Should the chassis become wet, dry off promptly before storing. If this pram is used near the ocean or salted
roads, spray the chassis and seat frame with water and dry. We recommend a rust inhibiting product should
be used to prevent rust and fatigue on metal parts.
We recommend that you wipe down axles and lubricate the wheels every 3 months. Sand and dirt can grind
down axles, if you live near the beach or in a dusty environment you must wipe down the axles and wheels
then lubricate them monthly.
AXLES ARE BEST LUBRICATED WITH GREASE OR PETROLEUM JELLY. MOVING PARTS ARE BEST LUBRICATED
WITH SILICONE BASED PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE OIL BASED PRODUCTS.
