Installation advice

Check the backrest mounting is secure before each use by ensuring the 4 wing nuts are firmly tightened. On steep slopes, the backrest can be removed for a lying position that reduces air resistance. Store the sledge in a dry place off-season — avoid prolonged moisture, which can cause the beech wood to swell. Oil the metal runners at the end of the season to prevent rust.

Care and protection

Dry the sledge after use before storing — do not store when wet. Lightly oil the metal runners with a light mineral oil at the end of the season. Check annually that all joints are tight and that the backrest wing nuts are in good condition. Light sanding with 180-grit paper followed by a wood oil preserves the beech from one season to the next.

Frequently asked questions

Can the backrest be left on permanently or must it be removed for storage?

The backrest can remain in place for storage. Removal is only useful to adjust the riding position (lying flat) or for flat storage in a very confined space.

Is this sledge suitable for an adult weighing exactly 70 kg?

The maximum load of 70 kg is the structural limit. For regular safe use, keep the user weight slightly below this (65 kg maximum recommended) to preserve the joints over the long term.

What is the difference between this sledge and the metal sledge?

The sledge has a foldable plastic backrest secured by wing nuts, making it lighter. The sledge (LU082) has metal footrests and comes in 4 colours, with no removable backrest. The choice depends on the intended use: comfort and backrest (1053) vs colourful design and footrests (1054).

Can the metal runners glide on compacted snow and on powder snow?

Yes. Metal runners are effective on both types of snow. On heavily compacted snow or light ice, glide is at its best. On deep powder, the runners sink slightly but the sledge remains manoeuvrable.
