4.8Adjusting the suspension (Captain XL and Corsaire XL only)

The Captain XL and Corsaire XL are equipped with adjustable suspension.

After loosening the knob, it is possible to move the clamp that surrounds both leaf springs. The more this clamp is moved in the direction of the wheel axle, the stiffer the suspension becomes (see the weight scale on the top spring).

The weight indications on the scale are calculated from the weight of the child(ren) and cargo (ie. You do not need to add the weight of the carrier).

The weight indications on the scale relate ﬁ rst and foremost to use as a Bicycle Trailer. For other uses it may be a good idea to set the suspension softer. If you discover that when riding over bumps the suspension can be felt and likely heard , then the suspension is set too soft and you need to move the knob rearwards.

WARNING

Make sure that you retighten the knobs once you have adjus- ted the clamp.

TIP

Where there are different weights on each of the two sides of the carrier, or where only one side is loaded, we recommend that the spring stiffness on each side be adjusted to the weight of the side in question.
