Pull the seat post out of the bicycle frame.
Take out the hitch, which is fastened to the
seat post, out of the coupler and slide it onto
the seat post. The hitch must fit securely on-
to the seat post. Make sure to install the cor-
rect hitch and shim. The hitch should not
have any play at the seatpost. You should not
need to open the hitch more than 1 mm –
any more and the hitch is too tight. Re-insert
the seatpost into the frame and position the
hitch close to the frame, but high enough
such that you can lower the seat post if
necessary. The hitch must be aligned with
the rear of the bike, and tightened with
a 5 mm allen key to a maximum of 9 Nm.
Warning:
Do not mount the trailer to carbon
or other lightweight seat posts. For dropper
posts please make sure to follow all manufac-
turer instructions.

Attaching the trailer to the bike: The coupler
quick release must be open and the hitch
and coupler must be free of contamination
(eg. dirt, water, grease). Push the coupler
over the hitch until it is completely inserted
(the coupler will almost contact the seat
post). Grasp the trailer coupler with one
hand, and move the bicycle and hitch
towards coupler with the other. Make sure
that the Streamliner hangs straight behind
the bike. Proceed as follows:
a) Always insert the cotter pin through
the hitch and coupling.
b) The quick-release fastener needs to be
attached securely and closed accurately.

Ergonomics:
•
Slide the stem on the drawbar so that the
child has a comfortable seating position.
The child should be able to comfortably
reach the handlebar with without stretching.
To adjust the stem loosen the 2 bolts on the
lower part of the stem and slide it. Make sure
to re-tighten the bolts with a torque of 8Nm.
•
Adjust the saddle height for your child.
They should be able to touch the pedal with
their heel when their leg is straightened.
Taller children may require a longer seat-
post. Never extend the seatpost beyond the
minimum-insertion markings.
•
Adjust the reach of the brake lever using
an Allen key, turning the bolt until the lever
is just in front of the middle finger knuckle.
