release adjusting nut (Fig. 4) by hand.

Re-insert the axle fully into the rear dropout until the

axle shoulder or snap ring on the

axle comes in contact with the

dropout (Fig. 5). Move the quick release lever to the closed position (Fig.

6). The word CLOSE should be clearly visible and the quick release lever should almost touch the dropout. When properly

adjusted, it will require

considerable torque

(80-105 in-lbs or 9-

12 Nm) to close the lever. If you do not feel this resistance

(too loose or too tight), return the quick release lever back to the open position (Fig. 4), and adjust the adjusting nut (clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen). Move the quick release lever to the closed position (Fig. 6).

NOTE: Follow all instructions exactly. If you are unsure how to operate

the quick release, consult your

 

 

dealer or contact BOB.

to properly adjust quick release may result in wheel loss and serious personal injury. If you are unsure how to operate the quick release, consult your dealer or call BOB.

6. SWIVEL LOCKOUT: The Revolution Stroller can be used in one of two modes. The stroller can be used as a swiveling wheel stroller (Swivel Mode) when the Lockout Knob is in the unlocked position (Fig. 10). Or, it can be used

as a fixed wheel stroller (Jog Mode) when the swivel Lockout Knob is in the locked position (Fig. 11). To

change from Swivel Mode to Jog Mode, lift and slide the Lockout

Knob (Fig. 10) up and all the way to the right. Then release the knob,

and it will snap down. Next, rotate the fork until the pin engages and locks the fork in position. You are now ready to use the stroller in Jog

Mode. To change the stroller back to Swivel Mode, lift the Lockout Knob and rotate it to the left.

It should be noted that all fixed three wheeled vehicles can be easily influenced to deviate from a straight path. In some cases strollers can have or develop a tendency to pull to the right/left due to many different factors including tire pressure, wheel installation, road conditions and manufacturing tolerances. If you find your BOB stroller to significantly track or pull to the left or right while in Jog Mode during use on flat terrain, follow the sequence of instructions below.

Tracking Adjustment Instructions:

Note: Tracking adjustment can only be performed with the stroller fork locked out (Jog Mode). Roll test the stroller as described below. It is recommended you have someone assist with this task in order to catch and return the stroller. Fig. 12 illustrates the roll test process. a. Empty the stroller. Do not roll test with a child or any occupant in the stroller.

b. Find a location on level ground approximately 16 ft. long. It is helpful to use an existing straight-line as a frame of reference such as the edge of the sidewalk or a painted line in a playground.

c. Align the stroller so the rear wheel axles are perpendicular to the straight line. Push and release the stroller, trying carefully not to influence its direction to the left or

right, so it rolls straight down the test path. This step should be performed more than once to make

sure the stroller was not biased left or right by the pushing action.

d. If the stroller consistently pulls to the left or right when pushed

straight, proceed with the steps
