The rear wheels of the axle have been designed to be easily removable for more compact storage. Pull the release button next to each wheel joint and pull the wheel away from the chassis.

BRAKE BAR: Adjusting the tightness of the bolts securing the brake bar brackets will modify the ease of movement of the brake bar. The bolts should be adjusted evenly on both brackets using a cross-headed screwdriver and an 8mm open-ended spanner.

FOLDING MECHANISM: The mechanism should be lubricated at intervals to avoid stiffness in use. Water-dispersing type spray lubricant is suitable. Apply the spray to the moving parts inside the mechanism. Take care not to get any of the spray on the fabric parts of the three-wheeler. Wipe off any excess immediately to prevent staining.

handy hints

looking after inflatable tyres

introduction

Inflatable tyres offer a level of comfort and smoothness that solid tyres cannot match, but as with car and bicycle tyres, they are susceptible to occasional punctures. There are obvious hazards to avoid when using your three wheeler e.g. thorns, nails, broken glass etc, but punctures can also occur if the tyres are too soft and are pinched between the rim and a hard object. Like most bicycle tyres, three wheeler tyres are fitted with inner tubes. If these are punctured, they tend to deflate quickly because of their small size – the smaller they are, the quicker they will go down when punctured. After-sales accessories are available from cycle shops to help reduce the but it is advisable to carry a few basic tools to use in the event of a puncture. See the check list on the following page.

fig 34

This three wheeler uses a Schrader valve, this is the most common type of tyre valve.

Remove the wheel with the punctured tyre using any necessary tools.

To make the tyre easier to get off the wheel, ensure all the air is out of the inner tube. Remove any valve caps, then press on the pin in the centre of the valve.

fig 35

Squeeze the sides of the tyre together all the way around the wheel to unseat the tyre sidewalls from the wheels rim.

fig 38

Insert the ends of the tyre levers under one side of the tyre each a few centimetres apart.

One by one pull each lever down toward the spokes of the wheels. The tyre will be pulled above the rim of the wheel.

Slide one of the levers all the way around the remainder of the wheel rim to pull out the rest of the tyre. To remove the inner tube ensure that the valve has been pushed through the wheel rim. Pull the inner tube clear and put it safely to one side. Completely remove the tyre from the wheel, using the tyre levers if necessary.

repairing a puncture

identify the cause

fig 39

Inspect the tyre, inside and out, for the cause of the puncture. It may help to run your fingers around the inside of the tyre but this should be done slowly and carefully as the object that caused the puncture may still be sticking through the tyre. If there are any objects in the tyre remove them. If none are found the puncture may have been caused by the tyre being too soft and the inner tube becoming pinched between the rim and a hard object.

repair the inner tube

WARNING: Rubber solution is flammable and gives off a strong vapour. It should only be used in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources. It may also cause skin irritation, so appropriate protective clothing should be worn.

fig 40

Partly inflate the inner tube and listen carefully for airleaks. Immersing the partly inflated tube in a bucket of water will help locate small holes and valve leaks.

fig 41

Once the hole has been located roughen an area of approximately 2cm all around the hole using the grater or sandpaper from the puncture repair kit.

repairing a puncture

fig 42a

fig 42b

fig 42c

Smear a thin layer of rubber solution over the roughened area. Less is better as it gives the best patch adhesion. Wait around 5 minutes until the rubber solution is ‘touch dry’.

Cut one patch from the strip and remove the FOIL backing only.

Press the patch firmly over the hole and onto the ‘touch dry’ rubber solution. Then rub on the backing paper firmly until the patch is securely attached.

repair the inner tube

fig 43a

fig 43b

Carefully peel the backing paper off the patch, without lifting the rubber patch.

Grate some chalk over the patch area and rub the powder around the patched area. This prevents the patch or rubber solution sticking to the inside of the tyre when refitted.

Care of your product

• Your pushchair requires maintenance by you.

• Regularly inspect the locks, brakes, harness, catches, seat adjusters, joints and fixings to ensure they are secure and in full working order.

• Brakes, wheels and tyres do wear and should be replaced if necessary. This can be arranged through your local Mothercare store.

• If parts become stiff of difficult to operate, ensure dirt is not the cause, then try a light application of a silicon lubricant, ensuring it penetrates between the components. Regular lubrication of moving parts will extend the life of your pushchair and make opening and folding easier.

• Plastic and metal parts may be sponged lightly using warm water and a mild detergent. dry thoroughly before storing.

• Refer to sewn in labels for fabric care instructions.

• Never clean with abrasive, ammonia based, bleach based or spirit type cleaners.

• After exposure to damp conditions, dry off with a soft cloth and leave fully open in a warm environment. Storing damp will encourage mildew to form.
