Routine Maintenance
STORE IN A COOL AND DRY AREA,
especially in the summer. Do not store the stroller in the trunk of
a vehicle.
WAIST BELT AND BASKET
Hand wash with brush. Wipe out excess water with a dry cloth and dry in a shaded area. For stubborn
dirt, dilute a mild detergent and apply directly to the dirty area. Wipe out the detergent.
MAIN BODY
Briskly wipe off any mud and dirt. To clean the body, wipe with a damp cloth then wipe out any traces
of moisture on the body with a dry cloth. The main body might become moldy and musty if not wiped
dry.
Excessive exposure to the sun could cause premature color fading of stroller
plastic and fabric.
WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
After prolonged normal use, the wheels of your stroller may not swivel or turn as easily as when the
stroller was new. This is usually due to a buildup of dirt in the swivel mechanism. Before adding lubri-
cation, remove the swivel wheels by pressing in the release button and wiping off mud and dirt.
Do
not use soap and water to wash wheels.
Periodically check that all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
Avoid lubricating the swivel wheels whenever possible. Excessive lubrication or adding lubricant to
swivel wheels when new may cause them to develop a shimmy or wobble that may quicken their
deterioration. Add silicone* to
the wheel assemblies
in small amounts.
Do not use lubricants because oil attracts dust and would hinder the movement rather than
improve it.
*Silicone spray is available in varying size cans at most hardware stores.

Trouble Shooting
STROLLER WILL NOT FOLD
- Check to see that the attachment strap is not caught in the side.
- Make sure front swivels are locked.
- Remove all items from the basket.
DIFFICULT TO STEER/STROLLER PULLS TO ONE SIDE
- Remove any items hanging from the handle.
- Make sure weight in basket is distributed evenly.
- Check that the brakes are not in the locked position.
- Clean and add silicone to wheels, if necessary.
DIFFICULT TO GET UP CURBS

up a curb difficult, and could pose a safety hazard.
Pull the handle up to lift the rear wheels
onto the curb, then pull the stroller backward
until the front wheels clear.
