4.4 Attaching Your Carrier to the Hitch

 

Cup on Your Bicycle

 

Remove any other conversion kits from the wheel arm attachment bracket. Insert the hitch arm by pressing the small button and sliding the arm into the wheel arm attachment bracket. The large button should engage into the hole on the wheel arm attachment bracket.

Insert the securing pin down through the small rear hole in the wheel arm attachment bracket.

Place the CH-5 Hitch Ball into the Axle Mounted Hitch Cup (inserted from the for- ward open end). Fully insert the hitch ball into the Axle Mounted Hitch Cup.

Place the Securing Pin through the holes on the front of the Axle Mounted Hitch Cup so as to trap the CH-5 Hitch Ball in the Axle Mounted Hitch Cup. The Securing Pin must be installed from the top of the Axle Mounted hitch cup. Pull the rubber strap over the front of the Axle Mounted Hitch Cup and over the securing pin end. The “Chariot” logo should face forward.

Wrap the Hitch Back-up Safety Strap around the bicycle chainstay and attach the safety clip to the D-ring on the hitch arm. If the Hitch Back-up Safety Strap is not long enough to wrap around the bicycle chain- stay (because of a non typical rear triangle), wrap it around the rear axle flange (between the drop out and the wheel hub).

Using the pin riveted onto the hitch arm, push the pin through upper horizontal hole in the wheel arm attachment bracket, there- by securing the hitch arm.

Failure to insert securing pin could cause the carrier to separate from the bicycle resulting in an accident and serious injury.

Failure to properly attach the hitch back- up safety strap could result in loss of carrier and serious injury or death to the occupants.

Do not use the hitch if you cannot properly install the hitch back-up safety strap to your bicycle. See your Chariot Dealer for possible alternatives.

4.5 Hitch Arm Storage

The hitch arm can be stored on the side of the carrier. The carrier must be fully upright- ed to do so. Insert the long straight section of the hitch arm into the bracket on the side of the carrier. Slide the arm down until the end of the hitch arm fits into the carrier’s front wheel arm attachment bracket.

For a short distance on flat terrain, the hitch arm can be rotated and used as a pulling device. From a passenger’s perspective, rotate the hitch arm 90 degrees counter- clockwise. The strap should be pointing towards the outside of the carrier. Push down the small button on the hitch arm and slide it into the left wheel arm attachment bracket. You will not be able see the large button engage, however check that engage- ment has occured by making sure you can not pull the arm from the carrier. Insert the securing pin through horizontal hole as in section 4.5.
