Trouble Shooting, Stroller pulls to one side

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Stroller pulls to one side:

The jogging stroller is unusual in that it has no swiveling front wheels. Therefore, the stroller may at times feel like it is pulling to one side. This problem can have two different causes, either individually or in combination. Please perform the following steps in their numbered order.

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.

Caliper Brake does not slow the stroller down: Reverse steps if brakes are too tight

The jogging stroller is equipped with a bicycle style caliper brake to assist you in slowing the stroller. It is de- signed with a quick release lever for ease in detaching the front wheel of the stroller. If you are experiencing inadequate slowing when applying the hand brake, please review the drawing below in the instruction manual to ensure that the quick release lever is in the down position (i.e. facing the front of the stroller). If the quick release lever is in the closed position and you are still experiencing a braking problem, the brake cable tension needs to be adjusted. This is accomplished in two different ways. If the brake is slowing the stroller slightly, the cable tension can be ﬁne tuned via the tension nut located on the end of the brake cable just above the caliper. Turn the tension nut counter clockwise to increase tension. If at the maximum adjustment of the tension nut you still do not have adequate braking, you will need to adjust the length of the brake cable. To adjust the length of the cable, ﬁrst return the tension nut to its factory setting by turning it clockwise until it stops. Loosen the cable clamp nut that holds the brake cable to the brake caliper. Squeeze the caliper together so that the brake pads are just touching the rim of the front wheel. Pull the cable through the cable clamp nut until the slack is removed. Retighten the cable clamp nut. Retest the braking and ﬁne tune the tension via the tension nut until adequate slowing is achieved. Please keep in mind that the brakes are designed to be adjustable in order to compensate for the wearing of the brake pads over time. If you experience difﬁculty, please call our customer service department at (800) 328-7363 for assistance. Also, most bicycle shops can quickly perform this adjustment for you.
