products, which encourage a
healthy, outdoor, car-free lifestyle.
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 harness to avoid serious injury to child 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 attach parcels or bags to the handle or frame of stroller except
those recommended by BOB, as stroller can become unstable and
tip over.
.
The maximum load of the Duallie stroller is 100 lbs (45 kg). Do not
exceed maximum load (occupant plus luggage weight) as stroller
will become unstable.
.
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 the childs hands and feet are
away from wheels.
.
Follow instructions and use care when folding and unfolding stroller
to prevent finger entrapment (see section 14).
.
The Duallie stroller is not equipped for use after dark. If you intend
to use at night, we recommend installing a lighting system available
through your local bike shop.
.
We do not recommend wearing roller skates or inline skates while
pushing stroller.
.
Do not use stroller on stairs or steep inclines. Stroller can tip over,
resulting in injury.
.
Never pull a loaded stroller backwards up stairs. Doing so could
damage the suspension system leading to frame failure and serious
injury to the user and/or the occupants.
.
Always use Wrist Safety Strap.

AGE RECOMMENDATIONS: - It is recommended that your
child be a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks old before riding directly in the
stroller seat. 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 Duallie stroller.
1. 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.
2. SWINGARM: Rotate the
swingarm away from the front of
the stroller until the shocks
engage in the first position (Fig.
2). Each shock
locking pin will
snap and lock into
position 1.
3. HANDLE:
Rotate the stroller
handle up to the
fully open position.
Slider Latches will
lock into place (Fig.
3).
4. REAR WHEEL:
Place the rear
wheel quick release
lever in the open
position, as shown
in Fig. 4. Insert the
rear wheels stub
axle into the hole in
the rear dropout. If
the axle does not
slide in easily,
loosen the quick
release adjusting
nut (Fig. 4) by hand.
Re-insert the axle fully into the rear dropout until the axle shoulder or
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
almost touch dropout.
When properly
adjusted, it will
require considerable
torque (80-105 in-lbs
or 9-12 Nm) 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).
NOTE: Follow all
instructions exactly.
If you are unsure
how to operate the
quick release,
consult your
dealer or contact
BOB.
5. FENDER
INSTALLATION:
Before installing
the front wheel,
you will need to
attach the fender.
The two
attachment
screws can be
found already
installed on the
frame (Fig. 7).
Remove the two
fender mounting
screws. You may
wish to remove a
fabric screw (right
or left) to give better
access to the cross
tube fender screw.
Align the hole in the
metal tab of the
fender with the
threaded hole in the
center of the front cross tube and install screw (Fig. 8). Align the hole
in the plastic fender with the hole in the brake mounting plate and
install screw (Fig. 8). Center fender on stroller and tighten both screws.
6. FRONT WHEEL: (Fig. 9) shows the anatomy of the front wheel
quick release. Remove the adjuster nut and one spring from the quick
release, and install the quick release rod into the wheel axle. Install
the spring (small end towards the center of the wheel) and screw on
the adjuster
nut by
turning in a
clockwise
direction.
Tighten the
nut only
three turns
(final
adjustment
will be made
after the wheel is
installed).
As the strollers
tires are wider
than the rims, and
as the brake pads
are adjusted to
the rims, the
brake caliper will
need to be
opened before
mounting or
removing the
wheel. Open the
brake quick
release (Fig. 10)
by squeezing the brake pads
together with your right hand,
and pulling down and then
rotating the brake quick release
lever outward with your left
hand. The front forks dropouts
are slotted to receive the front
wheel (Fig. 11). Slide the wheel
into the dropouts so that the
quick release lever is on the left
hand side of the stroller. Make
sure the wheel is centered in
the frame and
that the axle
is touching
the back of
the dropout
slot. Securely
tighten the
wheel in
place as
follows: With
the quick
release lever
in the open
position (Fig.
11), tighten the adjusting nut (clockwise) until it comes in contact with
the dropout. Move the quick release lever to the closed position (Fig.
12). This should require significant pressure. If you do not feel
significant resistance, turn the quick release lever back to the open
position (Fig. 11), and hand tighten the adjusting nut by one or two
more turns in the clockwise direction until snug. Move the quick release
lever toward the closed position (Fig. 12). The word CLOSE should
be clearly visible and the quick release lever should be parallel to the
fork tube. It should require considerable torque (80-105 in-lbs or 9-
12 Nm) to close the lever when properly adjusted. NOTE: Failure to
properly adjust quick release may result in wheel loss and serious
personal injury. If you are unsure how to operate the quick release,
consult your dealer or call BOB.
7. PARKING BRAKE:
The brake is a parking
brake, it prevents the
stroller from moving
while loading and
unloading it. The
parking brake is not
designed as a
stopping brake. Do
not use the brake 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
