WHEELS
Before attempting to install wheels,
read and understand warnings and
instructions completely.
Using your stroller with an
improperly adjusted wheel quick
release can allow the wheel to
vibrate, wobble or become
detached from the stroller.
Accordingly, it is critical that you:
• Ask your dealer to instruct you
on the proper technique for
safely installing and removing
your wheels.
• Understand and use the proper
method for securely clamping
a wheel to the stroller using a
quick release.
• Check to make sure the wheels
are securely clamped before
each use of the stroller.
The wheel quick release is a cam
device that supplies the clamping
force required to hold the stroller
wheel securely in place. To safely
secure a wheel to the stroller, it is
critical that you understand how
the quick release works, how to
use and adjust it properly and the
amount of force necessary to safely
secure the wheel.
The quick release is a cam device
and must be used correctly to
supply the necessary clamping
force to safely hold the wheel in
place. It is not a wing nut system
and turning the lever while holding
the tension adjusting nut does not
supply the required force to
safely clamp the wheel in the
dropouts.
ADJUST QUICK RELEASE
The rear wheels are correctly
clamped in place by the force
generated when the quick release
lever is closed and the cam action
pulls the axle against the dropout,
securing it in place.
The front wheel is correctly clamped
in place by the force generated when
the quick release lever is closed
and the cam action pulls the lever
housing against one dropout, and
pulls the adjusting nut against the
other dropout, clamping the hub
between the dropouts.
The tension adjusting nut sets
the amount of clamping force.
Turning the tension adjusting nut
in the clockwise direction while
preventing the quick release lever
from rotating, increases the amount
of clamping force. Alternatively,
turning the tension adjusting nut
counterclockwise, while preventing
the quick release lever from rotating,
reduces the amount of clamping
force. The tension adjusting nut only
needs minor adjustments to provide
the correct clamping force, less than
a half turn can mean the difference
between safe and unsafe clamping
force.
REAR WHEEL INSTALLATION
1. Unlock Parking Brake
Prior to installing the rear wheels,
position the parking brake in the
unlocked position.
