WARNING

Test for wheel retention

8. Do these two tests to ensure that you have adequately

performed these procedures:

• Pick the front of the jogging stroller off of the ground, and give

the top of the front tire a sharp downward blow (Fig. 31). The wheel
should not come off, be loose, or move from side to side. If
uncertain, repeat the tightening process, as shown in Steps 2-6 of
these instructions.

• With the quick release lever properly adjusted and in a closed

position, you will not be able to rotate the quick release lever in a
circular motion parallel to the wheel (as opposed to the flipping
motion used to open and close the quick release lever- see Fig. 32).

9. For the rear wheel, test for a secure attachment by

attempting to pull the rear hub axle from the axle tube (Fig. 33).
You should not be able to pull the axle from the tube.

Lubrication

Lubricate spring clips once a month. Apply a drop of synthetic

lube or a similar light oil where the spring clip pin goes through
the axle tube (Fig. 30).

Regrease wheel bearings every year. This requires special tools

and training, so should only be done by your Chariot dealer.

Lubricate quick releases once a year. Apply several drops of

light oil where the quick release lever rotates in the quick
release body.

Failure to have wheel quick release retention mechanisms properly
adjusted and closed, may cause loss of control resulting in personal
injury. If you have any questions about the operation of this system,
consult your Chariot dealer.
