Safety instructions for use as a Bicycle Trailer

General safety instructions for operation as a bicycle trailer:

Basics

•Please make sure you read the safety instructions in the “Safety” section at the beginning of this Owner’s Manual.

•Only cyclists who are experienced and strong enough may tow bicycle trailers. If you wish to carry children in the bicycle trailer, you must be 16 years old or over.

•Make sure that your bicycle is in good and safe condition. We recommend you have your bicycle regularly serviced by a bicycle retailer.

•If you are not sure whether your bicycle is suitable for towing a trailer, please ask your bicycle retailer.

•We recommend that especially long rear wheel mudguards and rear-view mirrors be ﬁ tted to the bicycle that is to tow.

•When using this trailer, please also follow the Owner’s Manual of the bicycle used for towing. Find out whether your bicycle is permitted for use in towing bicycle trailers and the permitted overall weight of the bicycle/trailer vehicle.

•When parking the vehicle, make sure it cannot tip over. Attaching the trailer changes the bicycle’s centre of gravity, so that certain types of kickstands cannot be used in connection with a trailer. The bicycle may tip over. The trailer and bicycle may get damaged. If in doubt ask your specialist dealer.
