BOB SPORT UTILITY - User Manual

BOB is a company
that produces high quality
products, which encourage a
healthy, outdoor, car-free life-style. In
addition to strollers, we also make single-
wheeled cargo trailers for bicycles. See www.bobgear.com for our
complete line of products. Before attempting to assemble or use
your new stroller, read and understand these operating
instructions completely to insure proper assembly and operation.
If you are unclear on any point, contact your dealer or BOB before
use.
WARNINGS
Never leave children unattended in the stroller.
Failure to properly assemble or install the quick release wheels on
this stroller may result in the wheels becoming detached while
moving and a subsequent loss of control of the stroller.
Always use seat harnesses to avoid serious injury to children from
sliding or falling out of stroller.
Never allow occupants to stand in stroller.
The parking brake is not designed as a stopping brake. The brake
should not be used to slow or stop the stroller. The brake is intended
to park the stroller on flat surfaces, not on inclines. Never leave
your children in the stroller unattended with or without the parking
brake set!
Do not strap parcels or bags to the handle as it affects the balance
and stability of the stroller and can cause it to tip over backwards.
The maximum carrying capacity of the stroller is 70 pounds.
Do not place sharp objects in the seatback pocket as your child
leans against this and can be injured as a result.
When starting out, always make sure that your kids hands and feet
are away from wheel spokes.
The stroller is not equipped for use after dark. If you intend to use
it at night, we recommend installing wheel reflectors and a lighting
system available through your local bike shop.
We do not recommend wearing roller skates or in-line skates while
pushing stroller.
BOB IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY, DAMAGE, OR FAILURE
THAT RESULTS FROM OWNERS FAULTY ASSEMBLY OR
MAINTENANCE AFTER SHIPPING.
AGE RECOMMENDATIONS: - It is recommended that
your child be a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks old before riding in the
stroller. Young babies incapable of holding their head up must be
provided additional head and neck support to ride safely. For jogging
and off road use, children should be at least 6 to 8 months old.
Children develop at different rates. Consult with your pediatrician
regarding the suitability of the stroller use with your child.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Reference Fig. 1 as it describes the various parts of the stroller.
UNPACK: Remove stroller, stroller wheels, front fender and front
quick release from packaging. Plastic packaging material was used
to protect the front fork dropouts, the front wheel axles and the shock
slider brackets. Remove these plastic pieces.
SWINGARM: Rotate the swingarm away from the front of the stroller
until the shocks engage in the first position (Fig. 2). The
shocks locking pins will snap and lock
into position 1.
HANDLE: Rotate the stroller
handle up to the fully open
position. Slider Latches will lock
into place (Fig. 3).
REAR WHEEL: Place the rear
wheel quick release lever in the
open position, as shown in Fig.
4. Insert the rear wheels stub
axle into the hole in the rear
dropout. If the axle does not slide
in easily, loosen the quick release
adjuster nut (Fig. 4) by hand. Re-
insert the axle fully into the rear
dropout until the snap ring on the
axle comes in contact with the dropout (Fig. 5). Move the quick release
lever to the closed position (Fig. 6). The word CLOSE should be
clearly visible and
the quick release
lever should be
pointing up
towards the seat.
When properly
adjusted, it will
require
considerable
pressure (80-105
inch/pounds) to
close the lever. If
you do not feel this
resistance (too
loose or too tight),
return the quick
release lever back
to the open
position (Fig. 4),
and adjust the
adjusting nut
(clockwise to
tighten,
counterclockwise
to loosen). Move
the quick release
lever to the closed
position (Fig. 6).
