BOB OMS05A - Manual (Page 2)

AGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
We do not recommend that children under 8 weeks old be placed in the stroller seat.
For jogging and off road use, we recommend that children not be younger than 8 months
old. Young babies incapable of holding their head up must be provided additional head
and neck support to ride safely.
Children develop at different rates. Consult with your pediatrician regarding the suitability
of stroller use with your child.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Reference Fig. 1 as it describes various parts of the stroller.

This Owner’s Manual
1. UNPACK:
Remove stroller and stroller wheels from packaging. Plastic packaging material was
used to protect the front fork dropouts, the front wheel axle quick release, handlebar
release levers and the metal shock brackets. Remove and discard packaging material
to avoid choking and suffocation hazards.
2. SWING ARM:
Rotate the swing arm away from the front of the stroller until the shocks engage in the
first position (Fig. 2). Each shock locking pin will “snap” and lock into position 1.
3. HANDLEBAR:
Rotate the stroller handlebar up to the fully open position. Make sure Slider Latches
lock into place as shown in Fig 3.
4. REAR WHEEL:
Prior to installing the rear wheels, position the brake bar in the Unlocked position as
shown in Fig. 15. Place the rear wheel quick release cam lever in the open position,
as shown in Fig. 4. Insert the rear wheel’s stub axle into the hole in the rear dropout.
If the axle does not slide in easily, loosen the quick release tension adjusting nut (Fig.
4) by hand. Re-insert the axle fully into the rear dropout until the axle shoulder or snap
ring on the axle comes in contact with the dropout (Fig. 5). Move the quick release cam
lever to the closed position (Fig. 6). The word CLOSE should be clearly visible and the
quick release cam lever should almost touch the dropout. When properly adjusted, it
will require considerable force (37-50lbs or 165-222N) to close the lever. If you do not
feel this resistance (too loose or too tight), return the quick release cam lever back to
the open position (Fig. 4), and adjust the tension adjusting nut (clockwise to tighten,
counterclockwise to loosen). Move the quick release cam lever to the closed position
(Fig. 6).
WARNING: Failure to properly adjust quick release may result in wheel loss and
serious personal injury. If you are unsure how to operate the quick release, consult
your dealer or call BOB.
5. FRONT WHEEL:
It’s important to your safety, performance and enjoyment to understand how the front
wheel quick release works on your stroller. We urge you to ask your dealer how to
perform the steps described in this section before you attempt them yourself, and that
you have your dealer check your work before you use the stroller. If you have even the
slightest doubt as to whether you understand something in this section of the Manual,
talk to your dealer, place of purchase, or BOB before use.
Wheel Quick Release
WARNING: Strolling with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can allow
the wheel to wobble or fall off the stroller, which can cause serious injury or death.
Therefore, it is essential that you:
.
Ask your dealer to help you make sure you know how to install and remove your
wheels safely.
.
Understand and apply the correct technique for clamping your wheel in place with
a quick release.
.
Each time, before you use the stroller, check that the wheels are securely clamped.
The wheel quick release uses a cam action to clamp the stroller wheel in place (Fig.
7). Because of its adjustable nature, it is critical that you understand how it works, how
to use it properly, and how much force you need to apply to secure the wheel.
WARNING: The full force of the cam action is needed to clamp the wheel securely.
Holding the nut with one hand and turning the lever like a wing nut with the other
hand until everything is as tight as you can get it will not clamp the wheel safely
in the dropouts.
Adjusting the quick release mechanism
The wheel hub is clamped in place by the force of the quick release cam pushing against
