IMPORTANT:
Ensure you follow the regular maintenance and care
instructions. Pay special attention to maintenance and
care of the brakes.
Product care
General Maintenance
• Regularly inspect the locking devices, brakes, harness assembly, catches,
seat adjusters, joints and fixings to ensure they are secure and in full
working order.
• Do not store your METRO³in your car for prolonged periods of time,
especially when it is hot as this may lead to warping some of the plastics
parts and reduce the life of your product.
• The brakes and wheels are subject to wear and should be replaced as and
when necessary. Brakes are available through contacting our Customer
Care team at [e-mail]
• Should any parts of the METRO³ become sti or dicult to operate,
ensure that dirt is not the cause. Use a light application of a silicone spray
lubricant, ensuring the lubricant penetrates between the components.
Use sparingly, as excessive application may encourage the accumulation
of dirt. Regular light lubrication of moving parts will extend the life of your
METRO³ and make operating, opening and folding much easier.
• Do not leave the METRO³ in sunlight for prolonged periods of time, as the
colour of some fabrics may fade.
• Store the METRO³ in a dry, well-ventilated and safe place.
• Do not use your METRO³ if any screws are loose or missing or if any
component is damaged.
