Chariot Carriers CX 1, CX 2 manual Wheel assembly, Folding up the Ready Chassis

Folding up the Ready Chassis

When folding the CTS Ready Chassis up, the procedure is the reverse of the above: First pull or release the auto-lock disk on one side and push the short lower side tube slightly forwards. Repeat this procedure on the other side. Push the short lower side tube fully forwards.

4.3 Wheel assembly

The wheels of the Chariot models described are fi tted with so-called push-button axles. Pressing on the rubber cap in the wheel centre will loosen the retaining balls which lock the axle in the axle socket. The wheels can only be fi tted and removed with the plastic cap pushed in.

TIP

The easiest way to fi t the wheel is to lay the carrier on its side.

TIP

On the CX, fi rst remove the plastic protective caps from the brake drums. Keep the plastic caps safe, so that you can refi t them when you next remove the wheels.

To fi t the wheel, press in the rubber cap and insert the wheel axle into the axle socket until it can go no further. Release the rubber cap. By moving the wheel from side to side, check that it is locked in the axle socket and cannot be pulled off.

WARNING

Do not attempt to fold up the passenger compartment without disengaging the auto-lock disk.

WARNING

When folding up the CX the handlebar cannot be completely removed because of the brake cable. You can pull it out of the upper frame tube ends and then store it on the folded carrier to save space.

TIP

The passenger compartment can only be completely folded up if the rear storage bag is folded up (see Section 4.7), except on the Cheetah, where the storage bag is fi xed in position.

DANGER

Always check that both wheels are properly seated by pulling the wheel hard to one side without pressing the unlocking button. To do this, lift the carrier, and make sure that the fi tted wheel cannot be pulled off, by giving it a few good shakes on each side.

TIP

The passenger compartment can only be folded up if the hit- charm is removed from the out-of-use storage position in the Click ‘n’ Store bracket (located at the top of the short lower side tube at the rear); see Sections 5 and 6.

TIP

If the wheels on the CX cannot be inserted, this may be due to the adjustment or the cables on the brake system. In this case, please see Section 4.10.
