Chariot Carriers CX 1, CX 2 Adjusting the suspension Cougar and CX, Larly to the upper mesh bag

Page 16

The bracket of the adjustable storage bag support bar has two settings, an upper and a lower one. Make sure that the storage bag engages properly in both positions. Before you change the position of the storage bag, you must release the quick-release skewers on each of the side brackets. Once you have changed the position, you must once again tighten the quick-release skewers.

4.8Adjusting the suspension (Cougar and CX)

The Cougar and CX are equipped with adjustable suspension.

After loosening the knob, it is possible to move the clamp that surrounds both leaf springs. The more this clamp is moved in the direction of the wheel axle, the stiffer the suspension becomes (see the weight scale on the top spring).

DANGER

Make sure that you always close the quick-release skewers of the storage bag. Particularly in the case of models with sus- pension, this can come into contact with the tires during travel and cause damage. This may result in serious accidents.

TIP

When folding up the storage bag, make sure that the lower two straps under the bag are not tensioned too tightly.

The weight indications on the scale are calculated from the weight of the child(ren) and cargo (ie. You do not need to add the weight of the carrier).

The weight indications on the scale relate fi rst and foremost to use as a Bicycle Trailer. For other uses it may be a good idea to set the suspension softer. If you discover that when riding over bumps the suspension can be felt and likely heard , then the suspension is set too soft and you need to move the knob rearwards.

DANGER

Never carry any heavy or protruding items in the storage bags of the carrier if you are also carrying children at the same time (risk of injury on braking). This applies particu-

larly to the upper mesh bag!

DANGER

Items of luggage should be well secured so that they cannot move around during the journey. Unsecured items of luggage and overloading reduce riding stability and make the carrier more diffi cult to handle.

DANGER

Depending on the type of use, the storage bags may only be loaded to a certain weight. The load of the storage bag is limited by the manufacturer to 4 kg/8.8lb and that of the handlebar bag to 1 kg/2.2lb. Please also refer to the instruc- tions relating to load in Sections 5 to 10.

WARNING

Make sure that you retighten the knobs once you have adjus- ted the clamp.

TIP

Where there are different weights on each of the two sides of the carrier, or where only one side is loaded, we recommend that the spring stiffness on each side be adjusted to the weight of the side in question.
