User Manual
CAUTION!
Approved according to
ASTM F1625-00(2012)
WARNING:
Improper installation, use or maintenance of
the bicycle child seat can result in serious
injury or death to the child or rider. To reduce
these risks read and follow the important
warnings and instructions below.
• ALWAYS use the safety belt/restraint
system and ensure the child is snugly
restrained in the seat.
• ALWAYS Ensure the rider and child wear
approved and properly fitted bicycle helmets.
• NEVER leave a child unattended in the carrier.
• NEVER leave a child in the carrier with the
bicycle supported only by the kick stand.
• DO NOT use the carrier if any part is broken or
missing.
• DO NOT modify the carrier. This may create a
dangerous condition and will invalidate the
warranty.
• DO NOT attach extra luggage or equipment
to the carrier, as they may exceed the load
limit and lessen stability. The maximum
capacity of the carrier is 22 kg (48.5 lb).
• IMPORTANT: The load of a child carrier will
lessen the bicycle’s stability and alter
handling characteristics, particularly steering
and braking.
• Presence of a child carrier on a bicycle may
require alteration of the method used by the
rider to mount or dismount the bicycle. Take
care when getting on or off bicycle.
• Before each ride, ensure the mounted carrier
does not interfere with braking, pedaling or
steering of the bicycle.
• NEVER ride the bicycle in inclement or
hazardous conditions.
• NEVER ride the bicycle at night without
adequate lighting.
• Reflectors meeting CPSC regulations must
be visible whether the carrier is on the
bicycle or not.
• BE CERTAIN any exposed saddle springs are
covered.
• BE CERTAIN foot protectors are attached.
INSTALLATION
• Can be mounted on bicycles with a luggage
carrier which meets the EN 14872 standard
(25 Kg or more).
• Can be mounted on bicycles with a luggage
carrier with a width between 120 and 180 mm.
• Can be mounted on bicycles with a luggage
carrier with a tube diameter between 10 and
20 mm.
• Cannot be mounted on bicycles with a
luggage carrier that is does not have straight
and parallel sides
• Cannot be mounted on bicycles with a
luggage carrier with a tube diameter of less
than 10 mm
• Cannot be mounted on bicycles with a
luggage carrier with a tube diameter of more
than 20 mm
• The seat should only be mounted on a bicycle
which is suitable for this kind of load. Please
ask your bicycle supplier for detailed advice.
• The child seat is fitted on the luggage carrier
of the bike with the carrier adapter. See
picture E. The carrier adapter knob must be
tightened hard enough to fix the seat securely
and prevent it from sliding. Make it a rule to
check this before starting a trip with the bike.
• Make sure the carrier adapter is well
tightened and check this at regular intervals
• The additional safety strap needs to be
secured to the bicycle frame or seat post
• For optimal comfort and safety of the child,
ensure that the seat does not slope forwards,
so that the child does not tend to slide out of it.
Hamax recommend that the backrest should
slope backwards slightly.
• Check all parts of the bike that they function
correctly with the bicycle seat mounted.
• Make sure any exposed rear saddle springs
are covered
USE
• To take a child on a bicycle, the rider must
normally be over 16 years. Check your
national laws and regulations.
• The child seat is approved for children from
about 9 months to 6 years or maximum 22 kg
weight. Ensure that you re-check from time to
time that the child’s weight and size do not
exceed the maximum capacity of the seat.
• Do not carry a child that is too young to sit
safely in the seat. The child must be able to sit
unaided for a longer period of time, at least as
long as the intended bicycle journey. Please
observe the recommended minimum age.
If you are uncertain, please consult a
pediatrician.
• Ensure that it is not possible for any part of
the child’s body or clothing to come into
contact with any moving part of the seat or
cycle and to re-check as the child grows, due
to the danger of entrapment of feet in the
wheel and of the finders in brake mechanisms
and sprung saddles. The child seat gives good
side and feet protection. However, you are
recommended to buy and fit a closed wheel
guard/chain guard. You can buy this at your
bicycle dealer.
• Check there are no sharp objects, such as split
wires, on the bicycle that can harm the child.
• Ensure that the restraint system is not loose
or able to become trapped in any moving
parts particularly the wheels, including when
the cycle is ridden without a child in the seat.
• Always use the safety belt/restraint system,
ensuring the child is restrained in the seat.
• A child sitting in a child seat should be dressed
more warmly than the rider.
• The child should be protected against rain
with suitable waterproof garments.
• The rider and the child should both be wearing
approved and properly fit helmets.
• Remember that the child seat can get very hot
standing out in the sunshine, so check the
child seat before placing your child in it.
• When transporting the bicycle by car (outside
the car) remove the seat. Air turbulence might
damage the seat or loosen its fastenings to
the cycle, which could result in an accident.
MAINTENANCE
• When cleaning the seat, use only lukewarm
soapy water.
• If the child seat is involved in an accident or
are damaged, contact your dealer to check
that it can still be used. Damaged parts must
always be replaced. Contact your dealer if
you are not sure how to fit the new parts.
We wish you and your child many enjoyable
bicycle trips with your Hamax child seat!
