If the front wheel is not securely locked in place it may
fall off the jogging stroller and cause serious injury or
death. Always check the front wheel is securely locked in
place before use.
❶ Position the stroller so the handle rests on the ground, with
the front fork facing up. Figure 3.4
❷ Move the quick release lever into the open position.
❸ Set wheel into the forks, ensure the axle is properly seated,
and hand tighten the cone nut.
❹ Close the quick release lever to the fully closed locked
position. When closing the lever it should leave an imprint
on your hand. The lever should have firm but not
excessive pressure when closing.
❺ Pull on the wheel to ensure it is locked in place. If necessary
loosen the quick release lever and re-tighten the cone nut.
Re-check the wheel to be sure it is locked into place.

Incorrect brake calibration or not having the brake
engaged may cause the stroller to fail to stop and result
in serious injury or death. Always check the brakes are
functioning properly before use.
❶ Lower the brake quick release lever and close the front
brake. Figure 3.5
❷ Spin the wheel and make sure the brake pads do not rub and
are correctly aligned.
❸ If the alignment is not correct then loosen the brake pad nut,
spin the wheel and align the brake pad. After correctly
aligning the brake, hold the brake pad in place and re-tighten
the brake pad nut.
❹ If the brake pads are rubbing against the wheel, turn the
barrel adjuster a few turns.
❺ If the barrel adjuster has been turned all the way and the
pads still touch the wheel, the cable will have to be adjusted.
❻ Loosen the cable anchor nut. Using pliers, pull the loose
cable until taut and so the pads are at the correct distance.
