Even though we perform quality and product life tests and only use material of the highest quality, it is still important for you to care for and maintain your pram in order for it to last and work effectively. No pram can remain free from wear and tear, for example, on the wheels and brakes and other moving parts on the chassis. Similarly, no fabric can maintain 100% light fastness if subjected to UV radiation. Follow the care instructions and you will have a lot of pleasure from your pram for a very long time to come!
Care of fabrics
All fabrics are removable to enable them to be cleaned and the pram to retain its freshness. Follow the care advice supplied with the pram or contact your authorised retailer for care instructions. Fabric samples are available at all our authorised Emmaljunga retailers. Emmaljunga reserves the right against differences between fabric samples and the actual pram fabrics.
General care and maintenance instructions
- Never expose your vehicle to excessive sunlight for long periods of time.
- Always use a rain cover when it is snowing or raining.
- Never store your vehicle in cold and/or damp places. In order to avoid mould it is important that you make sure that it is completely dried in room temperature after use.
- Should the chassis become wet, dry it off promptly. Make sure the vehicle is completely dry before storing.
- If the vehicle is used near the ocean or salted roads, spray the chassis with a hose, and dry.
- Take care when transporting or storing the chassis since the surface is delicate. Scratches to the chassis surface, that arise after the purchase is not a valid complaint.
- Regularly clean the chassis and metal parts of the vehicle dry off and lubricate all joints of the chassis. Spokes, and fenders on all wheels, should frequently be wiped off with a dry cloth. When the pram is used during the winter time, cleaning of the pram should be done at least once a week. Lack of maintenance could cause corrosion on the spokes and fenders. Should corrosion on the surface occur, which is a possibility,you are required to remove this with a corrosion cleaning agent.
- It is recommended to lubricate the wheel axles and suspension system every three months (clean axles with a cloth prior to lubrication). Axles may be lubricated with petroleum jelly or automobile oil.
Check regularly that:
- all chassis locking devices are functioning properly.
- all rivets, nuts and bolts are firmly tightened and not broken.
- all plastic parts are not cracked or broken.
- the wheel bushings are in a good condition.
- all velcros are securely fastened on backrest pocket and seat board flap.
- the press-stud is securely fastened on the footrest flap.
- all elastic straps are in a good condition.
- the secondary locking mechanism is intact and can move freely.
- the brake and brakepin works and that the brake cog is properly attached
- the handles and the bottom of the carrycot should be inspected regularly for signs of damage and wear.
