Installation instructions for the Yepp Mini
The Yepp Mini is suitable for carrying children up to a maximum
weight of 15 kg / 33 pounds including child, pack and contents.
The Yepp Mini can be attached to steel handlebar stems from 20
to 28mm / 0.8 to 1.1 inches in diameter using the fittings supplied.
Installation
The Yepp Mini must always be
installed on the bicycle facing forward.
• Attach the handlebar stem fitting to the handlebar stem as
shown in Drawing 3. Tighten both socket head screws firmly
(tightening torque 8 Nm).
• Assemble the seat as shown in Drawing 1. Tighten both socket
head screws firmly (tightening torque 8 Nm).
• The Yepp Mini is attached in two stages. Press the red knob and
pull the grey slide backwards at the same time. Position the seat
over the lip on the clamp. Release the slide and push the seat
straight down until it clicks into place. This means the seat is
secured automatically. Check by pulling the seat upwards. If it is
secured properly, you will not be able pull it out.
• For additional security, always lock the seat (Drawing 4a).
Make a note of the key number so you can get a replacement
if the original key is lost.
• To release the seat, perform the above actions in reverse order.
• Place your child in the seat and position the footrests to the
correct height (Drawing 6). Connect the straps once the footrests
are in the correct position.
• Close the 5-point harness and adjust it to the correct length
(Drawing 7). To open the harness: press both halves of the clip in
and push both sides (dark grey) in at the same time.
• Additional attachment blocks are available for attaching the seat
to a second bicycle.
• Always ensure that the harness is fastened snugly around the child.
• Never modify the child seat in any way.
• Use the Yepp Mini only on a bicycle that is in good working order,
of a type suitable for carrying the additional load, and of a proper
size and adjustment for the rider. Check the owner’s manual that
accompanied the bicycle or contact the bicycle manufacturer or
distributor to obtain this information.
The Yepp Mini can only be attached
to steel handlebar stems from 20 to 28mm / 0.8 to 1.1 inches in
diameter using the fitting clamp supplied.
• Always remove the child seat from the bicycle when the bicycle is
being transported on a motor vehicle. Air turbulence on the child seat
can damage the child seat, which could cause a dangerous situation.
• Do not use the seat if any part of it appears damaged. Have any
damaged parts replaced by your dealer.
• Never leave your child in the
child seat unattended or with
the bicycle supported only by
the kickstand.
Note that cycling with a child in a child
seat will lessen the stability and alter the way the bicycle handles,
particularly regarding steering and braking or how the rider
mounts or dismounts the bicycle. Take a test ride without a child
in the child seat (put some weight in the seat to simulate the child’s
weight) to ensure that everything is installed properly and that the
seat does not hinder your ability to operate the bicycle safely.
• Make sure that the Yepp Mini is always firmly secured by turning
the integrated lock to the locked position (Drawing 4a). It is both a
safety precaution and prevents possible theft of the Yepp Mini.
• Before each ride, ensure that the child seat does not interfere
with braking, pedaling, or steering of the bicycle.
• Never ride at the bicycle night without adequate lighting.
Steering movement may be restricted
with a child seat attached to the handlebars. You will need to install
different handlebars if the steering movement is less than 45
degrees to each side.
• Always fasten the harness, even if you are not carrying a child in
the seat, so that it does not hang loose.
• Always use the foot support straps.
Ensure that both the rider and the
child are wearing approved and properly-fitting helmets.
Do not ride in inclement or hazardous
conditions, including temperatures below freezing that could
cause the child to suffer frostbite.
• Never carry bags or other luggage in the child seat. Additionally,
additional luggage and accessories should not be attached to the
child seat, as they may exceed the 15 kg / 33 pound load limit and
may lessen stability.
• Use a sturdy (two-legged) kickstand.
Only children who are able to hold
their head upright while wearing a bicycle helmet (approximately
one year old) should be passengers in a child seat. Additionally,
do not carry a child who is too young to sit comfortably and
independently in the child seat.
• Never carry two children in one seat.
• The Yepp Mini should not be used on a moped or a scooter.
• Check that the child seat has not
become too hot in the sun before
putting a child in it.
• Never lift the Yepp Mini with a
child in it.
• Check initially, and then regularly thereafter, that your child’s
weight does not exceed 15 kg / 33 pounds. For bigger children,
GMG offers the Yepp Maxi and the Yepp Junior.
Check frequently
that all fittings are sufficiently tight.
• Any damaged or broken parts must be replaced immediately.
Consult your dealer.
• Check that using the Yepp Mini is permitted by law in the state in
which you intend to use it. If allowed, the minimum age for a rider
to carry a child in a Yepp Mini child seat may vary from state to
state.
• Do not allow any of the child’s body, clothing, shoe laces, or toys
to come in contact with moving parts of the bicycle.
• Always replace the child seat after an accident, even if there is
no visible damage.
Cleaning
• Cleaning the Yepp Mini is simple: clean with lukewarm soapy
water. Never use aggressive cleaning agents.
