Use as intended
the brake system of the chariot cx is intended to be used as
follows:
a) as a parking brake for parking the carrier
b) as a deceleration device for the carrier for the following
motive states:
walking
speed walking
Jogging
on inclines a maximum speed of 5 km/h / 3 mph is prescribed,
otherwise there is a risk of the brakes overheating leading to
possible brake failure.
the maximum permissible speed for using the brake system
with the carrier on level stretches is 15 km/h / 9 mph.
as part of the use as intended, you should also follow this
owner’s manual and comply with the prescribed maintenance
requirements.
Use not recommended
any use that goes beyond the above is not recommended.
use not recommended arises from overloading the
carrier, excessive speed and improper repair of defects or
modifications.
the manufacturer is not liable for damages arising from use that
is not as intended – this is at the risk of the user.

warning
Do not touch the brake drum at the wheel centre after a long
period of use, as the brake drums can become hot and there
is a risk of getting burnt.
in the event of use not as intended the brake may overheat.
this may lead to reduction in braking force or even brake
failure.
warning
on inclines a maximum speed of 5 km/h / 3 mph is higly re-
commended, otherwise there is a risk of the brakes overhea-
ting, leading to possible brake failure resulting in an accident
in which your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or
death.
Please note that the brake system is only designed to
decelerate the carrier with its permissible maximum weight.

Warning against unauthorised modifications
For reasons of safety, unauthorised rebuilds of and/or
modifications to the brake system are not permitted.
the brake system is only to be used as supplied by the
manufacturer, permanently attached to the chariot cx.
conversion of the brake system to other carriers is not
permitted.
Retrofitting of the brake system to an older Chariot CX model
or other carrier is not permitted.
Unauthorised rebuilds and modifications render the warranty
invalid.
Use as a wheel brake
During travel the carrier can be decelerated and brought to a
stop by operating the brake from the brake lever. the brake
allows you to counteract unintended acceleration on inclines.
Before using the brake system for the first time, acquaint
yourself with its braking effect in a safe place and away from
road traffic.
Brakes transform kinetic energy into heat and for this reason
heat up.

to completely detach the handlebar (s) from the carrier, the
entire brake lever and right handlebar grip assembly (s1) with
brake lever (a) can be removed by depressing a spring button
located in the right plastic bracket (s2) and pulling outward.
the handlebar grip and brake lever assembly (s1) can then
be stored in the upper mesh pocket, allowing the rest of the
handlebar to be stored separate from the carrier. to re-install,
simply push the handlebar grip/brake lever assembly (s1) back
into place, making sure the spring button fully engages. check
by pulling outwards to ensure that the grip is securely attached.
warning
always ensure that the handlebar grip/ brake lever assembly
(s1) is securely fastened to the handlebar (s). Failure to
do so could result in an accident in which you and/or your
passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or death.
