Regularly check that the
belt system is properly
attached to the cabin and
in impeccable condition. Damaged
straps or buckles must be replaced
immediately! An improperly fastened
or worn belt system may break,
loose or rupture in the event of an
impact, resulting in serious injury to
the child!
Regularly check that the
plastic tub has no cracks or
other damage! A damaged
tub must be replaced immediately!
From time to time, check that the screws
connecting the various cabin tubes have
not loosened and, if necessary, retighten
them to the specified torques (see
section
Tightening torques of certain screws
p.<Pgrf2>). Under no circumstances
should you exceed the specified torque,
as otherwise the pipes may be deformed.
Transport platform
K
The transport platform consists of
waterproof glued phenolic resin
coated plywood. At the cutting, drilling
and milling surfaces, the plate needs
additional protection against penetrating
moisture. Upon delivery, such protection
is applied. However, due to mechanical
stress and wear the sealing properties
may be lost over time. Therefore, from
time to time, check that the edge sealing
is still in good condition and renew the
sealing if necessary.
Chain
The chain of a cargo bike is exposed to
high forces and therefore requires regular
care and maintenance. Dirty chains are
subject to increased wear.
Just as important as a well-cleaned
and lubricated chain is the right chain
tension. An incorrect chain tension has
negative effects on the wear out of
other parts such as sprocket or chain
wheel. Furthermore, the chain can jump
off the sprocket or chainwheel due to
insufficient chain tension. Furthermore,
the right chain tension is important for
a precise shifting of the gear hub. Check
the chain tension regularly and adjust it if
necessary.
Due to the loads occurring during
pedalling, the chain lengthens with time.
Since the elongated chain links no longer
optimally fit the teeth of the chainwheel
and sprocket, these parts are subject
to increased wear. Therefore, the chain
must be replaced in good time. If the
sprockets and / or the chainwheel
are already worn out, it is advisable to
replace them together with the chain.
Cleaning
To clean the chain, first remove
dirt and lubricants with a dry cloth. Now
apply a suitable chain lubricant and let it
act for a few minutes. Excess lubricant is
then removed with a cloth.
When lubricating the chain,
make sure that no lubricant
gets in contact with the
brake discs or brake pads and the
tires as this would greatly reduce the
braking power and the road grip of
the tires.
