Assembly tips

Check that the backrest is securely attached before each use, making sure all 4 wing screws are tight. On steep slopes, the backrest can be removed to allow a lying position that reduces air resistance. Store the sledge in a dry place out of season – avoid constant 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 putting it away – do not store it damp. Lightly oil the metal runners with a light mineral oil at the end of the season. Check the tightness of the joints and the condition of the backrest wing screws annually. Light sanding with 180-grit abrasive followed by wood oil helps preserve the beech from one season to the next.

Frequently asked questions

Can the backrest stay attached, or must it be removed for storage?

The backrest can remain in place during storage. Removing it is only useful to change how the sledge is used, such as for a lying position, or to store it flat in a very tight space.

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

The maximum load of 70 kg is the structural limit. For safe, regular use, a slightly lower user weight is preferable (65 kg maximum recommended) to preserve the joints over time.

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

This sledge has a lighter plastic backrest that folds down using wing screws. The sledge (LU082) has metal footrests and comes in 4 colours, without a removable backrest. The choice depends on how you want to use it: comfort and a backrest (1053) versus colourful design and footrests (1054).

Do the metal runners glide on both compacted snow and powder?

Yes. The metal runners work on both types of snow. They glide best on very compacted snow or light ice. In deep powder, the runners sink slightly, but the sledge remains manoeuvrable.
