BOB Duallie - Manual (Page 2)

fender mounting
screws, see Fig 5.
You may wish to
remove a fabric
screw (right or left)
to give better
access to the cross
tube fender screw.
Align the hole in the
metal tab of the
fender with the
threaded hole in the
center of the front
cross tube and
install screw, see
Fig. 6.
Align the hole in the
plastic fender with
the small hole in the
brake mounting
plate and install
screw, see Fig. 6.
Center fender on
stroller and tighten
both screws.
FRONT WHEEL:
Fig. 7 shows the
anatomy of the front wheel quick release. To install the quick release
remove the plastic axle caps from the axle of the wheel.
Remove the adjust nut and one spring from the quick release, and
install the quick release rod into the wheel axle. Install the spring
(small end towards the center of the wheel) and screw on the adjust
nut by turning
in a clockwise
direction.
Tighten the nut
only three turns
(final adjust-
ment will be
made after the
wheel is
installed).
Open the brake
quick release
as shown in Fig. 8 by squeezing the brake pads together with your
right hand, and pulling down and then rotating the quick release lever
in the clock-wise direction with your left hand.
The Duallie's drop
outs, Fig. 9, are
slotted to receive
the axle of the
wheel. Slide the
wheel into the
dropouts so that
the quick release
lever is on the right
hand side as you
face the stroller.
Make sure the
wheel is centered
in the frame and
that the axle is
touching the back
of the drop out slot.
The quick release is NOT a nut and bolt system. It is a cam-activated
tightening mechanism. Securely tighten the quick release as follows:
Turn the quick release lever to a 90 degree angle to the dropout, Fig.
10. Keep the quick release lever from turning while you hand tighten
the adjusting nut by turning it in the clockwise direction until it comes
in contact with the stroller dropout. Turn the quick release lever
towards the rear of the stroller to the closed position, Fig. 11. The
word CLOSE should be clearly visible and the quick release lever
should be parallel to the stroller
frame tube. It should require
considerable pressure to close the
lever when it is properly adjusted.
If you do not feel this resistance,
turn the quick release lever back
to the adjusting position, Fig. 10.
Hand tighten the adjusting nut by
one or two more turns in the
clockwise direction. Move the quick
release lever toward the closed
position, Fig. 11. When properly
adjusted, it requires 80-105 inch -
pounds of pressure to move the
lever to the fully closed position.
NOTE: Follow all instructions
exactly. If you are unsure how to
operate the quick release, consult
your dealer.
PARKING BRAKE: The brake is
a parking brake, it prevents the
stroller from moving while loading
and unloading it. The parking brake
is not
designed as
a stopping
brake. We
do not
recommend
using the
brake to
stop the
stroller
when it is
moving. The
brake is
intended to
park the stroller on flat surfaces not on inclines. Never leave your
children in the stroller unattended with or without the parking brake
set! After installing the front wheel, the brake caliper will need to be
placed in the closed position. Close the brake quick release, as shown
in Fig. 8, by squeezing the brake pads against the wheel with your
right hand and rotating the brake quick release lever in the counter
clock-wise direction with your left hand until it points downward.
To set the parking
brake, squeeze the
brake lever and
depress the button
shown in Fig. 12 then
release lever. When
the brake is properly
set, the button will
remain depressed and
the lever will appear
as shown in Fig. 13.
To release the parking
brake, squeeze the
brake lever and note
how button “pops” up.
For the parking brake
to work correctly, it is
critical that the brake
be adjusted properly. Proper adjustment includes three main points:
1) that the pads contact the rim correctly, 2) that the brake is centered
on the frame, and 3) that the distance from the pads to the rim is
about 3/16 of an inch as shown in Fig. 14. Squeeze the brake lever
and verify that the brake pads contact the rim as shown in Fig. 15.
If they are misaligned, use a 10mm wrench to loosen brake nuts, slide
pads into correct position and tighten securely. The cable tension is
pre-adjusted at the factory yet the brake cable will need periodic
adjustment (as the cable stretches slightly and the black cable housing
compresses over time). (OVER)
