spirit-based cleaners.

SERVICING GUIDE
Just like your car, regular service extends
the life of your Edwards & Co stroller.
Below are some helpful tips to keep your wheels smooth and
enjoyable to use. We recommend servicing your stroller at least every
6 months and an inspection at least once a month.
Here’s how to service your stroller at home:
• Inspect all the rivets and
screws that connect your
stroller together. They should
be clean, tight and secure.
• Remove the wheels (back and
front) and wipe them clean with
a clean rag to remove any dirt,
sand or other debris. Wipe out
the wheel housing. Rear wheels
only: Spray the wheel pins with
some WD-40 to keep the wheel
release running smoothly.
• Make sure the fold joints are
free of dirt and debris. Wipe
clean with a damp cloth. We
suggest cleaning the fold
joints when the stroller frame
is folded. Apply some WD-40
or Silicone spray (available at
Bunnings, Mitre 10 or your local
supermarket) to the moving
hinges.
• To prevent the metal
components from rusting, wipe
down your stroller frame with
a damp clean rag after beach
or rain use, especially when
used in windy & exposed areas.
Always store in a dry place. Do
not store your stroller in a damp
environment that is not well
insulated (such as an unfinished
basement or outdoor shed).
• If you live or use the stroller
within 2kms of the beach or
sea, every 2 months liberally
spray a rag with some WD-40
and wipe it over the rivets and
screws to add an additional
coating layer against corrosion.
• If you do find some corrosion
forming on the rivets or
screws, you can wipe it clean
with a damp cloth and Jif. Dry it
overnight, then liberally apply a
layer of WD-40 as above.
