Installing/Removing and using the front wheel forks

Your Runabout stroller utilizes our

unique and revolutionary new TRI-
MODE™ front swivel system:

1. To install the front fork, rotate the

TRI-MODE selection dial to the
centre (45

) position.

2. Tilt the stroller frame upward on

the rear wheels.

3. Insert the fork shaft into the TRI-

MODE housing till it “clicks” into
place.

IMPORTANT: Always test that the fork
is securely engaged in the housing.

To remove the front fork:

1. Rotate the TRI-MODE

selection dial to the centre
(45

) position.

2. Tilt the stroller frame upward

on the rear wheels.

3. Press the centre release

button. The fork will then be
released.

The unique TRI-MODE™ swivel system is as
flexible as it is functional over a variety of
terrains and uses.

1. LOCK: This position is best for use on

extremely rough or soft terrain such
as sand etc which inhibit wheel swivel.
To lock your wheel, rotate the dial to
the “LOCK” position. Swivel the wheel
around till it locks into position.

2. O

The central position locks the wheel

into a tight 45

swivel arc. This

provides more stability for use with a
toddlerseat or when going down
inclines.

3. SWIVEL: This position allows full,

unfettered swivel action.
