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 are wearing bicycle helmets and are properly fastened in.
The buggy wheel has been removed.
The tow bar load has been checked and is within the permissible range (3 – 8 kg).
f
Remove the retaining cotter pin from the tow bar’s
coupler pocket.
f
Push the tow bar onto the coupler on the bicycle so
that the cotter pin holes in the coupler and coupler
pocket are aligned.
f
Insert the cotter pin into the hole and lock the cotter
pin fastening.
f
Check that the connection between the coupler and
the tow bar is secure.
f
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.
f
Hook the retaining strap with the carabiner hook into the eye on the tow bar. Make sure that it
cannot flutter into the rear wheel’s spokes during the journey.
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.
Using the comfort functions
The
Sportrex
offers some climate functions for the cabin and can be conveniently adjusted by
adapting the backrest tilt and the suspension.
Using the climate functions
Adjusting the 3-in-1 canopy
The 3-in-1 canopy is comprised of an insect net, an adjustable sun visor and a weather canopy:
The inner part of the 3-in-1 canopy must be closed during every journey because the integral
insect net provides protection against insects and small stones.
The outer skin of the 3-in-1 canopy is comprised of a durable transparent sheet. It provides
protection against rain and strong winds, and dissipates exhaust gases out of the cabin.
Opening the weather canopy:
f
Roll up the rain window and secure the roll at the top
with the two toggle fasteners.
Closing the weather canopy:
f
Open the top toggle fasteners and unroll the rain
window over the insect net.
f
Close all the surrounding toggle and Velcro fasteners.
Danger!
Never ride with the cover open. As a minimum, the insect net must be closed in order
to provide protection against stones. In bad weather or heavy traffic, also close the
weather canopy.
Using the sun visor
The sun visor is housed in the canopy between the insect
net and the rain window. The length can be adjusted with
Velcro fasteners.
f
Roll up the rain window.
f
Fold the sun visor to the desired length and lock it
with the side Velcro fasteners.
f
If necessary you can also roll up the sun visor
completely and close the rain window again.
Using the ventilation windows
The purpose of the ventilation windows of the
Sportrex
is to improve air circulation in the cabin.
Right ventilation window:
f
To open, release the Velcro fastener of the window
film in the cabin and fold it down.
f
To close, secure the window film with the Velcro
fastener again.
Rear ventilation window:
f
To open, roll up the rain cover and lock it with the top
toggle fasteners.
f
To close, roll down the rain cover and attach it using
the toggle fasteners on the side and underneath.
Danger!
Open the ventilation windows on hot days or in heavy traffic in order to dissipate
warm air and exhaust fumes out of the cabin more quickly.
