B. PARTS
1. Friction pads for foot (parking) brake
Equipping the brake with 4 friction pads (plastic tips) is a necessary condition for the
proper operation of the brake and the safety of the user and the accompanying
person.
Lost overlays or overlays with clear traces of cracks and worn overlays are to be
supplemented or replaced, but only if the depth of abrasion of the overlay reveals the
steel bar under the overlay.
Remark:
Gradual wear of the overlays until the depth of abrasion does not expose the rod on
which they are mounted – does not reduce the effectiveness of the brake and therefore
does not qualify the overlays for replacement.
2. Handbrake friction pads (if the stroller has one).
Worn caps on the brake shoes qualify the brake for replacement.
3. Tires
◦ on the sides of the tires it is unacceptable to have permanent deformations in the form
of bulges,
◦ the tread of the tires must have traces of the tread pattern (the tire must not be bald),
Remark:
Traces of small, hairy cracks parallel to the circumference of the tire do not cause it to
be replaced.
4. Valves
Care for valves is one of the elements determining the safety of the user, his comfort and
durability of the wheel. Therefore, each time you check the pressure in the tires and after
replacing the tire or inner tube, pay attention to:
▪ correctness of the position of the valve relative to the rim (the valve cannot be skewed
because the operation of the stroller with a crooked valve leads to rapid destruction of
the inner tube).
▪ Securing the valve in a cap nut (operation of the stroller without nuts on the valves
causes their premature wear).
5. Rim, hubs and wheel spokes
The wheel rim shall be straight and shall not have nicks at the point of adhesion of the
tire.
The bearings in the wheel hubs must be in working order and properly seated. Spokes
must be complete, without traces of cracks and bends.
6. Axles-see CHASSIS point A.5 – pp. 16 and 17
7. Spring
COMFORT strollers are equipped with spring springs, springs stabilizing the seat of
the stroller.
Spring springs
Nearly thirty years of experience of comfort shows that spring springs in COMFORT
strollers are trouble-free and do not lose their properties over time. Nevertheless, in
the event of a break in one of the springs, it is recommended to replace the set of spring
springs.
Seat stabilizing springs
Springs that are cracked or that have lost the ability to hold the seat
in the main position must be replaced.
8. Footrest support
The footrest support must not be bent.
