2. Safety Information

Always prioritize your pet's safety. Adhere to the following guidelines:

• Maximum Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 35 pounds (15.8 kg). Overloading can compromise stability and safety.
• Secure Your Pet: Always use the internal safety harness (5-point harness type) to secure your pet inside the stroller. This prevents accidental falls or escapes.
• Brake Engagement: Engage the rear wheel brakes when the stroller is stationary to prevent unintended movement.
• Supervision: Never leave your pet unattended in the stroller, especially on inclines or near traffic.
• Assembly: Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and locked into place before placing your pet inside.
• Terrain: While the stroller is designed for various terrains, exercise caution on uneven or rough surfaces to avoid tipping.
• Weather Conditions: Protect your pet from extreme weather. The Oxford cloth provides some water resistance, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or direct sun should be avoided.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow through the mesh windows, especially in warmer conditions.

6.2 Wheel Care

• Regularly check wheels for debris, dirt, or hair that may impede their movement. Clean as needed.
• Ensure wheels rotate freely. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the axles.

7. Troubleshooting

• Stroller does not fold/unfold easily: Ensure all locking mechanisms are disengaged before attempting to fold, and fully engaged when unfolding. Check for any obstructions.
• Wheels are stiff or squeaky: Clean wheels thoroughly to remove debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the wheel axles if necessary.
• Stroller feels unstable: Verify that all wheels are securely attached and the frame is fully locked in the open position. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
• Pet seems uncomfortable: Ensure the harness is not too tight or loose. Check for proper ventilation. Consider adding a soft blanket for added comfort.
