• If you are not sure whether your bicycle is suitable for towing a trailer, please ask your bicycle retailer. • We recommend that especially long rear wheel mudguards and rear-view mirrors be fitted to the bicycle that is to tow. • When using this trailer, please also follow the Owner’s Manual of the bicycle used for towing. Find out whether your bicycle is permitted for use in towing bicycle trailers and the permitted overall weight of the bicycle/trailer vehicle. • When parking the vehicle, make sure it cannot tip over. Attaching the trailer changes the bicycle’s centre of gravity, so that certain types of kickstands cannot be used in connection with a trailer. The bicycle may tip over. The trailer and bicycle may get damaged. If in doubt ask your specialist dealer. As regards the children carried • For riders of bicycles and children being carried who can sit without support, we recommend wearing a suitable approved helmet. As regards the trailer • When the trailer is towed behind a bicycle, the stroller wheels must never be fixed in their use position (wheels down). They may only be carried in their out-of-use position (wheels up). • Remember that on right-hand turns the radius of the turn is restricted. If the rear wheel of the bicycle comes into contact with the hitcharm, there is a risk of the cyclist falling and injury. • Please ensure that when manoeuvring, the trailer is not set at an angle of more than 90° to the bicycle, otherwise the hitch may be damaged. As regards the children in the trailer • Please remember that the trailer should only be connected or unconnected provided there is no child in the trailer. • Never cycle without closing the two-in-one weather cover otherwise your child may be injured by insects, dirt or grit thrown up from the road. Please ensure the following before each journey: • Make sure that the hitcharm is correctly fitted and secured to the trailer: see pages 27 and 28. • Make sure the hitch is firmly attached on the bicycle. A hitch that is not securely attached may work loose from the rear axle and result in losing the trailer. • Make sure that the hitcharm is correctly coupled up and secured to the bicycle: see pages 29 - 31. • Before each journey, check the full function of the warning devices: spoke reflectors, front and rear reflectors, safety flag, and lights if necessary. • Remember that at dusk and in the dark, the bicycle and trailer must be equipped with regulation working lighting. • Before each journey make sure that the maximum trailer cargo load is not being exceeded and the specified permissible hitcharm load (nose weight) is maintained. Pay attention to the following when travelling: • Always cycle with care and look well ahead. Avoid applying emergency braking. When applying emergency braking, there is the risk that the rear wheel of the bicycle may pull to one side and you lose control of the bicycle/trailer vehicle. • The maximum permissible speed for towing this trailer is 25 km/h / 15 mph. Take corners/turns at walking pace, as there is a risk of tipping over. • Remember that the steering and braking characteristics of your bicycle are different when towing a trailer. • Always avoid going over obstacles with one wheel of the trailer only, especially on corners – the trailer might tip over, even at walking pace! Performance characteristics when used as a Bicycle Trailer Top speed 25 km/h / 15 mph Top speed on corners walking pace Permitted hitcharm load (tongue or nose weight, to be ensured by good load distribution, see page 32) 1 -6 kg/2.2-13.2lb Permissible rear wheel size on the towing bicycle 26 or 28 inches/700cc Legal requirements Remember that at dusk and in the dark, the bicycle and carrier must be equipped with regulation working lighting. Rear battery- powered lights for instance are suitable as working lighting. These can, for instance, be installed on the top of the rear side frame tubes or clipped onto the fabric sleeve in the same location. Ask your specialist retailer for suitable lights and the correct method to attach the lights. Assembly Assembling the reflectors and safety fl ag If you want to use your Chariot as a Bicycle Trailer, all reflectors and safety flags must be installed. Exception: If you use tires with reflective strips, the spoke reflectors can be left off. Position a spoke reflector between two outer spokes and an inner spoke in such a way that the inner spoke lies in the guide slot of the reflector. Guide the plastic clip with its slot over the inner spoke into the hole of the reflector and secure by tightening it a quarter turn using a screwdriver. Spoked wheels on the Cougar and the CX. Attach two reflectors on each wheel (as shown, opposite each other to the right and left of the valve). For the plastic wheels used on theCheetah. Screw two reflectors onto each wheel on the brackets provided. For fastening the front and rear reflectors you need a Philips screwdriver. Screw the red reflectors into the rear grom...
