1: Your Snappi Wheelbase / Interface Workshop Manual
The purpose of this manual is to help you get the best from your pushchair. It
does this by telling you how to complete those maintenance and repair tasks
that can be carried out by a competent person. The manual also tells you
when you should contact the manufacturer who is:
Tendercare Ltd.
PO BOX 3091, Littlehampton, BN16 2WF
Tel: (01903) 726161 Fax: (01903) 734083
Email: [email protected]
Web: www.tendercareltd.com
IMPORTANT:
This manual must be read and used in conjunction with the user manual.
The Wheelbase is made of a strong and lightweight aluminium alloy,
minimising weight and providing a very rugged frame. The wheelbase
provides a tilt in space facility and has 2 fixed rear wheels and 2 castor
wheels at the front for easy steering.
The Seat unit offers best in class growth, thanks to its versatile design and
large ranges of adjustments to all supports. It has an easy to remove,
breathable cover, and comes supplied with a hip belt as standard.
Seat adjustments (please see table below for details of adjustment ranges):
Seat depth adjustment, depth and length adjustable Hip Guides, Back Height
adjustment, Independent back recline (using an easy to operate gas strut
mechanism) and depth & angle adjustable Footrest. The seat also includes an
interface allowing it to be quickly fitted and removed from the wheelbase, and
like the entire Snappi range, includes all the latest safety mechanisms
(including an innovative 2 stage release to prevent little fingers causing
accidents).
The following accessories for use with the Snappi Pushchair are available
from Tendercare Ltd.
Wheelbase Accessories: Equipment carrying tray, Shopping basket, and
Rain-hood.
Seat Accessories: Height and width adjustable wrap around Lateral Supports,
Butterfly chest harness, Foot and Toe Straps, Pommel, Play Tray, Standard
Headrest, Extra recess Headrest, and Occipital roll Headrest.
These instructions apply to all sizes.
