8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
8.1 Care for the harness buckle
It is vital for the safety of your child that the harness buckle works
correctly. Malfunctions of the harness buckle are usually caused by
accumulations of dirt or foreign bodies.
Malfunctions are as follows:
- The buckle latches are ejected only slowly when the red release button is pressed.
- The buckle latches will no longer lock home (i.e. they are ejected again if you try
to push them in).
- the buckle latches engage without an audible “click”.
- The buckle latches are difficult to insert (you feel resistance).
- the buckle only opens if extreme force is applied.
Remedy
Wash out the harness buckle so that it functions properly once again: cleaning the
harness buckle.
1. Follow section 6 to remove the harness buckle(21)
(fig.53, 54, 55)
2. Soak the harness buckle(21) in warm water with
washing up liquid for at least and hour.
Then rinse thoroughly.
