Thebuggyshouldonlybeusedonsolidlevelground.
Useyourbuggyasintendedbythemanufacturer.Forinstance,donotdriveinto
obstacles(includingsteps,curbs)withoutbraking.
Toclearobstaclessuchasstepsandcurbs,tiltthebuggyontotherearwheels
(pullitbackwardstogoup;todescend,slowlyloweritforward).
Donotgoupordownstairswithouttheassistanceofanotherperson.Ifdevices
suchasrampsorelevatorsareavailable,pleaseusethem.Iftheyarenotavailable,
thenthebuggyshouldbecarriedovertheobstaclebytwopersons.
Payparticularattentionwhenonslopesandinclinestoprevent:
-thechildfromfallingoutofthebuggy
-thebuggyfromtippingover
-thebuggyfromrollingaway
Onlyliftthebuggybypartsthataresolidlyattached:
-frontframetubeabovethefrontwheels
-frontaxle
-pushhandle
Ifyouhavetoparkonaslope,facethebuggyuphillwiththebrakesengagedand
ensurethattheseatisintheuprightposition.
Thereisariskthatthebuggymighttipoverbackwardsiftheseatisthereclined
position.
Beforeleavingthebuggyandbeforegettingintoandoutofit,alwayslockthewheel
locks.
Whenyourchildreachesforobjectsinfront,tothesideorbehindthebuggy,be
surethathe/shedoesnotleanoutofthebuggytoofarsincetheshiftinthecenterof
gravitymightcausethebuggytotiltortipover.
Thehandlingofthebuggyisstronglyinuencedbytyrepressure.Correctlyinate
tyresconsiderablyimproveitsmaneuverability.
Theairpressureshouldbeatleast2bar(200kParesp.29PSI).

presentsthedangerofsuffocation.

thebrakesengaged.
Inthedark,theusershouldwearlightclothingorclothingwithreectorsinorderto
improvevisibility.Ensurethatthereectorsifinstalledareeasilyvisible.
Wealsorecommendinstallingactiveillumination.
Beforeusingthebuggy,bothfoldingguardsandtheseatmustbermlylockedin
place.
Staticstabilityisat>15°inclination.
Attachingheavybagsorotherweighttothepushhandlescanadverselyaffectstability.
Caution!
Regardspeciallyduringadjustingtherecline,thetiltinspacefunctionandthe
footresthangeranglethedangerofgettingcaughtforthechildbyprotrudingarmsor
legsintoexiblepartsoftheZIP.
Don´tusethefootresttogetintoandoutofthebuggygenerally.
Usethefootrestwithshoesonly.
Therehabbuggyisonlyintendedtocarryonechildatatime.

Werecommendthat,whereverandwheneverpossibleuserstransfertotheseats
installedinthemotorvehicleandusethecorrespondingvehiclerestraintsystems,
becausethisistheonlywaytoensureoptimumprotectionofthepassengersincase
ofanaccident.
YourZIPrehabbuggywassuccessfullytestedinaccordancewith
ANSI/RESNAWC/19andISO7176/19(Crashtest).
Itis,however,possibletouseyourZIPrehabbuggyasaseatinamotorvehicle,if

(cigarettetest)andpart2(matchtest).Butthatdoesn`tprotecttheuserintheseat
unittosufferburningsbycarelesshandlingwithblazeoropenre.
