KidGoo2 – Q9000-S
Utilisation
f
Pull the side harnesses to the middle and connect the two parts of the tongue.
f
Push the tongue into the harness catch until it engages audibly.
f
Check that all parts of the 5-point safety harness fit properly and comfortably.
f
Close the cover and the associated toggle and Velcro fasteners.
Danger!
Before every journey, check that the safety harnesses and harness catches are sitting
correctly. Failure of the restraining function can result in serious or even fatal injuries
in the event of an accident. Do not set off until all children are wearing a bicycle
helmet and are properly fastened in.
Checking the weight distribution and tow bar load
An optimum weight distribution is important for safe handling: The load’s centre of gravity should
always lie in the centre of the wheel axle. The tow bar load with which the tow bar lies on the
coupler must be neither too great or too low in Trailer mode:
Tow bar load too great (> 8 kg): Too much load on the coupler.
Tow bar load too low (< 3 kg): The trailer could reduce the traction of the rear wheel through
lifting and thereby cause critical situations in curves.
Centre of gravity too far out: Loading on one side makes tipping over while cornering more
likely.
Danger!
Distribute the load evenly across the width of the
KidGoo2
.
Check the tow bar load before every journey with a trailer. Tow bar loads outside the
permitted range of 3 – 8 kg cause critical handling performance.
Checking the tow bar load
Use bathroom scales, for example, to measure the tow bar load:
f
Load the
KidGoo2
in the usual way and fasten the children in.
f
Do not connect the trailer to the bicycle yet.
f
Place the bathroom scales next to the tow bar.
f
Get onto the bathroom scales and note the weight displayed.
f
Lift the tow bar’s coupler pocket to the coupler height (approx. 35 cm).
f
Determine the tow bar load by making a comparison
with the previous measured value:
–
The weight
must be at least 3 kg more
than the
measured value without the tow bar.
–
The weight
may be a maximum of 8 kg more
than
the measured value without the tow bar.
