Maintenance intervals
Caution!
Replace corroded steel and aluminium parts immediately.
Never bend back deformed or bent aluminium parts (danger of breakage). Replace
bent aluminium parts immediately.
Immediately replace plastic parts that have become porous or fragile due to the
effects of the weather, for example.
Before every ride
Check that the wheels are secure. The push-in axles must be engaged in the axle mount and it
must not be possible to pull them off without pressing the rubber cap.
Check the air pressure in the wheels. It should be in the range of 2.5 – 4 bar.
Check the air pressure of the buggy wheel (maximum air pressure: 1.9 bar).
Check the total weight, including children and baggage.
Check the fasteners of the cover and close them if necessary.
Inspect all harnesses on the back and under the cabin to make sure that they are secure. They
must be firmly tightened to hold the cover and backrest securely.
Trailer mode: Make sure that the buggy wheel has been removed and that the requirements
described in the chapter
„Connecting the trailer to a bicycle“ on page 25
have been fulfilled.
Buggy mode: Make sure that the buggy wheel can rotate freely. Put the hand strap of the push
handle around your wrist in order to prevent accidental rolling away.
Walker mode: Make sure that the buggy wheel is secured facing straight ahead. Put the hand
strap of the push handle around your wrist in order to prevent accidental rolling away.
Check whether the tow bar, coupler and buggy wheel and their attachments are technically OK.
Check the condition of the wheels. Replace covers and hoses in good time.
Monthly (or every 200 km)
Check the textile cover, all fasteners, the seats and the safety harnesses for cracks, wear and
missing parts.
Inspect all frame tubes and all connecting pieces and fastening components for signs of wear
and damage.
Semi-annually (or every 500 km)
Care for all sliding and moving parts with silicone spray.
Clean the inside and outside of the cabin thoroughly.
Check that all screw and cotter pin connections are secure.
Every three years (or every 3000 km)
Have a full inspection carried out by a specialist workshop no later than every three years.
