ASSEMBLY:
• Remove stroller from box. The front wheel, rear wheels, footrest and parent
tray need to be installed prior to use.
• To attach the front wheel, unfold stroller as described in the section
following. See figure 1.
Lean the stroller backwards so that it rests on the handle and rear axle frame
and the front wheel forks are pointing upward.
Figure 1.
The front wheel features a quick release attachment system (See figure 3).
The front swivel wheel can be locked and unlocked by switching the lever
up and down. See figure 3a. Slide the front wheel onto the front forks. See
figure 2. The quick release must be loose enough for the wheel to slide on
and the wheel lever must be in the open position (see figure 6). Line up the
tab on the Holding Plate with the slot on the fork plate. With the wheel in
position, tighten the finger nut on the axle until it is very close to contacting
the fork. See figure 4. Rotate the lever to the closed position as shown in
figure 5. To open lever see figure 6. You should feel significant resistance
when closing the lever and the wheel should be held tightly. If you do not,
open the lever and tighten the finger nut a bit more and close the lever again.
Continue to do this until the wheel is held tightly in the fork.
• The front footrest is secured to the frame by the 4 screws provided. Line
up the holes on the plastic fender with the holes on the frame to secure. See
figure 7a. Line up the front footrest and press onto the front frame assembly.
Insert the 4 screws through the underside of the front frame assembly into
the front footrest's plastic tubes. Tighten the screws only until snug. See
figure 7b.

• Lean the stroller forward to rest on the front wheel. To attach the rear
wheels, push each wheel's axle into the plastic corner fitting as shown in
figure 8. Lift upward on the plastic lever on the inside of the corner fitting
as you push the axle into corner fitting. When the wheel will not go on
any farther, release the lever. Check that the wheel has locked into the
corner fitting by pulling on the wheel. If not locked, lift upward on the
lever, push the wheel on farther and release lever.

SEATBACK POSITIONING
• The seat has a multiple position recline that is controlled by a cord and spring
loaded adjuster behind the seat. To recline the seat, pull back on the adjuster while
holding the 2 cords. See figure 13. To place the seat back in a more upright position,
grab the adjuster with one hand and pull the loop to the desired position with the
other hand. See figure 14. The cord will lock automatically.
The upright position should be used only for a child that is at least 6 months
old. Always re-adjust the safety harness, including the shoulder belts, when
repositioning the seatback.
Figure 13.
BRAKES
WARNING:Always set brakes when the
stroller is not being pushed so that the stroller will not
roll away. Never leave stroller unattended on a hill or
incline as the stroller may slide down the hill.
• To engage brakes, apply light downward pressure to the brake lever located on
each rear wheel. The stroller may require slight forward or rearward movement
in order to line up the teeth on the brake with each wheel brake cluster. See
figure 15. Check that the stroller will not move and that both brakes are properly
applied. To release, gently lift up on the brake lever.
Figure 14.
CANOPY
• The canopy features a ratchet system that allows the canopy to be moved forward
or back to block the sun or wind. To adjust the canopyʼs position, push forward
or backward on the canopy until the canopy is in the desired position. See figure

Your jogging stroller has two safety features for use when you are jogging
with your child:
1. Always connect the safety strap to either wrist when jogging. This strap
will keep the stroller from rolling away in the event that you trip while
running. See figure 17. The safety strap must remain connected to the
rear lower frame cross member at all times. This location is intended to
prevent the stroller being tipped backward in the event that you do fall to
the ground. The safety strap includes a Velcro attachment for storage, on
the left side of the stroller, when not in use. See figure 18.
2. Always lock the front swivel wheel of your jogging stroller before you
begin to jog. Please see figure 18a.

CAUTION: Before you begin to jog make sure the front swivel wheel of
the jogging stroller is locked in the straight position.
TO FOLD STROLLER:
Unlock
• 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. Please
see figure 19. 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. See figure
20.
Figure 18a.
Figure 19.
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. See figure
21.
Lock
• Lift up on the stroller handle with both hands until the stroller frame is
erect and locked in the open position. See figure 22. 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.
Figure 20.
TIRES:
• Tires are shipped un-inflated. The tires should be inflated on a regular
basis to between 20 to 25 pounds of air pressure. Always use a bicycle
style hand air pump to inflate the tires.

Trouble Shooting
Stroller pulls to one side:
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 instruc-
tions 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 min-
ute 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
(800) 328-7363 for assistance.
Flat tire:
The jogging stroller features bicycle tires to allow for extended wear and ease of pushing. Just like a bicycle tire,
the jogging stroller can suffer from flat tires. If you have a flat tire, you can use a standard bicycle tire repair kit to
repair the tire or you can take the tire to a bicycle shop for repair. If you experience numerous flat tires, you may
want to purchase thorn proof inner tubes for the jogging stroller. These can be purchased at bicycle stores or at
many national retail stores. The correct size to purchase is shown on the sidewall of the tire.
