Check attachment of all wheels.
This jogging stroller is equipped with quick release wheel retention mechanisms. The quick release allows the wheel to be installed and removed without tools. For proper and safe performance, read and follow these instructions carefully:
1. Check all wheels of your jogging stroller before every use.

2.For the front wheel, move the quick release lever to the OPEN position and set the wheel so it firmly touches the inside of the fork ends.
3.With the lever about halfway between the OPEN position and the CLOSED position (Fig. 24), tighten the quick release adjusting nut on the opposite end of the quick release axle until
4. Place the quick release lever in the palm of your hand and
move the lever in a motion as shown in Figure 26. Move the lever into the CLOSED position (Fig. 28). At the halfway closed
position of the quick release lever, you should start to feel some resistance to this motion.
5.If the lever is moved to the CLOSED position with little or
no resistance, clamping strength is insufficient. Simply return the lever to the OPEN position, tighten the quick release adjusting nut further and close the lever, testing again for resistance. When
the quick release device is properly tightened, and clamped to the closed position, the clamping force is adequate to cause metal
into metal engagement (embossing) of the fork surfaces.
•Do not tighten the quick release by using the quick release lever like a wing nut (Fig. 27). This will not result in sufficient force to hold the wheel in place.
6.Orient the quick release lever so that it does not interfere with any other stroller part and so that it will not become accidentally snagged by obstacles in the path of the jogging stroller (Fig. 28).

Note: If your dropouts don’t appear parallel, this is normal
when the wheel is not inserted and tightened, especially the Cavalier 2. First ensure that both handlebar height adjustment levers are oriented in the same direction (see page 12) and the locking tension bar is correctly seated. It may be possible to slightly correct minor twisting. Use moderate, gradual movements with hands only (no tools, feet or force) to tweak in the desired direction. The bolted aluminum construction allows for slight corrections.
