DANGER
Please ensure that the locking pushbutton is fully pushed in. If this is not done, the brake lever could be released and the parked carrier could roll away.
To release the brake lever, squeeze the brake hard in the direction of the handlebar grip: a spring mechanism will make the locking pushbutton pop out and the brake lever will spring back into its released position.

When parking the carrier, make sure it cannot tip over. Al- ways check that the carrier cannot run away. If the carrier is given a push, it must immediately come to a stop once it has been released. When parking on an incline, always be ready to hold the carrier in position if need be. Wear a wrist strap if possible.

Inevitable wear on the brake pads eventually leads to the brake lever having to be pulled closer and closer to the hand grip so as to obtain the braking force required. At the same time the braking force that can be obtained via the parking brake is reduced.
Once there has been a noticable increase in the amount of play when operating the brake lever, the brake system has to be
Unequal wear of the brake pads, or other factors, can also lead to the brakes not operating with equal force making the carrier pull to one side on braking. Here too it would be a good idea to

TIP
We recommend that you always take the Owner’s Manual with you on your fi rst journeys in case brake adjustments need to be made.
