Test for wheel retention

8.Do these two tests to ensure that you have adequately performed these procedures:

•Pick the front of the jogging stroller off of the ground, and give the top of the front tire a sharp downward blow (Fig. 31). The wheel should not come off, be loose, or move from side to side. If uncertain, repeat the tightening process, as shown in Steps 2-6 of these instructions.

•With the quick release lever properly adjusted and in a closed position, you will not be able to rotate the quick release lever in a circular motion parallel to the wheel (as opposed to the flipping motion used to open and close the quick release lever- see Fig. 32).

9.For the rear wheel, test for a secure attachment by attempting to pull the rear hub axle from the axle tube (Fig. 33). You should not be able to pull the axle from the tube.

Lubrication

Lubricate spring clips once a month. Apply a drop of synthetic lube or a similar light oil where the spring clip pin goes through the axle tube (Fig. 30).

Regrease wheel bearings every year. This requires special tools and training, so should only be done by your Chariot dealer.

Lubricate quick releases once a year. Apply several drops of light oil where the quick release lever rotates in the quick release body.
