Inserting the wheels
f
Place the cabin on one side to allow the wheel to be inserted more easily.
f
Insert one wheel into the cabin’s axle retainer:
–
Hold the wheel so that you can press your thumb
onto the rubber cap on the outside of the wheel
hub.
–
Press on the rubber cap and keep it pressed in
order to open the push-in axle fastening.
–
Insert the wheel’s push-in axle as far as it will go
into the axle retainer.
–
Release the rubber cap to secure the push-in axle.
f
Pull on the wheel to check that the wheel is locked in
the axle retainer.
f
Turn the cabin onto its other side and insert the
second wheel in the same way.
Danger!
After mounting the wheels, secure the
Sportrex
whenever you park it so as to prevent
it from rolling away, see
“Applying the parking brake” on page 20
.
f
Check whether there is sufficient air in the wheels (recommended air pressure: 2.75 – 4.5 bar).
If necessary, use an air pump for car valves to top up with air.
Fitting the wheel guard
The wheel guard on both sides of the cabin prevents the wheels from getting stuck on pillars or
similar obstacles.
f
Tilt back the cabin and place it on its reverse side. This makes the lower cabin frame accessible
for assembly.
f
Prepare the wheel guard by removing the two prefitted screws from the holes.
f
Hold the wheel guard close to the wheel against
the cabin frame so that the following conditions are
fulfilled:
–
The holes on the wheel guard face the holes in the
cabin frame tube.
–
The curved outside of the wheel guard widens
towards the wheel.
f
Insert a screw through the tube into a hole in the
wheel guard.
f
Loosely screw the self-locking nut onto the thread. When doing this, make sure that the
circular side of the nut is not against the thread.
f
Connect the second screw in the same way.
f
Use a size 4 hex key to alternately tighten both screw connections (tightening torque max.
4 Nm).
f
Mount the second wheel guard in the same way for the other wheel.
Mounting the push handle
The push handle is secured to the top of the cabin frame with two robust tube clamps. It has
multiple height settings and is used for pushing, pulling and manoeuvring your
Sportrex
. And if it
becomes necessary, it performs an important safety function as a roll-bar.
f
Prepare the push handle by fully unfolding it. To do this, keep the light grey pushbuttons
pressed on both sides, see
“Adjusting the push handle” on page 20
.
f
Position yourself behind the upright cabin.
f
Loosen the two star grip screws at the bottom end of
the push handle to enable the tube clamps to be easily
pushed onto the tubes of the cabin frame.
f
With both tube clamps, hold the push handle on
the tubes of the upper cabin frame. Two recesses in
the cover (next to the ventilation window) show the
intended mounting position.
f
Attach the tube clamps in turn onto the cabin frame
tubes by applying gentle pressure. Secure them by
partly tightening the star grip screws.
f
Align the push handle horizontally by pushing the tube
clamps all the way up at the same height.
f
Securely tighten the star grip screws in order to fix the
tube clamps to the cabin frame.
Danger!
Make sure that the push handle is also mounted for every journey in Trailer mode.
Only then does the cabin have a roll-bar.
Mounting the brake cable
The parking brake is connected to the push handle ex
works. Before initial commissioning, the brake cable must
also be connected with the brake on the axle.
f
Guide the loose end of the brake cable through the
right opening of the cover into the interior space of the
cabin.
f
Open the rear storage space cover.
f
Guide the brake cable through the right lower gap of the storage space cover to the outside.
