cloth. Add oil to moving parts as needed to maintain easy
folding and adjustment. Wheel and wheel locks should be kept free of
mud, so as not to interfere with locking. Fabric seat and attachments can
be easily removed, washed and air dried (a Phillips head screwdriver is
required).

Repairs – If required repairs are beyond what is reasonable for a user to
handle, the manufacturer or a qualified service facility will perform the
repairs. All repairs or replacement of permanently attached worn or
broken parts must be performed by a qualified service facility. Any
individual part of the Push-Chair can be replaced. If the service facility is
close, the Push-Chair can be delivered in person. Alternatively, after
receiving a return authorization, the Push-Chair should be packaged in the
original shipping carton for return to the manufacturer/service facility.
Shipping may be possible by parcel post, or by private package delivery
services.

enough momentum to travel two meters. The Push-Chair should not veer to
the left or right more than fifteen centimeters. Wheels should be free
running and the wheel locks (brakes) adjusted to adequately secure the
Push-Chair. Following the fold/unfold instructions, the Push-Chair should
fold/unfold smoothly without undue effort. All fasteners should be secure.
Fasteners on moving joints should not be over tight. Fabric seat and back
should not be stretched and/or sagging.

and outdoor use. It is not suitable for very rough terrain, deep mud
or snow. If the Push-Chair is used in the rain, the excess water should
be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the Push-Chair is splashed with mud
or corrosive substances like salt water or road salt, the Push-Chair
should be washed clean with water, wiped dry and household oil
reapplied to the moving parts. The Push-Chair should never go into
seawater, as it will corrode areas that cannot be washed clean.
When going from outside to inside, clean excess dirt or mud from the
wheels to prevent soiling of carpets.

or snow. If the Push-Chair is used in the rain, the excess water should
be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the Push-Chair is splashed with mud
or corrosive substances like salt water or road salt, the Push-Chair
should be washed clean with water, wiped dry and household oil
reapplied to the moving parts. The Push-Chair should never go into
seawater, as it will corrode areas that cannot be washed clean.
When going from outside to inside, clean excess dirt or mud from the
wheels to prevent soiling of carpets.
