Assembly Instructions

IMPORTANT: Adult assembly is required. Follow instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.

Remove stroller from box. The front wheel, rear wheels, fender, and parent tray need to be installed prior to use.

Front Wheel Installation

WARNING: This wheel utilizes a front wheel double nut locking system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

1. Lean the stroller backwards so that it rests on the handle and rear axle frame, with the front wheel forks pointing upward (as shown in Figure 1).
2. Slide the front wheel onto the front forks (as shown in Figure 2).
3. Slide the retainer plate onto the front wheel. Ensure the raised lip points toward the fork and insert it into the slot on the fork. Align the tab on the retainer plate with the slot before tightening the wheel (as shown in Figure 3).
4. Install the axel nuts and tighten with a wrench until significant resistance is felt and the wheel is held tightly in place (as shown in Figure 4).
5. Testing: Lift the front wheel off the ground and sharply strike the top of the tire. The wheel should not be loose or come off (as shown in Figure 5).
6. If the front wheel wobbles excessively, adjust the front wheel housing nut located under the footrest. Tighten with a wrench, but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, as this can damage the wheel housing (as shown in Figure 6).

Fender Installation

1. Examine the bottom of the front fender; you will see four 1/4 inch diameter plastic tubes (Figure 7a).
2. Line up these tubes with the holes in the front frame assembly (Figure 7b).
3. Align the front fender and press it onto the front frame assembly (Figure 7c).
4. Insert the 4 screws through the underside of the front frame assembly into the plastic tubes of the front fender. Tighten screws until snug, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN (Figure 7d).

Rear Wheel Installation

1. Lean the stroller forward to rest on the front wheel.
2. To attach the rear wheels, push each wheel's axle into the plastic corner fitting. Depress the metal lever on the inside of the corner fitting as you push the axle in. Release the lever once the wheel is fully seated. Check that the wheel is locked by pulling on it. If not locked, lift the lever, push the wheel further, and release the lever (as shown in Figure 8).
3. Ensure wheels are firmly locked into place. NEVER use the stroller if wheels are not locked. Contact customer service immediately if wheels are not secure.

Parent Tray Installation

1. Align the fittings on the ends of the parent tray with the fittings on the outsides of the handle. Hook the hole in the parent tray. Pull outward on the opposite end while pushing down on the tray until it locks onto the stroller handle (as shown in Figure 9). Be careful not to pinch fingers during installation.
2. To remove the parent tray, pull outward on one end while lifting upward.

Canopy Operation

1. To open the canopy: Push forward on the front edge of the canopy while holding the rear in place (Figure 10).
2. To fold the canopy: Pull backward on the front edge (Figure 11).

Child Tray Installation (if equipped)

1. Insert the tray clip into the fitting on the stroller's fold joint. Check that the tray clip locks into place (Figure 12a).
2. Push the angled tray onto the post at the end of the right armrest, pressing down on the snap button until locked. Rotate the tray downward until latched onto the left armrest. Ensure the snap button comes through and securely latches the tray (Figure 12b).
3. To access the child seat: Press inward on the left side tray release button and rotate upward on the tray (Figure 13a).
4. To remove the child tray: Press the release button, rotate the tray 180 degrees, and pull the tray until it releases (Figure 13b).

Infant Car Seat Installation (if equipped)

1. Turn car seat support tabs on the stroller frame (Figure 14a). Ensure the front child tray is firmly attached to the stroller armrests.
2. Position the infant car seat so it faces toward the rear of the stroller, with the seat shell fitting into the front tray and latching into place (Figure 14b).
3. When the infant car seat is locked firmly, strap the single short clip over the infant car seat through the seat belt slots on the car seat. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE SHORT CLIP IS ALWAYS TIGHTLY FASTENED AROUND THE INFANT CAR SEAT (Figure 15).
4. To remove the Infant Car Seat, squeeze the release handle at the foot-end of the seat and carefully lift upward on the seat (Figure 16).

Safety Guidelines

Before placing your children in the stroller, please follow these instructions.

General Safety

• ⚠️ Always check with your pediatrician for a recommended starting age/weight for your baby in an all-terrain stroller.
• ⚠️ Always set brakes when the stroller is not being pushed so that it will not roll away. NEVER leave the stroller unattended on a hill or incline, as it may slide down.

Brakes

To engage brakes: Apply light downward pressure to the brake lever on each rear wheel. You may need slight forward or rearward movement to align the brake teeth with the wheel brake cluster (Figure 17). Check that the stroller will not move and that both brakes are properly applied. To release, gently lift up on the brake lever.

Front Wheel Lock

WARNING: Always lock the front swivel wheel in the STRAIGHT position before placing or removing your children from the jogger.

The swivel jogger has a front wheel locking device. Figure 18a shows a remote release lever under the right side handle (pull to disengage, push to engage). Figure 18b shows a vertical locking mechanism.

Securing the Child (5-Point Harness)

The shoulder straps have 3 attachment positions. Select the position that places the shoulder strap level with, or below, the child's shoulder (Figure 19a).

Carefully place the child in the seat. Bring the safety harness around the child's waist and over the shoulders. Place the crotch strap between the child's legs. Insert the male ends of the shoulder/waist belts into the buckle on the crotch strap. Tighten the harness to be snug around the child's waist and over the child's shoulders (Figure 19b).

To release the child: Push the Red Button on the Center Clasp; the two harness buckles will pop free (Figure 20).

To release harness clips: Apply pressure to both sides of each male clip until it releases. This requires moderate effort to prevent accidental release by the child (Figure 21).

Seatback Positioning

The seat has multiple recline positions controlled by a strap and buckle assembly behind the seat (Figure 22a). To recline, loosen the strap through the buckle and adjust to the desired position (Figure 22b). To place the seat in a more upright position, press upward on the seat back with one hand while pulling the strap through the buckle with the other. The strap locks automatically.

The upright position should only be used for a child at least 6 months old. Always readjust the safety harness, including shoulder belts, when repositioning the seatback.

Jogging with Your Stroller

When jogging with your child, use these safety features:

• LOCK THE FRONT SWIVEL WHEEL IN STRAIGHT POSITION.
• Always connect the safety wrist strap to your wrist when jogging. This strap prevents the stroller from rolling away if you trip. The strap must remain connected to the rear lower frame cross member at all times to prevent tipping backward if you fall. The strap includes a Velcro attachment for storage when not in use (Figures 23a, 23b).

Maintenance and Tires

Tires

Tires are shipped un-inflated and should be inflated regularly to between 20 to 25 p.s.i. Always use a bicycle-style hand air pump.

Tire Pump (if equipped): Remove flexible air hose, attach brass fitting, thread air nozzle onto valve stem. Hold pump body, pull back handle, then push handle to inflate tire. Repeat until tire reaches 20 p.s.i. (Figure 24).

Wheel Adjustment

Three-wheel vehicles can be influenced to deviate from a straight line due to factors like uneven tire pressure, improper wheel installation, road conditions, or manufacturing tolerances. If your stroller pulls significantly to the left or right on flat terrain, follow the instructions on page 9 to realign the front wheel.

Flat Tire

The stroller features bicycle tires for durability and ease of pushing. Like bicycle tires, they can go flat. Use a standard bicycle tire repair kit or take the tire to a bicycle shop for repair. If you experience frequent flat tires, consider purchasing thorn-proof inner tubes, available at bicycle stores or retail outlets. The correct size is indicated on the tire sidewall.

Folding and Unfolding

To Fold Stroller

WARNING: Care must be taken when folding and unfolding the stroller to prevent finger entrapment.

1. Close the canopy and recline the seat as described in previous sections.
2. Simultaneously pull each trigger fold. When fold latches release, the handle will fall. Release the fold buttons and press downward on the stroller handle until completely folded. Secure the folded stroller by locking the fold latch over the frame rivet (Figures 25a, 25b).

To Unfold Stroller

1. Stand the stroller on the ground with all three wheels touching the ground. Release the folding latch on the right side (Figure 26a).
2. Lift the stroller handle with both hands until the frame is erected and locked in the open position. Ensure spring-loaded latches on both sides are fully engaged before placing your child in the stroller (Figure 26b).
