WARNING
Ask your SCOTT dealer for appropriate child/pet/cargo trailers.
Observe the maximum permissible gross weight of the child/pet/cargo trail-
er. You find this information on the trailer and/or in the accompanying user
manuals of the respective manufacturer. If you are in doubt, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
Observe the maximum permissible overall weight of your SCOTT bike.
Use a child/pet/cargo trailer only, if permitted by the national and regional
regulations in the country where you are travelling.
Observe the national and regional regulations on the use of child/pet/cargo
trailers.
Always observe the maximum permissible overall weight of your bicycle
when adding a trailer and observe the chapter “Notes on the maximum per-
missible overall weight”.
The following points have to be observed when using a child/pet/cargo trailer:
• Never set off before having safely stowed the objects in the trailer, i.e. actively se-
cured with tightening straps
(c)
. Cargo shifting may otherwise negatively affect
the centre of gravity and thus the riding behaviour.
• Stow heavy objects as far down as possible and towards the centre of the trailer.
When distributing the loads make sure the trailer is loaded as evenly as possible.
• Uncontrolled movements of the child or pet can cause your SCOTT bike and/or
the trailer to tilt. Therefore, always buckle up your children and pets in the trailer.
