Warning
Always try to stow the load in a way that the centre of gravity of the entire
load is as far as possible above the longitudinal centre line of the CS. Keep
this centre of gravity as low as possible. Poor weight distribution can have
negative effects on handling and braking.
Warning
Before starting the ride, make sure that no lashing straps or parts of the
luggage dangle from one of the cargo areas front rack, centre rack or rear
rack or out of the transport box. Dangling lashing straps or loose items can
get into the front and or rear wheel, affect or block the steering of your CS
and stop the drive system.
Warning
Never start a ride before you have actively secured the items on the cargo
areas front rack, centre rack or rear rack with lashing straps etc. If the load
moves, the centre of gravity can change and lead to critical riding situations.
Read in addition the chapter
“Useful tips for riding your CS“
.
Warning
Visually inspect the cargo before every ride to ensure it is properly secured.
Make a habit to regularly perform the functional checks described in the
chapter
”Before every ride with the CS ”
.
Notice
Keep in mind that additional cargo will also increase wear. Therefore, check
the condition of the wearing parts regularly, at least as specified in the
chapter
“Service and maintenance schedule”
. Under adverse conditions,
e.g. if you ride a lot in wet and dirty conditions, cover many metres of
altitude or travel with a high load from cargo or passengers, expect even
significantly shorter intervals.
