4. Close Quick Release Lever
To properly close the quick release
and secure the front wheel in
the dropouts, confi rm the axle is
contacting the top of the dropouts
on both sides and the wheel is
centered left to right.
FULLY OPEN
FULLY CLOSED
While maintaining the wheel in this
position, rotate the quick release
upward and into the FULLY CLOSED
position. When properly closed,
the curve of the quick release will
be pointing toward the wheel
and parallel to the fork blade. To
generate enough clamping force
it is necessary to wrap your fi ngers
around the fork blade while closing
the quick release lever. The proper
force required to close the quick
release lever should leave a visible
imprint in the palm of your hand.
It takes considerable force to
securely clamp the wheel. If you are
able to completely close the quick
release without wrapping your
fi ngers around the fork blade and
the quick release lever does not
leave a visible imprint in the palm of
your hand, the tension is not
adequate. Rotate the lever to the
FULLY OPEN position and turn the
tension adjusting nut a quarter turn
clockwise and repeat the closing
process.
If the quick release lever cannot
be rotated to the FULLY CLOSED
position, rotate the lever to the
FULLY OPEN position and turn the
tension adjusting nut a quarter turn
counterclockwise. Repeat the closing
process.
REMOVING FRONT WHEEL
1. Open Quick Release Lever
Move the wheel’s quick release lever
from the locked or FULLY CLOSED
position to the FULLY OPEN position.
Your front fork has integral secondary
retention devices that require loosen-
ing the tension adjusting nut enough
to allow removal of the wheel.
2. Remove Front Wheel
Raise the front wheel a few cm off the
ground and tap the top of the wheel
with the palm of your hand to knock
the wheel out of the front fork.
UNFOLD STROLLER
Care must be taken when folding
