f
Push the front button on the tow bar 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
Also secure the tow bar additionally, by placing the cotter pin through the middle hole of the
tow bar mount and folding down the securing bracket.
Tip!
You do not have to remove the tow bar after use. Instead, simply fold it under the
cabin floor, see
“Insert tow bar” on page 22
.
Mounting the coupler onto a bicycle
Danger!
Make sure that your bicycle is suitable for towing a bicycle trailer, see
“Performance
limits” on page 4
. Since it may in some cases be necessary to change the rear
wheel axle, it is 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
cannot drop out of the axle mount after the screw connection has been undone. Use
for example 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:
f
Undo the cotter pin fastening and remove the coupler.
f
Next, insert the cotter pin fastening back into the
coupler pocket of the tow bar.
f
Prepare the bicycle for mounting the coupler by
undoing the screw connection of the rear wheel axle:
–
Quick-release axle: Open the bracket of the quick-release axle and unscrew the cap nut on
the other side of the rear wheel axle.
–
Full axle: Unscrew the nut on the left side of the rear wheel axle.
f
Mount the coupler on the rear wheel axle:
–
Place the large hole of the coupler onto the left
side of the rear wheel axle so that the coupler is
facing outwards.
–
Screw on the dedicated nut and tighten it slightly.
–
Align the rear wheel so that it can turn freely.
–
Align the coupler so that it faces horizontally to the
rear.
f
Tighten the connection firmly in order to secure the rear wheel:
–
Quick-release axle: Tighten the cap nut until you can close the clamp with a certain amount
of pressure.
–
Full axle: Tighten the nut with a spanner. Always pay attention to the bicycle manufacturer’s
notes about the tightening torque.
Caution!
Due to the construction of the coupler, slight wear and tear in the form of scratches
can occur at the connection between bicycle frame and coupler. This is not a reason
for a complaint.
Danger!
Do not use a washer or similar at the connection between the bicycle frame and
coupler because this could negatively affect the stability of the connection.
Tip!
The supplied universal coupler is suitable for mounting on most rear-wheel versions.
If it does not fit your bicycle, you can find suitable special couplers and conversion sets
