Chariot Carriers Corsaire XL, Captain XL manual Operating the parking brake

Screw the two self-locking nuts onto the two side bolts. Screw them on so that the end of the bolt protrudes through the nut, but not so tight that the brake cannot move.

Cabriolet und Corsaire XL: Inside the carrier, screw the third self-locking nut onto the bolt of the brake pivoting mechanism.

Captain XL: Screw the third self-locking nut onto the bolt of the brake pivoting mechanism.

DANGER

Always make sure that the self-locking nuts are only screwed onto the bolts until the end of the bolt protrudes through the nut. If this does not happen, the self-locking nuts cannot fulfi l their self-locking function, and this may result in the brake working loose. You run the risk of an accident!

Operating the parking brake

When the parking brake is released the operating lever points to the right and should be resting up against the lower rear edge of the carrier (seen in the direction of travel).

To apply the brake, the operating lever must be moved completely to the left. Once you have moved it past the middle of the carrier, the operating lever should automatically overcenter into the left and closed position.

Now both brake arms press on the tires, thereby stopping the wheels from turning.

In this case too, screw this on so that the end of the bolt protrudes through the nut, but not so tight that the brake cannot move.

DANGER

Depending on the tire pressure, the operating lever can snap with some force into its closed position. Be careful when doing so as you risk getting trapped!

DANGER

The parking brake is not suitable for deceleration of a moving carrier.
