Converting the Croozer Dog to a Bicycle Trailer
Installing the axle hitch to a bicycle with a quick-
release axle
The quick-release lever (1) must be positioned on the right
side of the bicycle (relative to the direction of travel). If the
lever is on the left side, the quick-release skewer must be
removed and reinserted from the right side. Be sure to fol-
low the applicable instructions in the owner’s manual of the
bicycle and/or consult a professional bicycle mechanic.
1. Open the quick-release lever (1) on the rear wheel
of the towing bicycle or loosen the Allen bolt (5 mm),
depending on the type of quick-release skewer. Often,
the open position is indicated on the lever by the word
“OPEN”. In this case, when the word “OPEN” can be
seen, the lever is in the open position.
2. Remove the tension-adjusting nut (2) of the quick-
release assembly by turning the nut anticlockwise.
Use caution: the spring located just beneath the nut is
under tension and could y off when removing the nut.
3. Fit the axle hitch (3) over the end of the quick-release
skewer by sliding the skewer (with the spring) through
the hole in the hitch.
4. Thread the tension-adjusting nut (2) back onto the
skewer, turning it clockwise at least ve full turns.
The tension-adjusting nut must engage the threads of the
skewer for at least five full turns in order to ensure adequate
clamping force for holding the rear wheel securely. Failure
to tighten the tension-adjusting nut adequately may result
in accidents with serious injury or death. If the quick-release
skewer is too short, it must be replaced. Consult a profession-
al bicycle mechanic for the appropriate parts and assistance.
5. Check that the rear wheel is properly aligned, adjusting
the position if necessary; then close the quick-release
lever (1) or tighten the hex bolt, depending on the ver-
sion. Often, the closed position is indicated on the lever
by the word “CLOSE”. In this case, when the lever side
marked “CLOSE” can be seen, the lever is in the closed
position. If the axle nut has been tightened the proper
amount, you will be able to feel the resistance increase
when the lever is about halfway closed, i.e. parallel to
the axle. The adjustment is correct if you can fully close
the lever but with considerable force. In the closed
position, the lever should be parallel to the frame, i.e. it
should not stick out to the side.
6. Check whether the quick-release skewer is securely
engaged by trying to rotate the quick-release skewer
without opening the lever.
If the quick-release skewer is loose enough to rotate,
then the clamping force is inadequate. In this case,
open the lever, and tighten the tension-adjusting nut
half a turn clockwise. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
If it is impossible to push the quick-release lever into
the closed position, then open the lever, and unscrew
the tension-adjusting nut half a turn anticlockwise.
Repeat steps 5 and 6. Keep in mind that the tension-
adjusting nut must engage the threads of the quick-
release skewer for at least ve full turns.
The tension-adjusting nut must engage the threads for at
least five full turns in order to ensure adequate clamp-
ing force for holding the rear wheel securely. Failure to
