SKATE SAFELY​

Always wear protective equipment—helmet, wrist, elbow, and knee pads and a reflective device—and make sure to follow all the safety rules and regulations of local authorities.

Check your skates​

Always make the following checks before skating (note: self-locking nuts and other self-locking fixings may lose their effectiveness over time):

  • Nuts and axles: These should be checked regularly. They can become loose after a while, in which case they should be tightened. They can become worn and not tighten properly, in which case they should be replaced.
  • Check that the screws are tightened properly, and fasten the skates properly.
  • Check that the bearings are clean and not damaged.
  • Ensure that the chassis is in the correct position and securely fixed.
  • Check that the brake pad is not excessively worn.

Starting/braking​

  • Simply push off with one foot and then the other to start moving forward. The inline skates do not have a starting aid device.

  • Learn to brake before moving. The distance required for braking depends on your skill, speed, and the conditions of the surface you are skating on. To brake, lean forward slightly from the waist up and bring forward the foot doing the braking. Press on your heel and the brake will stop you. Bend your knee slightly to facilitate braking.

  • Practice braking on flat surfaces before skating on slopes. A worn brake pad increases the distance required for braking. Check the brake pads and replace them if necessary.

  • The instructions for changing the brake pad are in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

Converting wheels​

GLOBBER LEARNING SKATES 2in1 require assembly by a qualified adult to convert from learning mode (2 rear wheels in parallel) to inline mode.

To transform the skates from learning mode to inline mode:​

  1. Pull the rear wheel module and turn it 90 degrees.

  2. Pull one wheel and turn it 90 degrees, and repeat the same operation with the 2nd wheel. Make sure both wheels slot back in the correct position and are fixed before using the skates.

Size adjustment​

Parents can adjust the skate to fit their child’s foot exactly. It is possible to lengthen/shorten the shell under the ball of the foot in a few simple steps:

  1. Press the ‘PUSH’ button and slide the front of the shoe to the desired size marked on the outside of the shoe and release the ‘PUSH’ button.

  2. Repeat for the other skate and make sure the sizes match for both skates.

Maintenance​

Take care to remove any sharp edges created through use.

Changing the brake pad​

Check the degree of wear of the brake pad often. It must be replaced if there are excessive signs of wear. To replace:

  • Remove the locking screw using a Phillips screwdriver.
  • Remove the worn pad.
  • Replace it with a new pad.
  • Retighten the screw

Replacement of wheels​

Check wheels for wear before each use. They must be replaced if they show signs of excessive wear. Replacement wheels are not supplied with this product; they must be purchased from a retailer.

To replace the wheels:

  1. Use both allen keys (included in-pack) to unscrew the wheel you want to replace. Discard the old wheel.
  2. Place the new wheel back in the same location as the old wheel was, align the wheel with the hole, and insert the screw.
  3. Use both allen keys to screw the wheel back in place. Make sure the wheel is correctly tightened before using the skates.

Cleaning the bearings​

The bearings ensure that the wheels rotate freely. If you feel that the wheels are turning less smoothly, clean the bearings.

Cleaning the skates​

  • Clean your skates every now and again with a soft cloth and with a little water and neutral soap.
  • Use as little water as possible and do not wet the metal parts: screws, bearings, etc.
  • You can wash the insoles in the washing machine by using a normal 30ºc program with detergent.
  • Dry the insoles in the air away from sources of heat. Put the insoles back, taking care that the right and left insoles go into the corresponding shoes
