- Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly.
- Wheels: Regularly clean the all-terrain wheels to remove dirt and debris.
4.2 General Care
- Periodically check all fasteners, rivets, and connections to ensure they are secure.
- Lubricate moving parts (e.g., wheel axles) with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff.
- Store the stroller in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Cybex Talos S Lux Stroller, refer to the following common solutions:
- Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Ensure the seat is in the upright position and the handlebar is at its lowest setting. Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism.
- Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly: Clean any debris from the wheel axles. If necessary, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts of the wheels.
- Stroller Pulls to One Side: Check tire pressure (if applicable, though these are puncture-proof) and ensure no debris is lodged in the wheel mechanisms. Verify that the front wheels are locked straight if on uneven terrain.
- Harness Not Adjusting: Ensure the harness straps are not twisted or caught in the seat fabric. Refer to the harness adjustment instructions for proper use.
