SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Warnings! Protective equipment should be worn. Not to be used in traffic. 20 kg max.
- Please ensure that your child uses the product only in suitable play areas. The selected surface of application should be smooth, clean, dry and as far as possi-ble free of other traffic participants. Do not permit your child to ride at dusk, at night or under poor visible conditions. In order not to endanger your child and others, you should not permit your child to ride on roads and in passages, as well as on slopes and hills. You should further also not permit your child to ride on stairs and open waters.
- Your child should not use the product on sensitive surfaces. Cover such surfaces where expedient with old carpets.
- This toy has to be used with caution since the use of the product requires speci-fic skills and knowledge to be able to avoid injury to the user and third parties through a crash or collision. Please ensure that your child disposes over the ne-cessary skills / knowledge. Instruct your child to always be alert and to ride ca-refully. Always supervise your child when using the product! For use only under adult supervision.
- Please ensure that your child wears the appropriate protective clothing (helmet, hand- / wrist-, elbow- and knee pads). We recommend the use of reflective ma-terials, so that your child is well seen even under poor visible conditions. We point out; however, that even wearing complete protective equipment can not provide 100% protection.
- Please note that the weight of your child must not exceed the permissible user weight in the section “Technical Specifications”.
- You should always ensure before handing over the product to your child for use that all the parts are still properly secured and the product functions as intended. You should ensure that all fasteners or else fastening parts are firmly secure.
- In the event of continuous use, the stopper break can heat up! Please ensure that it is not touched by your child before it has cooled down.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
SIZE ADJUSTMENT
- Open all closure systems.
- Hold the skate firmly at the front on the toe clap and press the lever at the back of the skate down.
- Turn the lever. Turning the lever clockwise will reduce the size. A larger shoe size can be selected through a counter-clockwise turn. The set size can be read off the side of the article.
- Once the desired size is reached, push the lever back up. Please thereby ensure that the push-lock snaps.
- Proceed likewise with the second skate.
- Check before use that all closure systems are suitably adjusted and closed. They should be set so that the shoes fit snugly without impairing the blood circulation.
RIDE TECHNIQUE
Please ensure that your child does not ride too fast. At too high a speed
novice ri-ders can in particular no longer control the skates. Instruct your
child in the riding technique, for example on how to glide, curve riding and
especially on how to brake.
TIPS
- Your child should try out some important skills in order to get accustomed initially on an old carpet, before you permit the child to ride on asphalt. Instruct your child that it should stand at about a hand length parallel and upright on the skates. The body weight should thereby be shifted on to the balls of the foot. A more common error among novices is that when standing upright they tend to keep the knees stiff and shift their weight on to the heels. Provide your child with assistance so that it attains the right posture.
- Once your child has mastered the first riding techniques, you can then permit it to practice further on clean, level asphalt. Please ensure that your child does not ride on steep slopes, roads with traffic and difficult underground.
- Every beginning is difficult and the most accidents happen to “Novices” within the first ten minutes. You should pay special attention to your child during this phase.
THE BRAKING TECHNOLOGY
Explain the brakes to your child. In order to stop, your child can simply let
the skates slow down to a stop. A more controlled slow down is however
achieved by braking with the rear-mounted stoppers on both shoes that generate
a braking effect through slipping. Encourage your child to practice the use of
the brakes. In order to slip the tip of the foot has to slightly be lifted up,
so that the stopper touches the ground at the back. The more pressure is
exercised, the faster the speed decreases. Full stops should be avoided, since
a controlled ride can then often no longer be ensured. You should therefore
instruct your child to always ride with foresight.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Use a dry or damp cloth only to clean the product; do not use special cleaning
agents! Check the product for damage or traces of wear and tear before and
after each use. Do not make any structural changes. For your own safety,
please use original spare parts only. These can be sourced from HUDORA. If
parts become damaged or if sharp edges or corners should develop, the product
may not be used any more. If in any doubt, please contact our service team
(http://www.hudora.de/). Store the product in a safe place where it is
protected from the elements, cannot be damaged, and cannot injure anyone.
Wear and tear necessitates regular service and maintenance. Worn stoppers,
rol-lers or bearings are easy to replace. You are not permitted to perform any
changes on the roller skates that may impair safety. The self-locking effect
of self-locking nuts or else axes may subside due to the repeated loosening
and tightening of the fasteners. You should remove edges that result from the
use as soon as possible. Regular service and maintenance increases the
reliability and service life of the roller skates.
ROLLER CHANGE
Rollers are available as an accessory. Note that the bearings on the old
rollers have to be removed and inserted into the new rollers. In order to
change the rollers, you have to loosen the screws, remove the old rollers and
insert the new rollers (either provided with new ball bearings or with their
old ball bearings) on the axle and tigh-ten the screws. When removing the rear
rollers it has to be ensured that the spacer is in each case also removed and
later accordingly reinstall. The front rollers do not have a spacer. We
recommend for safety reasons to renew the varnish of the self-locking nut on
this occasion.
BEARING CHANGE
Your roller skates are equipped with ball-bearings that were in the course of
the production filled with grease under high pressure conditions. For this
reason they only roll easier and faster when subjected to a load. Since this
involves a closed system, the bearings do not have to be re-lubricated.
Ball bearings should be cleaned as needed with a dry cloth. In the event that
the ball bearing on a roller skate has become wet or damp when riding, it is
necessarily that it is wiped dry with a cloth. Worn bearings have to be
replaced. Loosen the roller from the chassis. You should now use a screwdriver
to remove the ball bearing. After the cleaning process, or the replacement of
the ball bearing, press the ball bearing firmly in the roller.
STOPPER CHANGE OR ELSE ADJUSTMENTS
The stoppers wear out over time. In the event that stopper is quite worn out,
loosen the stopper block with a Phillips screwdriver from the chassis.
Reinsert the new stopper back properly. The clearance between the lower edge
of the stopper and the ride surface has to amount to more 10 mm. Repairs or
adjustments on the roller skates, have to be performed by an adult.
DISPOSAL ADVICE
At the end of the product’s life, please dispose of it at an appropriate
collection point provided in your area. Local waste management companies will
be able to answer your questions on this.
