HANDLEBARS

Inspection,
Adjustment
& Lubrication
Introduction
The handlebar assembly is primarily responsible for your ability to steer and control the jogging stroller.
Adjustment
The handlebar height of your jogging stroller can be adjusted to provide increased comfort and control. Remove the child from the jogging stroller before making adjust- ments.
To adjust the handlebar height, move the locking tension bar (Fig. 18) to its upper, unlocked position. Rotate both bar height adjustment levers (Fig. 19) at the same time to change the handlebar height. Rotating both levers at the same time helps prevent any jamming. Rotate forward and down (Fig. 19) for the low bar position, or up and back (Fig. 20) for the high bar position.
After adjustment, swing the locking tension bar into its lower, locked position.

FABRIC AND FASTENERS
Introduction
In addition to the other specific parts of your jogging stroller listed in this chapter, your jogging stroller is comprised of a metal frame with a fabric seat and sunshade. These structures form the jogging stroller itself.
Inspection
Once a month check the fabric of the seat and sunshade for wear, tears, or any other damage.
Once a month check all the nuts and bolts on the jogging stroller. As a simple function test, check that any two parts bolted together do not feel loose, and cannot be moved from one another. All the threaded fasteners on the jogging stroller use Nylock nuts, where a plastic insert prevents loosening of the bolt.
In some cases, the bolt in question needs to allow pivoting of the parts it holds together. In these cases, you must inspect the bolt to make sure there is not undue looseness.
Adjustment
Use the proper tools to tighten any loose bolts. If you are unsure of what constitutes a loose bolt, take your jogging stroller to your Chariot dealer for inspection and repair.
If your jogging stroller has any damaged fabric, repair or replace the damaged part, or take your jogging stroller to your Chariot dealer for service.
