8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

8.1 Care for the harness buckle

It is vital for the safety of your child that the harness buckle works

correctly. Malfunctions of the harness buckle are usually caused by

accumulations of dirt or foreign bodies.

Malfunctions are as follows:

- The buckle latches are ejected only slowly when the red release button is pressed.

- The buckle latches will no longer lock home (i.e. they are ejected again if you try

to push them in).

- the buckle latches engage without an audible “click”.

- The buckle latches are difficult to insert (you feel resistance).

- the buckle only opens if extreme force is applied.

Remedy

Wash out the harness buckle so that it functions properly once again: cleaning the

harness buckle.

1. Follow section 6 to remove the harness buckle(21)

(fig.53, 54, 55)

2. Soak the harness buckle(21) in warm water with

washing up liquid for at least and hour.

Then rinse thoroughly.
