 Please read this user guide fully before using your stroller.

 Expert medical advice must be sought before using your stroller. If you have any doubt about this speak to your Occupational Therapist.

 Before using the stroller it is essential to check that the Frame Catch is locked, and that the Tilt-in-space mechanism and the seat recline are

tightened.

 Each attendant should be familiar with the operation of the stroller. If there is any doubt they should read this User Guide.

 Before setting off, ensure that the occupant is comfortable, and that clothes and rugs are tucked in, so that they do not cat ch on the wheels.

 Always apply the parking brake when the stroller is stationary and when getting in and out of the stroller.

 Never tip the stroller forward when going down a kerb.

 If the stroller is going to be used for transport in a vehicle you should carefully read the Transport Section of this User Guide.

 The attendant must take precautions against fire risk. In buildings, check the locations of fire exits and make sure the emergency procedures are

understood.

 Do not let children play with, or hang on the stroller.

 Do not use your stroller in a manner for which it is not designed.

 Ensure that children are clear of moving parts before making adjustments.

 Patron Bohemia, Activate, and your dealer, cannot accept responsibility for the use of accessories other than those supplied by them.

 Full concentration must be maintained during travel to avoid collisions or other dangerous situations.

 Make sure that the stroller brakes are applied while adjusting the recline or the tilt of the seat. This will leave both hands free to operate these

features, avoiding sudden movements which will cause discomfort to the occupant.

 The seat base attachment must not be released while the stroller is occupied. Make sure that the seat is empty before removing the seat or changing

its direction of travel.

 Do not overload the stroller. Other children should not ride on the back of the stroller, or loads attached to the frame other than on the approved

accessories.

 Ensure that the occupant has the appropriate harness attached and adjusted to prevent them from falling out of the stroller while travelling. The

attendant should know how to fit, adjust, and release these features.

 Do not stand on the footrest. The footrest should be folded whilst loading.

 Never leave the child unattended in the stroller, even for the shortest time.

 At all times when operating the stroller, be aware of the danger of injury to yourself, the occupant or any other person, especially when going

through doorways.

 Patron Bohemia, Activate, and your dealer, cannot accept responsibility for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the incorrect operation of your

stroller.

Operating the Tilt Function

 The angle of the seat unit is altered by

releasing the tilt lever indicated on our main
picture.

 The backrest of the seat should be held with

one hand while releasing the lever with the

other hand. Re-position the seat angle and let

go of the lever, checking that the seat is secure
in the new position.

Always check that the child in the rear seat has enough space when tilting the seat

Removing and re-fitting the front seat unit

 The Seat unit should be removed to

allow the frame to fold.

 The seat is secured by two levers

under the seat unit at the rear as
indicated in our first picture (you are
looking down form above, with only a
seat frame mounted on the chassis)

 These levers should be opened by

pulling the pop-pins out and swinging
the levers backwards as shown

 The seat unit then tips forward and is

lifted off the interface.

 Make sure that the Seat carriage is

placed in a level position for folding

Adjusting the push handle height/ folding the chassis

 The height of the pushing handle is

adjustable, and this also enables the
handle to be folded away for storage of
the complete buggy – or when folding

the frame

 The lever on the adjuster should be

opened, which allows the gears to
disengage. The handle can then be

moved to the required position and

the lever closed to secure the adjuster.

 Adjuster Closed  Adjuster Open
