4. Preparing for use and operation
Warning. When opening or folding the pushchair, ensure that you hold the frame so that
you avoid any danger of catching your fingers in moving parts.
The following pre-delivery procedures should be carried out to check that the pushchair has
not suffered damage during transit and that all features operate satisfactorily. Refer to the
user manual for detailed instructions on performing each action.
4.1 Unfolding and assembling the pushchair
4.1.1 Unfold the frame: - Follow the instructions in section 4.1.1 of the User manual.
Check that: - All items are working properly. That the frame linkages move freely and
that the safety catches operate properly.
4.1.2 Folding Backrest: - Follow the instructions in section 4.1.2 of the User manual.
Check that all linkages move freely and that the plungers slide in and out of their
sockets with ease, if necessary apply a smear of ‘3in1’ oil to the plungers. Make sure
that the backrest locks / unlocks positively.
Important: Always lift the backrest fully upwards before folding to avoid damage to the
socket.
4.1.3 Upholstery and 5-Point harness: - Follow the instructions in section 4.2 of the user
manual.
1) Check that the upholstery has been assembled and fits properly pay particular to the
seat boards. Check that all the seat boards have been inserted correctly and that the
foam pads are facing the user.
2) It is important that the 5-point harness is installed exactly as detailed in the user
manual. Care over the checking of this item must be taken to ensure the correct and
safe operation of the Fold-a-Way pushchair.
4.1.4 Five Point harness assembly checks
1) Check that the harness is fitted the correct way up i.e. with the strap length adjusters
over the hips and that the straps have not been twisted during the threading process.
2) Check that the straps have been pulled tight and that there is no slack. Check that the
black buckles have been threaded correctly through the cover, seat boards and foam
pads and that they sit flat against the seat cover. See photograph below.
