Attaching the Axle-Mount ezHitch

The Axle-Mount ezHitch must always be attached to the left-hand side of the bicycle (as seen in the direction of travel).

Bicycle with quick-release axle

Remove the existing quick-release. Loosen the nut of the Chariot quick-release.

Push the quick-release axle through the hitch and then through the axle of the wheel.

The opening for the hitch ball and the vertical hole for the security pin must point forward.

Fit the quick-release nut on the right-hand side. Both skewer springs must be located in such a way that the narrow side of each spring points towards the centre of the hub.

DANGER

The quick-release nut must be tightened on the axle thread by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A thread which is too short can lead to accidental loosening of the rear wheel, with damage and accidents as a result.

If in doubt ask your specialist retailer!

Close the quick-release lever with the end of the lever pointing upwards. In this position there is enough space to insert the security pin.

In order to ensure that the hub is clamped suffi ciently in the dropouts, the quick-release lever must begin gripping as it moves from the open to the middle position, and approaching the closed position you should clearly feel resistance as you tighten.

If it is too easy or too diffi cult to move the quick-release, tighten or loosen the lock nut on the other side of the hub to adjust.

If you don’t feel confident operating the quick-release, please ask your specialist retailer for assistance.

DANGER

Always make sure that the quick-release is correctly atta- ched. An incorrectly tensioned quick-release may result in the rear wheel coming loose and lead to accidents.

Bicycle with solid axle

Unscrew the rear wheels left-hand axle nut and the spacer or plane washer.

Install the Axle-Mount ezHitch on the axle.

The opening for the hitch ball and the vertical hole for the security pin must point forward.

Screw the wheels axle nut and the spacer or plain washer back on and tighten them securely.

DANGER

Depending on the hub type, the existing torque support washer for the hub must stay on the frame. Please follow the assembly instructions for the hub and the manufacturer’s torque specifi cations when fastening the axle nut. If in doubt always ask your specialist retailer.

DANGER

The rear wheels axle nut must be tightened on the axle thread by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A thread which is too short can lead to accidental loosening of the rear wheel, with damage and accidents as a result.

If in doubt ask your specialist retailer!
