all other components, including accessories, warranted for a period of 12 months.
The warranty period commences from the date of dispatch from our factory.
In the unlikely event of a warranty claim being necessary, the failed part must be
returned to your supplier.
The failed part may then be repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s discretion
or that of their appointed supplier. In the latter case, any displaced parts must be
returned to the manufacturer for inspection.
Any component or accessory repaired or replaced during the 12 month warranty
period, will continue to be covered for the balance of the warranty period only.
As unusually high rates of wear on this device or its ancillary parts may be caused
by the user’s clinical condition, the manufacturer may consider this to be beyond
its control. Therefore, items such as upholstery, wheels and tyres, may only be
considered for repair or replacement under the terms of the product warranty,
where a failure is clearly attributed to a manufacturing or material defect.
Any attempt to change the design or modify the construction of the marley
Stroller in any way, will invalidate the product warranty and the manufacturer’s
CE marking declaration.
RMS Ltd. reserves the right to change without notice, the design, methods of
manufacture, or any materials used in the construction of the marley Stroller ,
where it considers such changes will serve to improve the product quality, or
become necessary to meet any changes in device legislation.

UPHOLSTERY CARE and CLEANING
General Fabric Care
 Use of a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to remove dust and solid particles,
together with frequent wiping with a damp cloth, will to help to maintain the
appearance of the fabrics.
 Spillages should always be removed as quickly as possible with an absorbent
dry cloth.
 Minor Soiling can normally be removed with a clean damp cloth.
 Water Based Stains can be cleaned using mild liquid detergent with warm
water. Use cold water for stains produced by bodily fluids, then rinse
thoroughly, followed by drying with a clean absorbent cloth.
 With the marley vacated, Light Steam Cleaning can be carried out in situ,
ensuring all areas are completely dry before reuse.
NOTES:
 All soap residue must be thoroughly rinsed out from all fabrics, as it can attract
further stains.
 All stains caused by bodily fluids should be removed immediately.
 As with all fabrics, stains that are left in situ for over 24 hours, will have set and
will become increasingly difficult to remove.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Due to the various activities a Stroller user and their carer may have to perform,
RMS Ltd recommends that prior to issuing the marley Stroller, this manual be
studied by all relevant persons, to ensure that all instructions, procedures and
warnings are carefully observed and understood.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1/ The marley Stroller is equipped, as standard, with a Shopping Basket, the
straps of which are integral to the frame. Therefore the Shopping Basket should
only be removed for cleaning purposes.
2/ Care must be taken to avoid finger trapping or possible injury when
lifting, folding or unfolding the marley. Also ensure children are clear
of any moving parts when folding or adjusting the Stroller.
 For correct support and user comfort, it is strongly recommended that any
adjustments necessary affecting the user’s postural positioning, should be
carried out by a suitably qualified person at or before the final hand-over.
 The final Hand-over should also include passing this manual over to the carer.
 The maximum occupant capacity of the marley Stroller is 35Kg (5.5 stones).
 Where the large tilt range of the marley is to be used to the extreme, a
suitable stability test with the intended user may be necessary, prior to final
commissioning.
 After the marley seating system has been initially adjusted to suit the
intended user, any settings should not be affected subsequently, by the folding
of the stroller. However, care should be taken not to impact adjustable
components whilst folding or in the folded position.
 To accommodate any changes in user growth or postural positioning, it is
recommended that the marley and user be checked at regular intervals by a
suitably qualified person, to ensure that adjustable components are correctly
set to suit the user’s current requirements.
 Carers should ensure correct utilisation of any positioning belt or harness, as
failure to do so could result in injury to the user. It is recommended that any
postural belts or harnesses being used, are the first items to be secured when
the user enters the seat and the last items to be released before exiting.
 DO NOT park the marley close to sources of excessive heat or naked flames.

HARNESS
No Tools Required:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The marley Harness is intended for postural support
only. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD IT BE USED AS THE SOLE METHOD OF
RESTRAINT DURING TRANSPORTATION IN A MOTOR VEHICLE.
The backrest upholstery has not only been designed to offer comfort and support
but also ease of Harness installation.
Having the intended user seated, will assist with establishing the most suitable
mounting positions for the upper Harness straps.
Pre-formed slots have been created during the upholstery production, to enable
the upper Harness straps to be easily fed through to the rear of the backrest panel.
 Remove and save the tri-glides placed on the upper and lower Harness straps
during production, before commencing this installation.
 Pass both ends of each upper Harness strap through the appropriate pre-formed
slots in the Backrest upholstery, then through the corresponding slots in the
Backrest Panel.
 The lower straps can be routed directly between the Seat Cushion and Backrest
upholstery, continuing through the lower mounting slots in the Backrest Panel.
 Re-install tri-glides onto all the straps and secure as shown below to prevent the
straps from pulling back through.
 Correct positioning of the harness panel can be achieved by a combination of
upper and lower strap adjustments both at the rear tri-glides and upper harness
cam-lock buckles.
 Detach the Harness Centre Panel from it’s straps via the buckles, to allow the
user to enter or exit the marley.

LATERAL SUPPORTS
Lateral Supports supplied with screws and fixings.
Tools Required: 10mm Spanner.
NOTE:
The Lateral Supports are handed by virtue of a small recess in the rear of each
side support pad panel. This recess is to assist with retaining the pad and should
always be located at the top.
 Partially separate the backrest upholstery from the backrest panel, sufficient to
gain access to the relevant mounting slots for the Lateral Supports.
 Whilst holding each Lateral Support in position against the backrest panel, with
the recess at the top, insert two M6 Carriage Bolts through the Support bracket
from the front, then through the backrest panel and secure at the rear using the
M6 nuts and washers supplied.
 Refit and secure the backrest upholstery around the Lateral Supports as below.
 Position the Lateral Supports to suit the user’s requirements and finally secure
sufficiently to prevent any movement.

 Worn or damaged upholstery can lead to hygiene contamination, cause injury
to the user and, in some cases, fail to support the user correctly. Regular
inspections of all upholstery should be made and any defects should be rectified
as soon as possible.
 Ancillary devices, such as the headrest, positioning belt, harness or pommel
should always be checked for security and positioning on a daily basis.
 The parking brakes should always be applied whenever parking the marley,
before attempting to transfer the occupant, or making any adjustments.
 Never leave the marley parked unattended or on a slope, with the occupant
seated.
 Objects should never be suspended from the push handle, as this could
seriously affect the overall stability of the marley.
 Regular inspections of the buggy should be made and any defects reported to
the relevant authority for rectification as soon as possible.
NOTE: Any reference to Left or Right in this manual, will refer to the Left or
Right side when sitting forward facing in the seat unit.
