• To prolong the life of your stroller keep it clean and do not leave it
in the direct sunlight or in the car boot for extended periods of
time.

• Removable fabric covers and trims may be cleaned using warm
water with a household soap or mild detergent. Allow it to dry fully,
preferably away from the direct sunlight.

• Non removable fabric covers and trims may be spot cleaned using
a damp sponge with soap or a mild detergent. Allow it to dry
completely before folding or storing it away.

• When using your stroller at the beach - completely clean your

hair dryer to gently warm (DO NOT OVERHEAT) the tyre and the
compression marks should slowly disappear.

Ensure the storage latch is locked onto the frame before lifting
the stroller. To lift the stroller, grasp the frame halfway along the
stroller, so the stroller is balanced.

MANUAL HANDLING TECHNIQUES

The SMART lifting technique

This technique can be used to pick up small light loads from low
levels.

Size up the Load

• Assess the load (size, shape and weight).

• Assess whether the load needs to be moved;

• Where is it going to be placed” Check that there are no obstructions;

• Assess whether mechanical or human assistance is required.

Move the Load as close to the body as possible

• A load is heavier to lift or carry if it is not close to the body.

• The whole hand should be used to ensure a firm grip.

Always bend your knees

• Maintain balance.

• Keep feet apart and in a comfortable position.

• Minimise lower back bending.

• Bend knees preferable at as large an angle as possible but not at a
right angle - use a semi squat in preference to a full squat.

Raise the load with your legs

• Achieve the lift smoothly and without jerkiness.

• Maintain the normal curvature of the spine to allow the force of the
load to be distributed evenly from the spine to the pelvis.

Turn your feet in the direction that you want to move the load.

• Avoid unnecessary bending, twisting and reaching.

• Change direction by turning your feet and not your back.

• To set the load down, squat down, keep your head up and let

• Let your legs do the work.

Remember to ‘THINK TALL’ chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, chin
tucked in and head level.
