WARNING:

Care must be

taken when folding and unfolding

the stroller to prevent finger

entrapment.

TO FOLD STROLLER

Close the canopy as described in the canopy

section. Recline seat by releasing buckle as

described in seatback positioning section.
The stroller is folded by simultaneously pulling

each trigger fold. (Fig. 23) When the fold latches

are released, the handle will begin to fall toward

the floor. Release the fold buttons and press

downward on the stroller handle until the stroller

is completely folded. Secure the stroller in the

folded position by hooking the fold latch, located

on the right side of the stroller, over the rivet that

protrudes from the frame.(Fig. 24)

WARNING:

Care must be

taken when folding and unfolding

the stroller to prevent finger

entrapment.

TO UNFOLD STROLLER

Stand the stroller on the ground with all three

wheels touching the ground. Release the folding

latch, which is located on the right side. (Fig. 25)
Lift up on the stroller handle with both hands until

the stroller frame is erect and locked in the open

position. (Fig. 26) The stroller has spring-loaded

latches on both sides of the frame. Test that both

latches are fully engaged prior to placing your

child in the stroller.

STROLLER PULLS TO ONE SIDE:

TYPE 1: FIXED FRONT WHEEL

The fixed front wheel jogging stroller is unusual

in that it has no swiveling front wheel. Therefore,

the stroller may at times feel like it is pulling to

one side. This problem can have two different

causes, either individually or in combination.

Please perform the following steps in their

numbered order.
1. The stroller is sensitive to the air pressure in

the tires. If the rear tires do not have equal

pressure, the stroller will feel like it is pulling

to the side with the tire with the lower tire

pressure. Check that the rear tires have the

same pressure. Add air pressure to a maximum

of 25 pounds using a BICYCLE STYLE

HAND AIR PUMP.

2. The alignment of the front wheel of the stroller

can also cause the stroller to pull to one side.

The stroller is designed so that the front wheel

can be adjusted to correct for any alignment

problem. Page 3 of the instructions shows an

expanded view of the front fork assembly. To

align the front wheel, first loosen the wheel

via the quick release handle as in step 2 of the

instructions. Grab the front wheel directly in

front of the stroller and push the wheel in the

opposite direction of the pulling problem. You

will notice that the axle will move within the

slot on the fork. Move the wheel to the side

a small amount. Retighten the quick release

handle. Give the empty stroller a push across

an empty smooth surface (let go of the handle)

and note if the stroller now runs straight.

Re-adjust the axle a small amount at a time

until the stroller runs straight. Please note

that a very minute movement of the axle will

affect the tracking of the stroller. Once you

have aligned the front wheel, you can mark

the holding plate position with a marking pen

if you detach the front wheel on a regular

basis. Please note that the hole in the fork is

designed to allow the stroller to be adjusted

to pull to the right, go straight, or pull to the

left. If you continue to have difficulty with

tracking, please call our customer service

department at 1-800-328-7363 for assistance.

CALIPER BRAKE DOES NOT SLOW THE

STROLLER DOWN:

The jogging stroller is equipped with a bicycle

style caliper brake to assist you in slowing

the stroller. It is designed with a quick release

lever for ease in detaching the front wheel of

the stroller. If you are experiencing inadequate

slowing when applying the hand brake, please

review the drawing below in the instruction

manual to ensure that the quick release lever

is in the down position (i.e. facing the front of

the stroller). If the quick release lever is in the

closed position and you are still experiencing a

braking problem, the brake cable tension needs

to be adjusted. This is accomplished in two

different ways. If the brake is slowing the stroller

slightly, the cable tension can be fine tuned via

the tension nut located on the end of the brake

cable just above the caliper. Turn the tension nut

counter clockwise to increase tension. If at the

maximum adjustment of the tension nut you still

do not have adequate braking, you will need to

adjust the length of the brake cable. To adjust the

length of the cable, first return the tension nut to

its factory setting by turning it clockwise until

it stops. Loosen the cable clamp nut that holds

the brake cable to the brake caliper. Squeeze

the caliper together so that the brake pads are

just touching the rim of the front wheel. Pull

the cable through the cable clamp nut until the

slack is removed. Retighten the cable clamp

nut. Retest the braking and fine tune the tension

via the tension nut until adequate slowing is

achieved. Please keep in mind that the brakes are

designed to be adjustable in order to compensate

for the wearing of the brake pads over time. If

you experience difficulty, please call our customer

service department at 1-800-328-7363 for

assistance. Also, most bicycle shops can quickly

perform this adjustment for you.
Reverse steps if brakes are too tight.
