Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of this MINI vehicle. You have acquired a
quality product, which is certain to bring you great joy.
This manual contains information on the safe use of your vehicle and its care.
Please read the manual carefully prior to use and keep it in a secure place for
future reference. Failure to observe the information contained in this manual
may impair the safety of your child. Should you have any questions, please contact
your dealer or contact us via our website: shop.mini.com.
Parents’ responsibility
Risks during play are, for the most part, excluded when used in accordance with
the intended purpose. However, please take into consideration that unforeseen
situations and hazards may occur as a result of the natural need for movement and
the temperament of young children and adolescents for which the manufacturer
cannot be held liable.
Teach children and teenagers how to use the vehicle correctly, in order to avoid
falls and collisions. The vehicle does not have any brakes.
Supervise children, and make them aware of any potential hazards.
Suitability
The vehicle must only be used in a suitable, safe play area, in a sheltered
environment. It should only be used on even, barrier-free surfaces! This vehicle
(StVZO) and may not be used on public roads. The permitted total load is a
maximum of 20 kg. This toy vehicle may have sharp edges.
Mounting instructions
Small parts which are required during assembly (e.g. screws and washers)
must be kept out of the reach of small children. There is a danger of suffocation
as a result of swallowing the parts. Also keep all packaging material out of
reach of children.
The bike must be assembled with great caution and by an adult to avoid any
of time to assemble the bike. Several assembly steps require manual skill and
practice in handling tools (e.g. spanner). Please contact your dealer or a workshop
if you have any questions.
In some cases, it is necessary to tighten screws with a prescribed torque. This
torque value is stated in Newtons (e.g. 2 Nm). If the torque with which a screw is
tightened is too low, the connection may still be too loose and therefore unsafe.
If the torque is too high, screws and other parts may be damaged or destroyed.
WUTSCH concepts
WUTSCH are sound recommendations for parents who want to sensibly promote
their children’s motor development.
As a precursor to the balance bike, the WUTSCH goes one step further. In
addition to movement coordination, the development of balance is particularly
important. The WUTSCH is designed in such a way that it can stand on its own
wheels without falling over, but also needs to be supported by the child’s feet
during use. With the WUTSCH, children can enjoy driving, as well as having
an excellent opportunity to improve their balance and movement coordination.
Usage
It is necessary to wear closed shoes. The vehicle must not be driven in the
vicinity of stairs, slopes, steep terrain, swimming pools, or other bodies of
water. Stairs in the vicinity must be secured to prevent children from riding up
or down them on the vehicle.
The legal liability for material defects applies. Damages caused by inappropriate
tear are excluded from the liability of material defects.
CE mark
This product complies with the European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and
therefore bears the CE mark.
Type label
The type label is attached to the underside of the rear frame. Please record the
manual so that you have all the information you need in the event of any questions
or when ordering spare parts.
Maintenance and care
Examine the vehicle at regular intervals for any wear, and to check that the
screws are still properly tightened. Self-tightening nuts are hard to loosen and
must be replaced after complete disassembly!
parts are to be immediately replaced by original PUKY spare parts. For safety
reasons, the vehicle should not be used until it has been fully repaired. Bent or
deformed parts should not be repaired but instead should be replaced.
Spare parts: Wheels, axle stop (WUTSCH only)
The vehicle must not be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner. Clean the tricycle
using a mild soapy solution and carefully wipe dry using a soft cloth. Keep the
vehicle away from corrosion-promoting materials (road salt, sea water, fertiliser).
The vehicle must not be stored in damp conditions.
Unpacking and scope of delivery
Do not use any sharp objects when opening the packaging and removing
protective material. By doing so, you may damage the paint or parts of the vehicle.
· Remove all parts from the packaging.
· Remove the protective material. Keep all packaging material out of reach of
children – there is a risk of suffocation.
· Examine the package for completeness and proper condition. If anything is
missing, please contact your dealer before you start to assemble the vehicle.
Warranty conditions
On all PUKY frames, handlebars and forks, we (PUKY GmbH & Co. KG,
Fortunastraße 11, 42489 Wülfrath, Germany) grant private end users a 5-year
manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase due to breakage and
deformation damage caused by processing or material defects. Excluded from
the warranty are therefore end users who utilise the products in connection
with their professional activities, e.g. kindergartens.
This warranty is valid worldwide and for all PUKY vehicles. The warranty is
explicitly limited to the free repair or the delivery of an equivalent frame, fork
or handlebar free of charge. The installation and removal of the aforementioned
parts is not covered by the warranty. Whether a repair or an equivalent
replacement is carried out is at the free discretion of PUKY. PUKY reserves
the right to carry out an exchange or replacement, if necessary, contrary to the
original component colour design. The warranty is neither extended nor renewed
by the aforementioned service. PUKY acquires the ownership of the replaced or
exchanged parts where applicable.
The warranty is transferable and is product-bound, not person-bound. To
on the website of PUKY (www.puky.de) within 4 weeks after purchase of the
PUKY vehicle is required. After registration, the private end user will receive a
warranty number by email. In case of resale of the PUKY vehicle, the subsequent
private end user needs to register again on the PUKY website (www.puky.de)
with the warranty number mentioned above or the original proof of purchase in
order to keep the warranty activated for the remaining period.
The private end user must register his warranty claims within the warranty
period by submitting a copy of the proof of purchase or by submitting the
warranty number sent by PUKY, generally to the PUKY dealer (see proof of
purchase). In case that this is not possible for the private end user (e.g. because
of relocation, cessation of business etc.), this can also be submitted directly to
PUKY (PUKY GmbH & Co.KG, Fortunastraße 11, 42489 Wülfrath, Germany).
Shipping costs, which arise on the occasion of warranty claims by sending the
products to PUKY, shall be borne by the private end user.This does not apply if
the private end user is also entitled to legal warranty claims on the occasion of
which products are sent to PUKY.
Damage due to normal wear and tear is excluded from the warranty. Likewise,
this warranty does not cover damage caused by improper or incorrect use, e.g.
the frame or fork or by adding or modifying additional components. The warranty
does not cover compensation for direct or indirect consequential damage.
The legal rights of the customer shall remain unaffected by this warranty. The
warranty exists in addition to the statutory claims for delivery of defect-free
goods against the seller and does not limit the statutory claims for defects. The
assertion of these statutory rights is free of charge for the customer.
