Zigo Leader Manuel De Montage Et D'utilisation page 16

Starting , Stopping and Riding
• Take care when crossing streets and paths. The Leader™ is longer than a
standard bicycle and in Carrier Bicycle Mode, the nose of the Leader™ may
inadvertently stick out into oncoming traffic. In Trailer Mode, the ChildPod®
may inadvertently be left in traffic even though the bicycle has cleared the
intersection.
• Additional weight of children in the ChildPod®, and the weight of the ChildPod®
itself, requires more time and distance to start and stop the vehicle.
• Do not brake sharply. The vehicle may overturn and serious injury or death can
occur.
• Test brakes. Always test your brakes prior to using the vehicle.
• Avoid instability and potential hazard. Use caution if operating the vehicle in
Carrier Bicycle mode without children in the ChildPod
without weight in front.
• Exercise caution on curbs and uneven surfaces.
• Never operate the vehicle in Carrier Bicycle mode if you are uncertain if the
Cycle and ChildPod® are properly secured with the LeaderLink®. Never operate
the vehicle in Trailer Mode if you are unsure if the Trailer Arm has securely
coupled the ChildPod® to the bicycle.
• In Carrier Bicycle Mode and Trailer Mode, do not operate on hills; it may be
difficult to control your speed on the descent.
• Always use the orange safety flag for increased visibility
• Be certain that Caster Wheels are in up position when riding in Carrier Bicycle
Mode.
2.6 Safety Guidelines for ChildPod® Use
• Open properly. Be sure that the ChildPod® is fully erected and locked before
allowing children near it.
• Avoid finger entrapment. Use caution when folding and unfolding the
ChildPod®. Take special care when opening and closing Caster Wheels.
• Verify that the Steering Lock is engaged in Stroller, Jogger, and Trailer Modes.
This keeps the ChildPod® rear wheels straight. Note that in Carrier Bicycle Mode
(see above), the Steering Lock must be disengaged.
• Use your Pod Leash at all times. In either Stroller and Jogger Mode, always use
you Pod Leash to ensure that the ChildPod® does not get away from you.
• Stabilize the vehicle. Always use the Parking Brake when the ChildPod® is
stationary.
