yres
The tyres have an inflatable inner tube and car-size valve. Releasing air gives a softer ride, but less than 15psi reduces brake ef
fectiveness. W
e
recommend 20 - 22 psi; runners may prefer more. New
inner tubes and tyres are generally available (21/2 x 12 1/2 inch tire) from cycle or specialist wheel shops. Standard bicycle tire kits will repair most punctures which can occur
. Note that a flat tire can
result from grit holding the valve open; to check, inflate tire, deflate rapidly
, and re-inflate.
Rubber hand-grip The rubber hand grip is soft and not under warranty

ake care when stowing your buggy to avoid
damage.
T
o replace the grip: depress the nib springs, pull handle top from frame. Slide on a new
grip, using soapy water for lubrication. Slide handle top back onto frame until the nib springs engage. Reset handle height. Ensure both nib spring buttons ‘pop’. Routine inspection and maintenance Moving parts may need periodic lubrication. Inspect essential components for fraying (webbing straps and safety harness), wear (auto-locks, snap fasteners, button springs, tyres and moving parts) and freedom of movement. Excessive wear can reduce ef
fectiveness and safety
.
Put the sun hood on Lean sun hood forward (more than regular position. Insert each end of the sun hood wire into the eyelet and hole in the frame, on each side of the sling. (Note the frame hole is slotted and the wire crimped.)
This stops unwanted release. Secure the snap fasteners
on hood to sling (below eyelet) and to frame (above sling). T
o
fold the sun hood down or when folding the buggy
, release the
snap fasteners at the sun hood front. Lay the sun hood back. T
o
remove the sun hood, release the snap fasteners on the frame
and fabric, on each side.
The wire sits in a slot, so can only remove
when angled forward to the open position, with the top snaps released. Gently pull the support wire from the holes on each side of the buggy
