Safety Guidelines

Sixteen important rules for the safe use of your Chariot Carrier.

1.Read all instructions before use! Failure to read, understand and follow these instructions may result in an otherwise avoidable accident in which you and/or your passengers could suffer serious injury or death.

2.The safe and proper use of this product is your responsibility! Take a practice bicycle ride, walk/run, or hike with a weighted carrier (weighted greater than your expected load with children and cargo) before using your carrier to ensure you can handle a loaded carrier in each activity. Be extremely careful on hills and try to avoid them if possible. In addition to safe bicycle practices, the rules listed below must be followed at all times.

3.Make sure your bicycle is in good working condition. We recommend a frequent safety check of your bike by a certified bicycle mechanic.

4.Do not modify or alter carrier or bicycle. Ask your Chariot Dealer if you are not sure whether your bicycle is compatible with your carrier.

5.When used as a bicycle trailer, children must be at least 1 year old and be able to sit upright alone. Consult your pediatrician before carrying any child younger than one year.

6.Do not exceed the maximum carrier load of 100 lb (45 kg). This capacity includes the weight of child/children and cargo. Articles carried in the carrier should be well anchored to avoid shifting during travel. Unstable loads and overloading make the carrier less stable and more difficult to control.

7.Always fasten shoulder harness, lap belt and crotch strap securely and tightly around children. Periodically check placement of shoulder straps, especially for a sleeping child. Make sure children cannot put fingers into the wheel spokes. Instruct children not to bounce, rock or lean.

8.Do not leave children unattended in the carrier.

9.To insure a smooth ride, keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure shown on the tire side wall. Check tire pressure before each use. Over inflating tires or use of high pressure tires can cause the carrier to overturn.

10.Use this carrier only with non-motorized bicycles capable of supporting the additional load of the carrier and child. Do not use your carrier on electric bicycles, motorcycles, mopeds, automobiles or any other motor vehicle. Check the information supplied with your bike to verify compatibility or ask your dealer.

11.Do not use a kickstand or other parking device to support the bicycle with a trailer attached. Attaching a trailer can change the balance of the bicycle making kickstands ineffective. The bicycle can fall over, damaging it and the trailer.

12.Always use the high visibility flag supplied with the trailer. Do not assume you have the right-of-way. Do not pull your trailer in high traffic areas such as busy streets, highways or anyplace it may be unsafe to ride with children.

13.Always verify that the folding brackets are secure and hold the carrier in an upright position.

14.Avoid riding at night. Your ability to see and be seen is greatly reduced. If you must ride at night, use proper lighting and reflectors on your bicycle and wear bright reflective clothing

15.Both cyclist and children must wear approved bicycle helmets. If your child is too small to properly wear the smallest size approved helmet, they should not ride in the carrier.

16.Always obey all traffic laws, and use proper hand signals.

WARNING!

Bicycle trailers can tip over causing serious injury to passenger/rider.

Hitting an obstacle with a wheel may cause the trailer to tip over at any speed!
