9.0 Care and Maintenance
•
CONTINUOUS USE OF CHILD RESTRAINT
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE SEAT. Use
a child restraint mat, towel or thin blanket to protect
upholstery.
•
METAL AND PLASTIC PARTS: clean with mild soap
and cool water. NO BLEACH OR DETERGENTS.
•
HARNESS STRAPS AND LATCH STRAPS may be
spot cleaned or replaced. DO NOT IMMERSE THE
STRAPS IN WATER. Doing so may weaken the
straps. NEVER iron the harness straps.
•
IF HARNESS STRAPS have cuts, fraying or become
badly twisted, you must replace the straps.
•
BUCKLE AND HARNESS ADJUSTER may be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
•
NEVER LUBRICATE THE BUCKLE. If buckle or
harness adjuster sticks or will not remain tight, check
for foreign objects such as food, dirt, etc. Remove
objects with tweezers and/or clean with a cotton swab.
If you cannot get the harness to remain tight with the
buckle securely locked, do not use this child restraint.
Call Graco at 1-800-345-4109 to purchase a
replacement harness or buckle.
•
NEVER USE A SECOND-HAND CHILD RESTRAINT
or a child restraint whose history you do not know.
•
SEAT COVER may be cleaned with a damp sponge
using mild soap and cool water. If necessary, cover
may be removed for cleaning. DO NOT use child
restraint without seat pad.
