12. Service, Care and Storage
Hitcharm
Check the hitcharm regularly for signs of damage (e.g. cracks).
DANGER
If there is any kind of damage whatsoever to the hitcharm,
then it must be replaced so as to prevent breakage and the
resulting risk of accident.
If in doubt ask your authorized Chariot retailer.
Wheels
Clean the wheel axles,
the retaining balls and the
push-button pin regularly.
Apply some grease or oil
to the retaining balls and
push-button pin.
DANGER
If the retaining balls and push-button pin are not regularly
maintained, they may lose their securing function. This may
result in the wheel being lost and lead to serious accidents.
Have the wheels (tires, rims, tension of spokes, axle bearing)
checked by your specialist retailer at least once every year.
Clean the wheels regularly and give them a protective wax,
particularly just before the onset of Winter.
Fabric
Check the fabric regularly for signs of damage (e.g. tears).
DANGER
Tears in the fabric actually represent a high safety risk. Due
to tears in the fabric, your child could come into contact with
the wheels or the road surface.
Contact your authorized Chariot retailer immediately if

replaced.
Clean the fabric regularly with domestic soap or a mild
cleansing agent and warm water. Never use thinners or
cleaning solvent.
Storage
Store your Chariot CTS in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Before storing your carrier, it should be dry to prevent the
growth of mould and the formation of mildew. Expose your
carrier as little as possible to direct sunlight to prevent fabric
colours from fading. Do not store the Bicycle Trailer coupled to
the bicycle over a long period of time.
General Maintenance
Look after your carrier. All painted, chrome or galvanised parts
(including screw connectors) should be regularly cleaned and
protected using standard products for this purpose. Ask your
specialist retailer about suitable products for protecting your
carrier.
WARNING
As well as rubber, tires contain many chemical substances
which improve their physical characteristics. In unfavourable
circumstances, these substances may lead to staining of the
transparent side and front windows on the carrier. For this
reason, always store wheels in such a way that they do not
come into contact with these windows.
