Check attachment of all wheels.

This jogging stroller is equipped with quick release wheel retention mechanisms. The

quick release allows the wheel to be installed and removed without tools. For proper and
safe performance, read and follow these instructions carefully:

1. Check all wheels of your jogging stroller before every use.

Front wheel

2. For the front wheel, move the quick release lever to the

OPEN

position and

set the wheel so it firmly touches the inside of the fork ends.

3. With the lever about halfway between the

OPEN

position and the

CLOSED

position (Fig. 24), tighten the quick release adjusting nut on the opposite end of the
quick release axle until finger-tight (Fig. 25).

4. Place the quick release lever in the palm of your hand and

move the lever in a motion as shown in Figure 26. Move the lever
into the

CLOSED

position (Fig. 28). At the halfway closed

position of the quick release lever, you should start to feel some
resistance to this motion.

5. If the lever is moved to the

CLOSED

position with little or

no resistance, clamping strength is insufficient. Simply return the
lever to the

OPEN

position, tighten the quick release adjusting

nut further and close the lever, testing again for resistance. When
the quick release device is properly tightened, and clamped to the
closed position, the clamping force is adequate to cause metal

into metal engagement (embossing) of the fork surfaces.

• Do not tighten the quick release by using the
quick release lever like a wing nut (Fig. 27). This
will not result in sufficient force to hold the
wheel in place.

6. Orient the quick release lever so that it does not

interfere with any other stroller part and so that it will not
become accidentally snagged by obstacles in the path of the
jogging stroller (Fig. 28).

Rear wheel

7. Insert the rear hub axle (Fig. 29) into the axle tube (Fig. 30) until the locking

clip engages. You should hear a click as this happens, and the clip spring should sit
against the axle tube.
