CARE AND MAINTAINANCE
• The carrier must never be used before adjusting the retention
belts.
• A wheel protector is recommended for the rear wheel to
prevent the child from inserting its feet or hands between
the spokes. Contact your local bicycle retailer for more in-
formation or contact www.polisport-bicycle-usa.com.
Make sure to use saddle without coil springs as your Childs
fingers/hands can be severely damaged if they get their
fingers/hands into these springs.
• Insure that carrying the child will not interfere with the rear
brakes. These safety issues should be revised as your child
grows.
• Dress the child in proper clothes according to weather condi-
tions. Carried children need to be more warmly dressed than
riders of cycles and should be protected from rain, and from
temperatures below freezing that could cause the child to
suffer frostbite. Always insure that none of your child’s cloth-
ing or shoes can become entangle with any part of the bicy-
cle.
• You must cover any sharp or pointy objects, “pinch points” or
body part entrapment areas on the bicycle that could be
reached by the child.
• The carrier and cushion can get hot if under the sun for a long
time. Make sure that they are not too hot before carrying the
child.
To keep the carrier in good working condition and to prevent accidents we recommend the following
:
• Check regularly the mounting system of the carrier to the bicycle in order to make sure it is in perfect condition.
• Before any ride, check all the components to see if they work properly. Do not use the carrier if any of the components are
damaged. Damaged components must be replaced. In order to replace them, you need to contact your local dealer in order to
get the correct components for replacement. You can find all the contacts on the website:
www.polisport-bicycle-usa.com
• If you have suffered an accident with your bicycle and carrier, we advise you to get a new carrier. Even if there is no visible
damage to the carrier.
• Clean the carrier with soap and water (do not use abrasive, corrosive or toxic products). Leave it to dry at room temperature.
• Check if all parts of the bicycle function correctly with the
carrier mounted.
• The bicycle to which the carrier is attached must be in good
working order, of a type appropriate for the additional load,
and of proper size and adjustment for the rider. Check the
bicycle user manual or the bicycle manufacturer to obtain
information and to make sure the bicycle model is appropri-
ate to carry a bicycle carrier according to these characteris-
tics.
• Do not use the carrier if any part is broken or damaged. Check
all components regularly and replace any when required.
Check the maintenance chapter.
• The rider and the child should wear helmets that have been
approved to nationally recognized standards.
• Failure to comply with these operating instructions can lead
to serious injury or death of the bicycle operator and/or child.
