• In a clean, dry place rest the stroller upside down with
the rear legs facing upwards.

the rear legs with the link brake facing the rear of the

TO INSTALL A REAR WHEEL

• Locate a rear wheel and slide it onto the rear axle with

closest to the wheel and snap it onto the axle. See
Figure 6. Pull outward on the wheel to ensure it is
locked securely onto the axle.

you hear and feel it snap completely into position. See
