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.
2.3.2. Fitting the Drawbar to the Coupling Unit
Please note:
Always attach the safety strap to the
chain stay!
Put the safety tie around the rear sec-
tion of the bicycle frame and fasten it to
the drawbar D-ring with the snap hook.
Please note:
A coupling, which is incorrectly fitted, could become loose and could slip sideways into the spokes during braking. 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.
•Before use read the User Guide carefully.
•The bicycle rider must be older than 16 years.
•Before setting off, check that the trailer cannot come into contact with parts of the bicycle, such as pedals and brakes etc.
•Before setting off, ensure correct assembly of all components, in particular wheels and drawbar.
•Remember that the running characteristics of your bicycle will be changed when towing a trailer, and that greater demands
will be made of the brakes and load bearing capabilities of the frame. If in doubt ask your specialist dealer.
•We recommend that you fit mudguards and rear view mirrors to your bicycle
•Only children that can sit without support may be carried, unless a properly fitted child seat (e.g. the Weber child seat)
is used.
•Always avoid going over obstacles (kerbs etc.) with one wheel
of the trailer only, especially in bends – the trailer might tip over,
even at a very low speed!
•In the event of the vehicle tipping over, the handlebar acts as a
safety bar. So keep it permanently installed, even when using
the transporter behind a bicycle!
•Attach or detach the trailer to/from the bicycle only when unladen.
•Before starting, always check that the drawbar is properly secured by the safety strap, which is screwed on the
drawbar receiving unit.
•The maximum permissible speed for towing a bicycle trailer is 25 km/h. Take bends at much lower speeds!
•Cycle carefully and avoid full braking. When towing a trailer and decelerating using the front brake, the bicycle, especially
its fork, are put under high loads.
•It is recommended that rider and trailer occupants wear approved cycle helmets.
•Never transport your children without the safety belts being properly and fully adjusted, otherwise your child could be
seriously or even fatally injured in the event of an accident!
•Only cyclists who are experienced and strong enough may tow child-carrying trailers.
•Bicycle trailers must not be towed by motorized two-wheelers.
•Check tyre pressure before each ride. The recommended pressure is 35 psi (2.5 bar).
