Stroller Assembly Instructions

Unfold Stroller: Remove from carton, and remove any packaging materials that
may be holding the frame in closed position. Grasp the handle and open the
frame. The stroller will lock into place. To ensure the stroller is locked, push the
handle down lightly. Be sure the stroller is locked in place before placing a child
in the stroller.

Rear Wheel Assembly

Grasp rear wheel in one hand, slide wheel’s axle into hole in rear of frame. Push
up on the axle release lever so that the wheel is fully inserted. Pull the wheel
firmly, the wheel should not come off if fully inserted/locked. Repeat for other
side. To release wheel push up on axle release lever and pull off wheel.

Front Wheel Assembly

Tip stroller back so that the handlebar is down on the ground and the front fork
is up. Attach the front wheel by loosening the wheel’s Quick Release (Q/R) lever
on the front wheel far enough to allow the axle to slide into the front fork. With
wheel’s Q/R lever in open position, hand tighten the cone nut until almost tight,
then flip wheel’s Q/R lever backward to the closed position to lock wheel in
place. Note this step may require minor adjustment until the Q/R lever flips back
with firm pressure. Pull outward on wheel to ensure it is locked in place.

Caution: The interior jam nuts are factory installed and do not need adjustment.

Close the front caliper brake by lowering the Q/R lever. Spin the front wheel
to make sure the brake pads do not rub and are properly aligned to the rim. If
brake pad alignment is off, loosen brake pad nut with an adjustable wrench,
align brake pad and retighten nut while holding brake pad in place.

Caution: Always be sure to reengage the brake by rotating the Q/R lever
forward (toward the front wheel) before using the stroller.

IMPORTANT

If you notice that the stroller steers to one direction you may need to adjust the
front wheel to align it. To do so loosen the front axle Q/R lever, points the front
wheel in the opposite direction the stroller is veering, and retighten the Q/R lever.
If you need help making this adjustment, please call our Customer Service
department for assistance.

stroller may automatically begin to fold, the front wheel will fold under frame and
the handle will fold backwards.

the wheel. Align the holes on the bottom side of the fender with the screws and
tighten with a Phillips screwdriver.

the canopy and below the foam hand grip.

the small loop will be on handlebar. Slide end with large loop through the small
loop, then grasp the end with the large loop and pull strap to tighten on handlebar.

Caution: Whenever child is in stroller always use the wrist strap. Before you remove
the wrist strap from your wrist make sure you first engage the rear brakes.

cogs of the wheel. Repeat on other side. To release brake, lift levers using your
toe until cogs disengage.

ends together and clip into place around child’s waist. Adjust waist and
shoulder straps for snug fit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Check fasteners after one hour of use; check all fasteners to make sure they are
secure. Adjust if necessary. Periodically check the stroller to ensure that it is in
good operating condition.

To adjust the stroller from pulling to the left or right (not rolling straight): Loosen
the front Q/R axle and point the front wheel in the opposite direction the stroller
is pulling, then tighten Q/R lever.

NOTE: Sometimes it is a very slight adjustment to eliminate the pulling and
this step may need to be repeated.

To adjust front brake caliper: If front caliper requires additional adjustment to
engage brake pads; first open Q/R brake lever, loosen the cable adjustment nut,
squeeze the brake pads together and while holding brake pads retighten cable
adjustment nut. Then close Q/R lever and check adjustment by squeezing hand
brake lever.

For micro adjustment, turn the front brake caliper’s adjusting sleeve counterclock

­wise. Once the brake pads are adjusted to the desired distance from the rim,
tighten the lock ring. You will need to adjust the cable periodically since it is
normal for the cable to stretch from use.

To clean seat and canopy: If light cleaning is required, use a soft cloth with warm
water and mild soap then air dry. Do not put in washing machine. Do not put in
dryer.

DO NOT BLEACH.

To clean frame: Wipe using a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap. Air dry.

DO NOT USE polish or abrasives.
