HoundAbout™Pet Stroller
Care & Use Guide
Thank you for your purchase of the Solvit Products HoundAbout™ Pet Stroller. The stroller assembles in about
20-30 minutes, using a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench (or 9mm and 10mm sizes).
Assembly: The package contains: one partially assembled main cabin; two side wheels, one front wheel assembly;
one quick release pin; one handlebar; one handlebar mounting tube kit; one roof support rod, two star knobs, one
cup holder kit; one parking brake kit; one adjustable leash; and one cushion. If any parts are missing, contact Solvit
for prompt replacement.
Step 1: Attach large side wheels to cabin: Insert the spindle of each large wheel into either side of the axle. When
inserted, the spring lock mechanism on the underside of the axle will make an audible “click”. Pull firmly to make
sure wheel is properly installed. To remove, depress the spring lock mechanism and withdraw the wheel.
Step 2: Attach the front wheel assembly: Slide the short square tube on the front wheel assembly over the
matching tube at the lower front edge of the stroller cabin. Align the holes in each tube, install the “quick release”
pin and tighten fully.
Step 3: The sides of the cabin are held in place by means of a roof support rod
and two black plastic “star knobs”. With the wheels resting on the ground, rotate
one side panel into a vertical orientation. While holding the support rod in
position inside the trailer, insert one star knob into the opening in the fabric shell,
through the hole in the frame and into the threaded end of the rod. Press firmly
and rotate the star knob to engage the threads. Repeat with the other star knob on
the other side of the trailer, and fully tighten both star knobs.
Step 4: Install the parking brake. This is
attached on the lower left side of the cabin, in
front of the wheel. Slide a white plastic washer on one of the screws, then
starting from inside the cabin, insert screw through one set of holes in the frame,
then through the hole in the fabric. Add one of the black washers with the
curved side facing toward the cabin. Now slide the brake assembly over the
screw and secure with the 9mm nut (hand-tight only). Repeat with the second
screw and securely tighten both 9mm nuts. The parking brake is engaged by
moving the brake lever to the forward position. Hint: if the brake seems difficult
to operate, loosen the mounting screws one-quarter turn and test again.
(The steps that follow are made easier by engaging the parking brake now.)
Step 5: Install the cushion: The four hook-and-loop straps on the cushion
should “loop” around the interior frame tubes and “hook” back onto each o
When i ther. nstalled correctly, the cushion should cover all tubing.
ep 6: Attach the handlebar: The two handlebar mounting tubes attach to the
e
St
frame on the rear panel. With the open end of the mounting tube facing up,
align the holes on the tube to the holes on the frame. Insert screws through th
tube and holes in the frame and attach 10mm nuts from the inside of the cabin.
Tighten firmly using a screwdriver and wrench. Slide the ends of the handle-
bars into the mounting tubes, align the holes, and insert the lock pins with the
head of the lock pins facing forward. Secure the wire hoop on each lock pin.
