2.3.2. Fitting the Drawbar to the Coupling Unit
Please note: A coupling, which is incorrectly fitted, could become loose and could either slip sideways into the
spokes or forwards in the direction of the bottom bracket during braking. In both cases there is considerable
danger that the cyclist will fall or become injured. Please therefore always ensure before every journey that the
coupling is correctly and securely positioned.
2.4. Safety Instructions for the Bicycle Trailer
• Before use read the User Guide carefully
• Before setting off always correctly fasten the coupling and safety tie
• Ensure correct assembly of all components, in particular wheels and
drawbar
• Only carry children who can sit without support
• Always strap children into the trailer
• Always protect children with suitable helmets
• Cycle more slowly and carefully with the trailer than you would if you
were riding just a bicycle.
• Only take bends at walking pace, otherwise the trailer could tip
• Maximum speed 25 km/h
• Maximum load 40kg (2 seater), 25 kg (single-seater)
• Tyre pressure 2.5 bar
Please note: Please always try to
avoid going over obstacles with one
wheel only, since this can lead to
the transporter turning over
completely irrespective of speed.
Push the square drawbar connection
over the coupling unit attached to the
bicycle.
Insert the spring clip bolt through the
boreholes of both coupling parts and
close the clip so that the clip opening
surrounds the bolt end.
Secure the drawbar by putting the safety
tie around the rear section of the bicycle
frame and fastening it to the drawbar
ring with the snap hook.
