Unpacking your Buggy

On arrival and setting up for the rst time

• Your buggy (frame and fabric items) will arrive in a box. Check the
box is not damaged.

• The initial setup involves installing: wheels, front wheel J-Bar,
footplate, fabric items & handle.

Don’t worry - it’s easy - no tools needed.

Put the wheels on

Lie box on oor (TOP up). Carefully cut tape and lift off top. Check that
all components purchased are in the box. Check no components ap­pear damaged. Carefully lift out wheels (2 rear and one front), bacpac
and frame. Place frame on oor, clicking auto-locks (A & B) in place.
Refer diagram above.

Attach the rear wheels by sliding each axle through the axle tubes. De­press the ‘nib spring’ on each axle. Ensure nib pops out once through
axle. These hold the wheels in place. Remove wheels as required.

Attach front wheel: Pull swivel wheel lock on pipe out (refer diagram);
aim J-bar to the side not front; depress nib spring and insert J-bar into
pipe; ensure nib spring pops at top and J-bar is ush with plastic bush;
push cap over pipe top. Reverse procedure as required.

Put the parcel tray on

Pull the parcel tray forward so that it is in line with the ground. Loop
straps 1 & 2 (on both sides) around frame. Ensure strap 1 does not
catch the auto-lock pin. There is a snap on the inside of the frame
below the auto-lock. Loop strap 1 below this snap. Loop the straps
in the centre of the tray (both sides) around the frame below doubles
bar tube. Attach rear strap 3 around the vertical frame at back of
buggy. Check it looks the same as the diagram.

Do not place more than 3kg/7lbs in the parcel tray.

Put the handle on

Slide the handle onto the frame. Ensure the holes in the handle
face down. There are two height settings. Depress the nib springs
on undersides of frame (twice for the lower setting).

Put the footplate on

Position footplate over front of buggy frame. Insert 4 plastic rivets
through holes in footplate; match to holes in frame. Rivet must rest on
footplate. DO NOT push stalk until rivet rests on footplate. Push (or
