Operating and safety precautions
GB
We congratulate you on the purchase of this high-quality child cycle trailer.
The operating instructions are part of this product. If you pass on this product to a third party, please pass them on with it.
Safety instructions!
Read these instructions carefully before using the product and retain them.
If you do not observe these instructions, your safety and that of other road users may be adversely affected.
1. The trailer is intended for transporting up to 2 children.
2. The permitted total weight of the trailer must not exceed 40 kg.
3. Children may not be transported until they can sit safely and unaided.
4. The headroom for the child (distance between the top of his/her helmeted head and the top of the frame structure) must be at least 100 mm
in order to reduce the risk of injury to the child in the event of the trailer tipping over.
5. Children must be belted in throughout the journey.
6. Never leave children unattended in the child trailer.
7. Do not make any technical modifications to the trailer.
8. No additional loads should be placed on the towbar.
9. Maximum speed 16 kph.
10. Do not use the trailer on very stony or otherwise dangerous roads.
11. Always act with extreme caution among road traffic so as to avoid any hazard.
12. During journeys with the child trailer you should note that the braking distance and the turning circle are greater than with the cycle alone.
13. The rider of the cycle towing the trailer should be at least 16 years old and should be in a good state of health.
14. The rider and the children should wear helmets during the journey.
15. Up to 2 children may be transported at the same time. When transporting one child, he/she should always be placed in the middle of the seat.
16. A disabled person may optionally be transported. In this case, the age restriction may be dispensed with.
17. Make sure that the cycle towing the trailer is in perfect technical condition.
18. It is recommended that the cycle towing the trailer be fitted with rear view mirrors.
19. Before every journey check that all parts are correctly seated, in particular the attachment of the towbar and the wheels.
20. The cover must always be closed during the journey so as to protect the children from injury from rubbish on the road or little stones.
21. Always put your child's seat belts on.
22. Make sure that the seat belts are correctly positioned and attached.
23. No liability can be accepted for third party accessories.
24. Only cycles with user instructions in which the cycle manufacturer expressly permits their use as towing vehicles may be used in this manner.
Warning: Check if the bicycle is suitable for the trailer before use!
25. Your specialist dealer should check the towing deceleration to make sure that the following required values are observed.
Towing deceleration (by means of fully developed deceleration) with a total weight of 140 kg.
Front wheel brakes:
Rear wheel brake:
26. The permitted total weight of the unbraked trailer may not exceed 40 kg.
27. Familiarise yourself with the changed towing characteristics in a safe spot by using weights (max. load) in the trailer. In particular practise
taking corners, riding uphill and downhill, emergency braking and riding with the cycle and trailer over various road surfaces.
28. Attach the pennant supplied to make the cycle and trailer more visible.
29. Before you use the cycle and trailer, make sure that there is enough air pressure in the tyres, otherwise the riding characteristics of the cycle
and trailer with insufficient air in the tyres may deteriorate.
30. With the trailer attached there is an increased risk of the cycle towing the trailer tipping when stationary. Make sure, especially when the cycle
rack is loaded, that the cycle is securely positioned. (Care is required particularly when a child seat is used). In this event we recommend a
double stand. In addition, when you are off the cycle always apply the trailer's parking brake, especially before a child gets in or out.
31. The lamps are only compliant with German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) when operated with rechargeable batteries. Before
each trip ensure that the lighting is in perfect working order and the batteries (not supplied) have sufficient charge. In addition, ensure that the
reflectors (2 front, 2 back and 4 wheel reflectors) are in perfect condition.
Warning: Please follow the local traffic regulation during using on the public road!
