Safety instructions for use as an

XC Skiing Carrier

•Please note: For the CX 1 and CX 2 models there is a special XC Skiing Kit.

•The XC Skiing Kit of the other models does not ﬁt because the axle is too short. The short axle will not engage fully in the CX1 and CX2 models, with the result that the skis would not be held securely.

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

•Before each journey check that all components are properly ﬁ tted, particularly the skis and the tow bars.

•Always make sure that the security pin of the tow bars are properly installed, so as to prevent the carrier from accidentally separating from the arms.

•Always make sure the buckle on the strap is securely closed and the strap ﬁ ts tightly. If this is not done, the XC Skiing Carrier might get separated from you and slide away. You run the risk of an accident!

•Make sure the length of the tow bars are adjusted correctly, to ensure that your skis or poles will not come into contact with the carrier.

•Remember that the additional weight of the carrier with the XC skiing kit considerably changes the way you ski, particularly going up or down hills. For this reason, only an experienced skier should use the carrier with the XC skiing kit.

•First take the carrier with the XC skiing kit for a practice run without children, but with the maximum load. Perform the practice run on terrain that is more difﬁ cult to ski than that which you want to travel later with children.

•Be mindful of the increased space needed when cross- country skiing, due to the width and length of the carrier. Take care in oncoming trafﬁ c!

•Never use the carrier with the XC skiing kit for downhill skiing.

•Never tow the carrier with the XC skiing kit behind a snowmobile, quad or any motorized vehicle

•Use extreme caution on hills, challenging trails, and when stopping.

•Regularly check on your children to ensure they are comfortable and are warm enough.

TIP

Check that use of the XC Skiing Carrier is allowed in the skiing region where you intend to use it.
