Notes on using
General
‚
The driver of the tandem should be at least
16 years old.
‚
When riding in poor visibility or darkness,
we recommend the use of suitable rear lights.
These are available from specialist bicycle dealers.
‚
Observe national regulations and ordinances
governing use on public roads.
‚
Familiarise yourself with the tandem before
transporting a dog for the first time. Make an empty
journey (without a dog) and put, for example,
a heavy rucksack in the trailer as a substitute.
Towing bike
‚
The bicycle must have two functioning brakes.
Also consider the longer braking distance.
‚
The turning circle of the tandem is considerably
increased by the trailer.
‚
Ride at maximum walking speed in curves
to minimise the risk of accidents caused by
centrifugal forces.
‚
Always reduce speed on downhill stretches.
‚
Always approach kerbs and uneven surfaces
attentively and slowly. Otherwise the trailer could
be thrown up and tip over.
‚
Never drive on stairs or escalators.
‚
Do not carry a load on the luggage rack when
towing the trailer with the bicycle.
‚
The rear wheel of the towing bike should be
equipped with a suitable splash guard. Thrown
stones and the like can otherwise cause injuries to
the dog.
‚
For safe boarding and alighting, the towing bike
should be equipped with a robust bike stand.
‚
Make sure that the rear wheel of the towing bike
has 26 to 29 inch (559 to 635 mm) tyres.
Jogger (only HTB2101)
‚
Always secure the jogger with the parking brake
when parking it. Otherwise, there is a risk that the
jogger will roll away, become unstable or even turn
over.
‚
Do not hang bags, shopping nets etc. on the
handlebar. Risk of tipping!
‚
Always lift the jogger by the frame when lifting it
into a car, for example. If necessary, have a second
person help you. Do not lift by the canopy or
handlebar!
