BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE

Guide for Safe Use
Make sure your jogging stroller fits properly.
The maximum capacity for a Chariot single child jogging stroller is 75 lb (34 Kg) and for a double jogging stroller is 100 lb (45 Kg) including child and luggage or other supplies. The child’s head, including any helmet, should not project above the sunshade assembly. The child’s feet should not reach the front wheel. Using the jogging stroller with a child who does not properly fit may cause damage to the jogging stroller, or possibly injure the child.
The maximum capacity of the rear mesh storage pocket is 1 kg (2.2 lb). Do not overload the rear storage pocket. Do not attach additional carrying bags or other items to the back or handlebars of the jogging stroller. Any additional weight on the back of the jogging stroller could make it unstable. Additional cargo may be stored in the lower cargo pocket to a maximum of 3 kg (6.6 lb).
You can also adjust the jogging stroller handlebars to fit the person pushing the jogging stroller. Read page 12 of this manual before attempting to make these adjustments.
Make sure you are familiar with your jogging stroller.
Familiarize yourself with the use of the mechanisms on this jogging stroller. Practice adjusting and walking the jogging stroller without a child in it before attempting to walk with a loaded jogging stroller.

Your jogging stroller can be folded for easier transportation or more compact storage. Before storage, always make sure the jogging stroller is completely dry. Storing the jogging stroller when wet or moist will cause rust to form on the metal parts, and mildew will form on the fabric parts. Care must be taken when folding and unfolding the jogging stroller to prevent finger entrapment.
Folding the jogging stroller.
1.Open the brake quick release lever. Remove the front wheel by moving the quick release lever to the OPEN position as shown in the Wheels section. When removing the wheel, the tire will rub the brake pads. Do not force the tire through the brake pads. This may change the adjustment of the brakes. Use a gentle wiggling motion.
2.Remove the rear wheels by depressing the button located in the center of the wheel hub and pull the wheel out of the axle tube.
3.Remove the safety pin (located next to the left locking tension bracket) and gently pull the auto lock spring clip (right locking tension bracket) out of its hole as you pull the locking tension bar (Fig. 1) into its upper, unlocked position.
4.Fold the sunshade back, see Additional Features section for additional information. Gently fold the handlebar forward, being careful not to catch or pinch any of the running stroller’s fabric parts. (Fig. 2)
5.Lower the weight of the stroller gently backwards, allowing the wheel struts to tuck forward.
6.If the wheels are removed: Attach the plastic clip on the handlebar to the plastic
Unfolding the jogging stroller.

Important Note: Check that the handlebar height adjustment levers are oriented in the same direction. During routine folding, transportation and unfolding, these levers can move into an opposite orientation due to movement and vibration. Forcing the stroller to upright when the levers face in opposite directions can cause frame damage.
5.Insert the attached safety pin into the aligned holes on the side of the locking tension bar and bracket.
6.Velcro the wrist strap to its holding position on the handlebar.
7.Install the wheels as shown in the Wheels section. Close the brake quick release.
