Safety instructions for use as a Bicycle Trailer
General safety instructions for operation as a bicycle
trailer:
Basics
Please make sure you read the safety instructions in the
“safety” section at the beginning of this owner’s manual.
only cyclists who are experienced and strong enough may
tow bicycle trailers. if you wish to carry children in the bicycle
trailer, you must be 16 years old or over.
make sure that your bicycle is in good and safe condition.
we recommend you have your bicycle regularly serviced by
a bicycle retailer.
if you are not sure whether your bicycle is suitable for towing
a trailer, please ask your bicycle retailer.
General warning: travelling by bicycle with a child is an
activity that is potentially hazardous
we recommend that especially long rear wheel mudguards
and rear-view mirrors be fitted to the bicycle.
when using this trailer, please also follow the owner’s
manual of the bicycle used for towing. Find out whether your
bicycle is permitted for use in towing bicycle trailers and the
permitted overall weight of the bicycle/trailer vehicle.
Do not use a kickstand or other parking device to support the
bicycle with a trailer attached. attaching a trailer can change
the balance of the bicycle making kickstands ineffective. the
bicycle can fall over, damaging it and the trailer.
With regards to transporting children
children carried in the bicycle trailer must be at least 1 year
old and be able to sit up without support.
the rider and the children being carried must wear suitable
cPsc or ce approved helmets.
if only one child is being carried in a two-seater trailer, then,
in the interests of safety, the central sitting position must
be used. the trailer might otherwise tip over, with serious
consequences for the child.
Please remember that the trailer should only be connected or
unconnected provided there is no child in the trailer.
never cycle without closing the two-in-one weather cover
otherwise your child may be injured by insects, dirt or grit
thrown up from the road.
With regards to the trailer
when the trailer is towed behind a bicycle, the stroller wheels
must never be fixed in their use position (wheels down). They
may only be carried in their out-of-use position (wheels up).
remember that on right-hand turns the radius of the turn is
restricted. if the rear wheel of the bicycle comes into contact
with the hitcharm, there is a risk of the cyclist falling and
injury.
Please ensure that when manoeuvring, the trailer is not set
at an angle of more than 90° to the bicycle, otherwise the
hitch may be damaged.
Reflectors that comply with CPSC regulations shall be visible
on the rear of the trailer and on the side of the wheels.
