Mounting the tow bar
You only require the tow bar in Trailer mode. It is used to hook up the
Sportrex
behind a bicycle equipped
with a suitable coupler, see
„Connecting the trailer to a bicycle“ on page 28
.
The tow bar is attached to the tow bar mount using a locking bolt and can be used in two different
positions:
Attachment position: The tow bar is facing forwards.
Standby position: The tow bar is facing to the rear and is carried under the cabin floor.
In both positions, the tow bar is also secured with a cotter pin.
f
Pull the locking knob with one hand and hold it in place.
f
Push the front button on the tow bar with the other hand
so that the locking bolt unlocks.
f
Keep on pushing down the button and push the tow bar
forwards until the mark in the tow bar mount is reached.
f
Release the button so that the locking bolt secures the tow bar in the tow bar mount.
f
Release the locking knob so that it jumps back into the closed position and additionally secures the
tow bar.
Tip!
You do not have to remove the tow bar completely. Simply place the tow bar into the tow
bar mount from behind to stow it under the cabin floor, see
„Insert tow bar“ on page 23
.
Mounting the coupler onto a bicycle
Danger!

„Performance limits“

best to consult your specialist dealer or the bicycle manufacturer in order to do this.
Caution!
Secure the bicycle to prevent it from toppling over, and make sure that the rear wheel can-
not drop out of the axle mount after the screw connection has been undone. Use for exam-
ple an assembly stand, or turn the bicycle upside down so that you can place it on its saddle
and handlebars.
In the as-delivered state, the supplied coupler is connected to the tow bar:
