TROUBLESHOOTING
WHEEL ADJUSTMENT:
It should be noted that the stroller can be easily
influenced to deviate from a straight line. In most
cases strollers can have a tendency to pull to the
right/left due to many factors. Including uneven
tire pressure, improper wheel installation, road
conditions and manufacturing tolerances. If you
find your Baby Trend stroller to significantly
track or pull to the left or right while use on flat
terrain, follow the sequence of the instructions on
page 3 / page 4 to realign your front wheels.
FLAT TIRE:
The jogging stroller features bicycle tires to
allow for extended wear and ease of pushing.
Just like a bicycle tire, the jogging stroller can
suffer from flat tires. If you have a flat tire, you
can use a standard bicycle tire repair kit to repair
the tire or you can take the tire to a bicycle
shop for repair. If you experience numerous
flat tires, you may want to purchase thorn proof
inner tubes for the jogging stroller. These can be
purchased at bicycle stores or at many national
retail stores. The correct size to purchase is
shown on the sidewall of the tire.
Read all instructions BEFORE assembly and USE of product.
KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
