Dear parents,
Congratulations for having chosen a pram developed by our company!
Our commitment as producer means engagement, determination and a
keen sense of responsibility to develop and produce prams providing
cosy comfort and a healthy start into your baby’s life!
Being grateful for having placed confidence in our product we wish you
a lot of fun with your new pram.
Penetrating fibres: Although mesh size of the covering and dimension of stuffing
wool fibres are carefully matched in order to prevent fibres from penetrating, this may
occasionally happen in regular use –which is quite natural and, therefore, we are not
liable for warranty. Penetrating fibres can be easily removed by means of a clothes brush.
Torn seams/loose buttons: Would you, please, check right away whether all seams
are properly done and all buttons are tight. Should this not be the case, it can be
reclaimed within a fortnight. Reclamations which exceed the birth date of your baby by
more than a month cannot be accepted and must be regarded as normal wear and tear.
Corrosion: Due to a special powder coating the frame is resistant against corrosion.
Damage to the paintwork caused by usage, may however result in rust stains if not
properly treated (cf. maintenance manual). Salty substances (road salt, seawater) may
also lead to corrosion of scratches on tubes nuts and bolts. This can be avoided by regular
proper cleansing. Note that there will be no liability for warranty in cases of corrosion.
Plastic parts:Plastic parts are liable to break when strained at very low temperature.
For this reason it is strongly advisable to park the pram in a frost-proof area. Broken
plastic parts are only replaced under warranty in case of an obvious fault in the material.
Cork handles: All handles consist of genuine natural cork and are durable under
normal conditions of use. Friction, rubbing and incorrect treatment may damage these
handles and cannot be regarded to be a case of warranty.
Suspension system:The suspension system is subject to a certain wear out. Long and
intensive use will slacken the springs. We do not offer warranty for this kind of wear.
Wheels/tyres: Worn tyres are normal after a certain time of usage. Punctures are either
caused by nails, pieces of broken glass or the like or by wrong air-pressure in the tyres
(1.5 bar is correct) – please check ! Avoid frequent overheating by heavy sunlight –
especially in the boot of cars. Also wheel bearings can wear out by intensive use and
wrong or lacking maintenance.
In all these cases we are not liable to any warranty.

Cleansing and Maintenance:
Cleansing of fabrics:
All fabric components are removable and can be treated in a washing machine, set
to hand wash 30°C, mild detergent added.
Do not spin-dry or wring.
Dry fabrics only on air (do not use a drier).
Plump up pillows after drying in order to make them fleecy.
Minor stains can be removed by cautious use of a wet cloth and pure water.
Cleaning of the fabrics must correspond with their specific instructions for care! Otherwise
they may shrink; wool might felt, penetrate the cover or form clusters. Fading of colours by
washing and friction is normal wear and tear.
Our fabrics have high non-fade properties but usually fabrics cannot stand extreme sunlight.
Sunlight during the summer season has become rather aggressive nowadays, so that we
strictly recommend parking your pram in the shade –so the fresh colours will last much
longer!
Bleaching of fabric colours by sunlight, friction, detergents or frequent washing cannot be
precluded and is not caused by faults in the material.
Wheels:
The wheels are not counterbalanced. A slight imbalance for manufacturing reasons
is, therefore, possible and cannot be regarded to be faulty.
The air pressure in the tyres must not exceed 1.5 bars!
Avoid longer parking on bright surfaces. Heat and points of pressure can lead to permanent
deformation of the air-chamber wheels.
Maintenance of frame:
Please wipe dry wet metal and plastic parts. All joints and wheels are likely to catch
dust and the lubrication may dry out. To avoid nagging squeak, all hubs and hinges
must be regularly serviced and oiled (every 4 weeks)!
Remove the wheel (cf. manual) and apply a thin film of grease around the
hub.
Apply a few drops of oil to the joint of each hinge and remove the greasy
surface with a cloth.
Minor damages to the paintwork should be polished with sandpaper and
repainted with a touch-up stick (available in a paint shop) in accordance with
its using instructions.
Cleansing of cork handles:
Messy cork handles can be cleaned with tepid water and a soft cloth –beware of
abrasive cleansing cloths!

Please study this manual carefully before use in order to offer utmost
safety for your baby and grant durable pleasure with your pram.
