Chariot Carriers CX 1, CX 2 Safety Instructions, Use as a wheel brake, Use as a parking brake

Page 18

On inclines a maximum speed of 5 km/h / 3 mph is prescribed, otherwise there is a risk of the brakes overheating leading to possible brake failure.

The maximum permissible speed for using the brake system with the carrier on level stretches is 15 km/h / 9 mph.

As part of the use as intended, you should also follow this Owner’s Manual and comply with the prescribed maintenance requirements.

DANGER

Do not touch the brake drum at the wheel centre after a long period of use, as the brake drums can become hot and there is a risk of getting burnt.

In the even of use not as intended the brake may overheat. This may lead to reduction in braking force or even brake failure.

Use not as intended

Any use that goes beyond the above is not as intended.

Use not as intended arises from overloading the carrier, excessive speed and improper repair of defects or modifi cations.

The manufacturer is not liable for damages arising from use that is not as intended – this is at the risk of the user.

DANGER

On inclines a maximum speed of 5 km/h / 3 mph is therefore highly recommended, otherwise there is a risk of the brakes overheating, leading to possible brake failure.

Please note that the brake system is only designed to decelerate the carrier with its permissible maximum weight.

Safety Instructions

General safety instructions

Before use, please read the safety instructions in Sections 6 and 7.

Warning against unauthorised modifications

For reasons of safety, unauthorised rebuilds of and/or modifi cations to the brake system are not permitted.

The brake system is only to be used as supplied by the manufacturer, permanently attached to the Chariot CX.

Conversion of the brake system to other carriers is not permitted.

Retrofi tting of the brake system to an older Chariot CX model or other carrier is not permitted.

Unauthorised rebuilds and modifi cations render the warranty invalid.

Use as a wheel brake

During travel the carrier can be decelerated and brought to a stop by operating the brake from the brake lever. The brake allows you to counteract unintended acceleration on inclines.

Before using the brake system for the fi rst time, acquaint yourself with its braking effect in a safe place and away from road traffi c.

Brakes transform kinetic energy into heat and for this reason heat up.

DANGER

During inline skating, for instance, the brake system is not suitable for decelerating the transporter weight as well as your own weight. You will need to also apply the deceleration procedures that are possible in inline skating.

Use as a parking brake

The brake system can also be used to secure the carrier against running away when it is parked.

For this, the brake lever has to be operated and blocked with the locking pushbutton (F).
