BOB Duallie MA0501A - Manual (Page 4)

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
(Fig. 10) by
squeezing the
brake pads against
the wheel with one
hand, then rotate
the brake quick
release lever in the
counter clockwise
direction with your
other hand until it
points downward.
To set the parking
brake, squeeze the
brake lever and
press and hold the
button down, then
release lever (Fig.
13 &14). When the
brake is properly
set, the button will
remain depressed
and the lever will
appear as shown
in Fig. 14. To
release the parking
brake, simply
squeeze the brake lever and the button will “pop” up. For the parking
brake to work correctly, it is critical that the brake be adjusted properly.
Squeeze the brake lever and verify that the brake pads contact the
rim as shown in Fig. 16. If they are misaligned, use a 10mm wrench
to loosen brake pad 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). To adjust cable
tension, there are two barrel adjusters in the brake assembly (Fig. 10
&13). To tighten the cable, loosen the lock ring and turn the barrel
adjuster in the counter clockwise direction. Secure the barrel adjuster
in the new position by tightening the lock ring against the caliper or
brake lever body. There should be a 3/16”(5mm) clearance between
the rim and brake pads as shown in Fig. 15. If gap is not equal on
each brake pad, you can reposition the brake on the frame by
loosening the 10 mm nut (Fig. 16) with a 10mm wrench, adjust to the
gap shown in Fig. 15 and retighten the same nut. If you do not
understand these instructions, or feel the brake is adjusted incorrectly,
take the stroller to your dealer for proper adjustment. If your brake
pads (Fig. 10) are worn, see your dealer for replacements.
8. AFOD: With the stroller
in the fully open position
(Fig. 1), attach the AFOD
(Anti-Fly-Out-Device)
around the cross tube with
the plastic buckle (Fig. 17).
It is important that the AFOD
is always properly secured
when using the stroller, as
it is part of the child’s seat
restraint system. It is,
however, necessary to
release the AFOD in order
to fold the stroller.
9. SUN CANOPY: The Duallie
features an independantly
adjustable two position sun
canopy for each seat. To fully
open a canopy, rotate the
assembly forward until the fabric
is taut. The rear canopy flap
should be freed from the Velcro
to give additional sun protection.
To reduce the size of a sun
canopy, pull the canopy toward
the handlebar. The additional
fabric can be gathered by pulling
the canopy drawstring (Fig. 1) and
securing the cord lock.
10. SEAT TENSIONING: The
seat compartments are divided by
a section of nylon webbing that
runs the length of the stroller. From
time to time it may be necessary
to increase the tension of the
webbing. To adjust the tension
start with handlebar in the fully
open position as shown in Fig 3.
At the top center of the seat the
webbing loops over the handlebar
cross tube and connects to a
ladderlock buckle. Under the
ladderlock buckle there is a
tensioning strap. Pull on this strap
to increase the tension.
11. SEAT SAFETY HARNESS:
Set parking brake before placing
child in stroller. To secure your
child in the seat, put one shoulder
strap over each shoulder and snap
the male buckle into the female
receiver on the crotch strap (Fig.
18). Adjust shoulder straps to be
snug and secure (Fig. 19).
Connect and adjust the sternum
strap (red), see Fig. 20.
WARNING: Never place
passengers in the stroller without
securing them in the harness.
Unrestrained passengers can
affect the control of the stroller.
Passenger weight limit - 50 lbs (22.5 kg) per seat.
Passenger height limit - 44 in. (112 cm)
12. RECLINING SEAT: Set parking brake before making any seat
adjustments. To recline the seat,
rotate the ladder lock buckles
(Fig. 21) forward thus releasing
the reclining straps. To raise the
seat, pull the reclining strap
loops until you obtain the
desired position. The seat
back can be adjusted to
recline anywhere between
the fully upright position
and the fully reclined
position (Fig. 21 & 22).
13. SHOCK ABSORBERS:
The suspension system
features two shock positions to
provide a comfortable ride for kids of different weights. The two
positions are shown in Fig. 2. Position 1 is intended for total loads
up to 50 lbs. (22.5 kg), while position 2 is intended for total loads from
50 to 100 lbs. (22.5 to 45 kg).
The Duallie features a sliding
track and spring loaded shock
pin that automatically locks in
place when it aligns with either
of the two shock positions.
Shock position adjustments
should be made with the
stroller unloaded. The shock
will lock into position 1 when
unfolding the stroller. To use
the stiffer shock position, move
the shock from position 1 to
position 2 by depressing the
shock release button (Fig. 2) with
one hand, and with the other hand, lift slightly and pull the shock
backward. When the shock pin is properly aligned in position 2, the
pin will “snap” into place. Repeat this process for
the second shock. To move the shock from
position 2 to position 1, reverse the above
process for both shocks.
14. FOLDING: Remove
children from stroller.
Remove the contents of
the Low Boy cargo
pouch. Unbuckle the
AFOD strap (Fig. 17). The
shock absorbers must be in
position 1 (Fig. 2) before folding.
Press both the right and left
handlebar release
levers (Fig. 3), and fold
the handlebar forward
as shown in Fig. 23.
Locate the frame
release handle
underneath the seat
(Fig. 24) and pull
upwards sharply. This
will allow the lower
frame to fold together,
as shown in Fig. 25.
The folded stroller can
be made even more
compact by removing
the front and rear wheels. To remove the front wheel, open the brake
quick release (Fig. 10), open front wheel quick release, then pull the
wheel forward (see section 6). Note that it is often easier to open the
brake quick release before you fold the handlebar. The rear wheels
are removed by opening the rear wheel quick release (Fig. 4), and
pulling each wheel directly to the side.
The Wrist Safety Strap can be used to lock the stroller in the folded
position for transport and storage. With the stroller folded, loop the
end of the wrist strap around the handlebar and back to the cross
tube and fix the Velcro surfaces together (Fig. 26).
15. TIRE PRESSURE: IMPORTANT: Check tire pressure before
every use. Keep all tires inflated to pressure specified on plastic rim
or within the range embossed on the sidewall of the tire (usually 25-
35 p.s.i.)
16. STROLLER CARE and MAINTENANCE: The fabric is 100%
polyester with a stain resistant treatment that makes cleanup easy.
Use a sponge with a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water
(maximum temperature of 100 deg. F / 38 deg. C). Rinse thoroughly
with clean water to remove soap then air dry. Do not use detergent.
Regular maintenance should include: Verifying tire pressure, verifying
that all screws and fasteners are tight, and wiping parts clean with a
rag. To reduce the possibility of squeaks, periodically apply a small
amount of lubricant (Triflow, 3-in-one, or light sewing machine oil) to
the pivot axles and interior faces of the pivot brackets, as shown in
Fig. 27.
STORAGE: It is best
to store your stroller
indoors when it is not in
use. This will prolong its
attractive appearance.
Extended exposure to
the sun's ultraviolet rays
can fade and damage
the fabric, tires, and
plastic parts
CARGO: The Duallie is
equipped with four small
pockets for the kids, a seatback
pocket behind each seat and a
Low Boy cargo pouch under the stroller. Adding weight to the seatback
changes the center of gravity of the stroller, and increases the possibility
that it will tip over backwards. For this reason, loads in the seatback
pocket should never exceed two pounds (1 kg.). Although the seatback
is padded, it is important to remember that this is what your child leans
against. Never place sharp or injurious objects into the seatback
pocket. Maximum load for Low Boy is 10 lbs (5.5 kg).
