HANDLE: Rotate the stroller
handle up to the fully open
position. Slider Latches will lock
into place (Fig. 3).
Never leave children unattended in the stroller.
Failure to properly assemble or install the quick release wheels on
this stroller may result in the wheels becoming detached while
moving and a subsequent loss of control of the stroller.
Always use seat harnesses to avoid serious injury to children from
sliding or falling out of stroller.
REAR WHEEL: Place the rear

Never allow occupants to stand in stroller.
The parking brake is not designed as a stopping brake. The brake
should not be used to slow or stop the stroller. The brake is intended
to park the stroller on flat surfaces, not on inclines. Never leave
your children in the stroller unattended with or without the parking
brake set!

in easily, loosen the quick release
adjuster nut (Fig. 4) by hand. Re-
insert the axle fully into the rear
dropout until the snap ring on the
axle comes in contact with the dropout (Fig. 5). Move the quick release
lever to the closed position (Fig. 6). The word CLOSE should be
clearly visible and

Do not strap parcels or bags to the handle as it affects the balance
and stability of the stroller and can cause it to tip over backwards.
The maximum carrying capacity of the stroller is 70 pounds.
Do not place sharp objects in the seatback pocket as your child
leans against this and can be injured as a result.
When starting out, always make sure that your kid’s hands and feet
are away from wheel spokes.
The stroller is not equipped for use after dark. If you intend to use
it at night, we recommend installing wheel reflectors and a lighting
system available through your local bike shop.
We do not recommend wearing roller skates or in-line skates while
pushing stroller.

AGE RECOMMENDATIONS: - It is recommended that
your child be a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks old before riding in the
stroller. Young babies incapable of holding their head up must be
provided additional head and neck support to ride safely. For jogging
and off road use, children should be at least 6 to 8 months old.
Children develop at different rates. Consult with your pediatrician
regarding the suitability of the stroller use with your child.

the brake pads contact the rim as shown in Fig. 16. If they are
misaligned, use a 10mm wrench to loosen brake pad nuts, slide pads
into correct position and tighten securely. The cable tension is pre-
adjusted at the factory yet the brake cable will need periodic adjustment
(as the cable stretches slightly and the black cable housing compresses
over time). To adjust cable tension, there are two barrel adjusters in
the brake assembly (Fig. 10 &13). To tighten the cable, loosen the
lock ring and turn the barrel adjuster in the counter clockwise direction.
Secure the barrel adjuster in the new position by tightening the lock
ring against the caliper or brake lever body. There should be a 3/16”
clearance between the rim and brake pads as shown in Fig. 15. If
gap is not equal on each brake pad, you can reposition the brake on
the frame by loosening the 10 mm nut (Fig. 16) with a 10mm wrench,
adjust to the gap shown in Fig. 15 and re-tighten the same nut. If you
do not understand these instructions, or feel the brake is adjusted
incorrectly, take the stroller to your dealer for proper adjustment. If
your brake pads (Fig. 10) are worn, see your dealer for replacements.

STROLLER ACCESSORIES
STORAGE: It is best to

store your stroller indoors
when it is not in use. This will
prolong its attractive

appearance. Extended exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can fade
and damage the fabric, tires, and plastic parts.
CARGO: The stroller

pocket and a Low Boy
cargo pouch under the
stroller. Adding weight
to the seatback
changes the center of
gravity of the stroller,
and increases the
possibility that it will tip
over backwards. For
this reason, loads in the
seatback pocket should never exceed two pounds (1 kg.). Although
the seatback is padded, it is important to remember that this is what
your child leans against. Never place sharp or injurious objects into
the seatback pocket.
