Changing the towbar load
Adjust the tow bar load by moving or reducing your baggage:
f
Tow bar load over 8 kg:
Move items of baggage to the rear, e.g. from the storage space to the pouch for small items.
f
Tow bar load less than 3 kg:
Move items of baggage forward, e.g. from the pouch for small items to the storage space.
Total weight too heavy
f
Reduce the baggage weight in the two pouches for small items.
f
Reduce the baggage weight in the storage space.
f
Make sure that the loaded trailer weighs less than 60 kg.
Connecting the trailer to a bicycle
Danger!
Do not connect the
Speedkid2
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
Speedkid2
offers a number of functions for the cabin climate, a panorama roof with sun visor,
and conveniently adjustable suspension.
Using the climate functions
Adjusting the 2-in-1 canopy
The 2-in-1 canopy is comprised of an insect net and a weather canopy:
The inner part of the 2-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 2-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 surrounding Velcro fasteners and both zip 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 ventilation windows
The purpose of the ventilation window on the back of the
Speedkid2
is to improve the exchange of air in the cabin.
Opening the ventilation window:
f
Roll up the cover and lock it with the top Velcro
fastener.
