Product Overview

Now unfold the Axiom into its upright use position
Your Axiom is equipped with a primary and secondary folding lockout. When the Axiom is folded into its use position, the primary folding lockout will engage (you may hear a “click” when it engages) The secondary folding lockout is located on the side of the Axiom (the left side as you are standing behind it) as shown in the photo. Insert the release pin to secure the folding latch. It is HIGHLY recommended that you never use the Axiom without this secondary folding lockout pinned into place.

Now find the front wheel fender and install it onto the four bolt studs as shown in the photo. Note: the retaining nuts for these bolts have been installed for shipping. Please remove them before installing the fender. Once the fender is installed, tighten the nuts onto the bolts with a wrench. Tighten “snuggly” being cautious to not over tighten them.

Now locate the foot wells. Each foot well has the mounting nuts and bolts installed for shipping. Please remove them now and set them aside to be used when the foot well is installed. Each foot well is universal, meaning the there is no right-side/left side designation. Mount each foot well by bolting it to the AXIOM as shown in the photo. On the AXIOM is a set of holes that will allow you to adjust the height and side to side angle of each foot well. You will need to determine the correct height and angle for your application.

Adjustable Height Handle
Your pushchair is equipped with a height adjustable handle. To adjust the handle to best suit your comfort, simply press the buttons located on the inside of the handle near the end of the foam handle grip. While holding the buttons in, adjust the handle up or down to the height that is correct for you. Once there, release the buttons and the handle will lock into place.

Wrist Strap
Your Axiom pushchair is equipped with a safety wrist strap which you should always use when there is a passenger loaded. The wrist strap is the link between you and the pushchair and keeps the pushchair from rolling away from your control by accident. Never leave a passenger unattended in the pushchair. The wrist strap is constructed with loops on each end, one large and one small. The wrist strap should be attached to the pushchair at the frame member that runs between the rear wheels, by looping around it, and inserting the large looped end through the small loop and pulling it tight. The large loop may now be wrapped around your wrist attaching you to the pushchair

Rear Wheel Installation
First unlock the rear foot brake by pulling the black loop upward

Next, push the black button and while holding it in…..insert the wheel axle all the way into the pushchair frame and  release the button. Now repeat to install the other wheel.

Warning:
Check to make sure your wheels are locked in before each use.

Front Wheel Installation
Start by tipping the push chair backward so the fork assembly is pointing upward. This will make it easier to install the wheel.

The front wheel is the same as a bicycles. Place the tire between the brake pads and orient your wheel so that the flat sections of the wheel axle align with the slotted metal fork tips and push the wheel so that it seats all the way in the back of the fork tip

Position the silver lever straight out from the frame as shown. Now tighten the black knob on the opposite side of the lever until it just starts to become snug

Warning:
Be sure to dispose of the packaging from the wheels, they can be a choking hazard to young children
Now swing the lever closed as shown here. If you are unable to swing the lever completely into the locked position, open it back straight out, loosen the black knob slightly, and close the lever again.

Adjustments

Seat Recline
To recline the seat, simply slide the two straps behind the seat. To put the seat back to the upright position, pull the webbing taut until in the upright position

Foot Well
Your Axiom pushchair features foot wells that are independently adjustable for passenger comfort. Each foot well has the ability to adjust up and down in 1” increments and 1/2” to the right or left, from center. Additionally, each foot wells may be angled 10 degrees to the right or left or mounted upside down for passengers with shorter legs, allowing you to easily attain a customized fit.

Front Brake Adjustment
The front brake on your Axiom pushchair may require periodic adjustment. By turning the silver ring, indicated by the red arrow, outward it will cause the brake pads to move closer to the front wheel. There is a similar adjuster located underneath the pushchair, near the front wheel, on the brake caliper itself. This caliper style brake system is the same as used on a bicycle, and if you require more detailed assistance, a local bicycle shop will be able to provide it for you.

Tracking
If your pushchair is pulling to the left or right while using the fix front wheel, check to see if it is one of the following: Tire pressure, check to see if all 3 tires are fully inflated. Be sure that the front wheel hasn’t been installed too tight. Release the QR lever, push the front wheel all the way back into the fork tips and when closing the lever, make sure that it is only snug, not He-man tight. If it is, loosen the thumb nut on the other side and close the lever. You may have  to make several small adjustments until the lever  closes snuggly. Inspect the wheels for bent spokes or axles

Harness Adjustment
You will want to do a one time general positioning of the harness before placing the passenger in the seat. Once the passenger is in the seat then do the final harness adjustments as follows:

Undo both the buckles from the padded center  trap.

Push down on the silver center button located between the passengers knees and pull the webbing out to the end.

• Pull up the webbing through the seat and up on the shoulder harness area.
• Place the passenger in the seat.
• Adjust the padded center strap forward or backward to fit your passenger.
• Adjust the padded shoulder harness up or down on the Velcro strips to fit your passenger.
• Buckle the two buckles to the padded center strap.
• Pull the adjustment strap until the padded center strap and the padded shoulder harness are both snug.
• Adjust the chest strap to a comfortable length and connect the buckles.

If the harness is too small for the passenger harness extensions are available for purchase.

Reminder!
