this has been done. If any parts require replacement, use only original spares manufactured
by KETTLER®.
Use of the Toy
■ Ensure that the tricycle is not used until it has been properly assembled and checked by an
adult person.
■ In case of tricycles without a free‐wheel consider the fact that the pedals will rotate even when
the tricycle is pushed.
■ Do not transport any objects on the tricycle.
■ Always adjust the use of the tricycle to the conditions encountered.
■ Tricycles do not possess a continuously effective brake system. Therefore, safeguard the tricycle
against rolling away when parking it. Never park the tricycle unattended with a child on it!
■ Never draw the tricycle behind you as long as a child is seated on it.
■ Instruct your child how to use the tricycle correctly and draw attention to possible sources of
danger.
■ Although dangerous situations are unlikely to occur if the tricycle is used correctly, children at play
should, if possible, be supervised.
■ Please bear in mind that there is always a danger of children injuring themselves while using
swings, climbing frames, toy vehicles or similar equipment.
■ When children are at play, situations may arise which cannot be predicted by the manufacturer
and for which he cannot be held responsible.
■ Before use, always check all screws and plug‐in connections as well as respective safety devices
fit correctly.
■ Never use corrosive or abrasive substances to clean the tricycle. Never use substances which may
cause pollution of the environment.
■ For models with push bars: Always ensure that the push bar fits correctly in the adaptor, and
locks. Do not hang any weights on the bar! The tricycle may tip over, and your child may be hurt.
The push bar is intended for adult use only, do not pass responsibility for children on to other
children. For free play time take the push bar off for safety reasons.
■ For models with pneumatic tires: Due to the nature of materials used in pneumatic tires, it is not
recommended for the product to be left in any one place for too long where solvents or other
chemicals, i. e. oil, may lie. This may result in a chemical reaction, which could cause the tires to
mark the surface such as a vinyl flooring. If in doubt put something underneath the wheels to
cover the floor. Ensure that air pressure in the tires is correct; if air pressure is too low this
increases wear, and makes riding the tricycle more difficult!
■ Lubricate the bearing sleeves of the wheels and the handlebars with a few drops of oil every two
or three months.
