& Lubrication

Introduction

The wheels allow your jogging stroller to roll down the road smoothly so the integrity of your jogging stroller wheels is crucial. Their structural soundness and their relationship to the performance of your brake are of great importance.

The best maintenance of a wheel is preventative maintenance.

Be aware of the things that can go wrong, so you can stop trouble before it happens.

Inspection

Before each use, check that your quick release hub is in its closed (locked) position and that your wheels are correctly attached. For further information on adjusting quick release hubs, see the Adjustment section, or consult your Chariot dealer.

Make sure your tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the tire sidewalls. Use a gauge and a bike pump whenever possible. Avoid filling your tires at gas stations. Because of the greater pressure and volume of air their pumps release, blowouts are very possible. Inspect your tires for wear and any other damage. If a tire has any cuts or separations which go through the tire, making any part of the inner tube visible, or if any part of the tire casing shows through the tire tread (running surface) replace the tire.

Make sure your rims are clean. Dirty or greasy rims result in ineffective brakes. Wipe your rims with a clean rag or wash them with soap and water, rinse, and let them air dry.

If a wheel is not in good condition, both the effectiveness of the brakes and the strength of the wheel are greatly reduced.

Every month, check that the hub bearings are properly adjusted. Lift the front end of the jogging stroller off the ground with one hand and attempt to move the rim laterally, left to right. Look, feel, and listen for any looseness in the hub bearings. Spin the wheel, and listen for any grinding or other unusual noises. If the hub feels loose or makes any noise, the hub may need an adjustment. Repeat these procedures for the rear wheels.

WARNING

If there is movement between the axle and the hub, or you suspect the hub may need an adjustment, do not use your jogging stroller. Take your jogging stroller to your Chariot dealer for service.
