Recline lever on Marathon 70

Ladybugmomma · Aug 31, 2010

I can not figure it out. It says to pull, but it feels like it might break and it isn't reclining. What am I doing wrong?

I've heard 3 reviewers say that they hated the lever on it, that they felt like they were about to break it every time they used it... it's not very user friendly

You need to pull. It won't break, though it'll feel like it's about to.

I don't think it's too difficult

It's just made out of a flexible plastic instead of a rigid plastic. Just pull and it should recline pretty easily.

i remember needing to pull fairly hard on it, but I think it wasn't so much of a pull motion as an upward rotation, and in your pulling it out, but also upward. Does that make sense? Maybe I'm over thinking it, but just in case that's the problem. HTH.

Ok so to clarify, I am not actually pulling, as in down, the lever, as I am more pulling it out towards myself right? Do I need to push the seat back or will it recline like the old MA?

Right, pull it toward you, nearly pulling it up. The seat will pop back like the old ones did (well, more like you remove the brakes and gravity gets it).
