Read all warnings and notes in this owner‘s manual carefully before using the trailer.
Check your trailer for any changes. Aluminium components can break suddenly if they have been
deformed. Do not use any components that are deformed or bent, e.g. after the trailer has tipped
over. Always replace such components.
Before riding in road traffic, please inform yourself about the national statutory requirements. Be
sure to observe them. In Germany, this is regulated by the StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing
Regulations) and the STVO (German Road Traffic Regulations).
Statutory requirements specify that lighting on the trailer should be designed as follows:
If you notice any changes on your trailer, DO NOT continue riding with it. Take the trailer to your
specialist retailer, describe how the trailer tipped over and have it checked!
Before your first ride and then before each ride, check that:
•
the coupling system is securely connected to the bike. The coupling must be tight and impossible
to twist,
•
that the tyre pressure is at 2.5 bar. Information on the prescribed tyre pressure can also be found
on the side walls of the tyres. Adhere to the minimum and maximum pressure specifications!
•
the tyres and rims for damage, true running and any foreign bodies that may be stuck in them,
•
the panels (and/or rail) are tightly screwed in place,
•
the load is correctly distributed and secured,
•
the lights work and are adequately charged.
•
Test whether both wheels are seated correctly. Lift up the trailer on the right and left and
turn the wheels. The rim must run straight and true.
•
Check whether the panels are broken or have been torn out of their fixings.
An unsecured panel that can slip or come loose while riding can cause the trailer to tip over heavily
and injuries.
•
Check that the connecting components (coupling and tow arm) between your bike and the trailer for
any cracks or fracture points.
•
Check that the coupling is firmly attached.
1. If the trailer‘s width exceeds 600 mm:
Two white reflectors mounted in pairs (max. 200 mm to outer edge).
2. If the trailer is wider than 1000 mm, a white light must also be fitted on the
left-hand side.
3. If the trailer is less than 1000 mm wide, an additional white light may be installed.
