- Folding and Unfolding:

Maintenance Features
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated, dry place, away from dampness, direct sunlight, and carpet (to avoid marks from rubber wheels). Do not place heavy objects on top.
- Cleaning:
- Use a damp cloth with mild detergent diluted in water for seat fabric and sun canopy.
- NEVER fully soak the cloth, use abrasive, ammonia-based, bleach-based, or spirit-based cleaners.
- Refer to care labels for machine washing instructions.
- Drying: Dry thoroughly before storing. NEVER tumble dry or wring fabrics.
- Wheel Replacement: Stop using and replace immediately if any wheel is damaged or worn.
- Regular Inspection (Monthly):
- Rivets and Screws: Ensure they are clean, tight, and secure. If corrosion forms, wipe with a damp cloth, dry, and spray with WD-40.
- Wheels: Remove, wipe clean of dirt/sand/debris, and wipe out wheel housing. Spray rear wheel pins with WD-40 for smooth release mechanism operation.
- Fold Joints: Ensure free of dirt/debris, wipe clean with a damp cloth, and apply WD-40 or silicone spray to moving hinges when folded.
- Service (Every 6 Months): Contact Edwards & Co customer service for assistance or appointments for servicing. Service days are hosted at retailers in New Zealand.
- Coastal Use: If living or using within 3kms of the sea, park/store indoors away from wind. Monthly, spray a rag with WD-40 and wipe down all screws and rivets to protect against corrosion. Avoid beach use as sand and salt interfere with moving parts.
- Corrosion: Manufacturer's warranty does not cover corrosion caused by environmental factors such as salt water or sand. NEVER rinse frame, wheels, or housings with water as it can interfere with internal mechanisms and damage the stroller.
