Connecting the trailer to a bicycle
Danger!
Do not connect the
Sportrex
to a bicycle until the following conditions have been
fulfilled:
»
The trailer is fully loaded.
»
The children wear a bicycle helmet or use a head rest and are properly belted.
»
The buggy wheel has been removed.
»
The tow bar load has been checked and is within the permissible range (0 – 8 kg).
»
Remove the retaining cotter pin from
the tow bar coupler pocket.
»
Push the tow bar onto the coupler of the bicycle so
that the cotter pin holes in the coupler and tow bar
coupler pocket are one above the other.
»
Insert the cotter pin into the hole and
lock the cotter pin fastening.
»
Check that the connection between the coupler
and the tow bar is secure.
»
Guide the tow bar’s retaining strap through the
braces of the rear wheel so that the trailer is securely connected to the bicycle frame.
»
Fix the safety strap using the clamping buckle on the tow bar head. Make sure that it cannot
flutter into the spokes of the rear wheel while riding. If necessary, wrap the safety strap
several times around the bicycle frame and fix the end of the strap with the rubber ring on the
shaft of the tow bar.
Danger!
Always make sure the safety strap is in place before using the product in trailer
mode. In addition, make sure that the safety strap can not get into moving parts of
the towing bike.
Danger!
Always secure the tow bar to the bicycle frame with the retaining strap. This
ensures that the trailer will remain connected even if the tow bar becomes
detached from the coupler.
Irrespective, the coupler must always be properly mounted and the connection to
the tow bar must be secured with the locked cotter pin. Otherwise the tow bar can
be come detached and can be pushed into the rear wheel’s spokes during braking.
