Product Overview
Remove the Axiom from the box and unwrap all the component pieces.
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 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.
