1.2 Handlebar Instructions
Insert both ends of the handlebar into the aluminum sleeves located at the upper rear section of the carrier.
WARNING: Failure to properly install the handlebars or use the wrist safety strap could cause the carrier to become separated from you resulting in serious injury.
1.3 Parking Brake Instructions
The parking brake is located at the center of the rear axle under the rear storage bag.
Depress both spring buttons and insert the handlebars fully into the sleeves. Both spring buttons must “pop” out of the holes located on the inner side of the sleeves to secure the handlebar in place.
Engage the parking brake by pressing the plunger down on the brake housing.
To adjust handle bar height, simply remove the handlebar by depressing the spring buttons and pulling the handle bar out of the aluminum sleeve. Rotate the handlebars
180o, and
Disengage the parking brake by lifting the plunger upwards.
1.4 Suspension Adjustments (Cougar 1 and 2 models only)
All Cougar models come with adjustable suspension. Four adjustment ranges are suggested, but it can be used in any position. The weight ranges suggested are based on the carrier being used for cycling. The setting could be softer or stiffer for strolling/jogging. Experimenting may be required.
4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Note the 4 positions outlined in table where 1 represents the lightest load and 4 represents the heaviest load.
NOTE: To determine the weight, you must combine the weight of the passengers and cargo. To adjust simply loosen knob, slide bracket to desired weight range, and tighten knob.
NOTE: The bracket should be moved to the location next to the weights noted (not on top of the position).
If the suspension is making a hard "knock- ing" sound, it means the weight setting is too low and you need to slide the bracket further towards the rear. Typically, the sus- pension on both sides should be set to the same position/range, however it is possible to have them set to different positions if a lighter child is on one side and a heavier child on the other.
