Assembly
■The child’s seat must be positioned such that it is not in contact with the luggage carrier. The distance between
luggage carrier and tube shackle must be min. 25 mm.
■Fix the tube shackle parallel to the ground. This results in a seat which is slightly inclined towards the rear such
that the child may not slide out of the seat. The seat back is slighty inclined to the rear.
■The load centre (marked by a red point) may only be within 10 cm behind the wheel hub (explained in detail
below).
■In case of saddles with uncovered springs the latter have to be covered as a protection against bruises (e. g.
art. nr. 8947-690).
■Further to that the rear wheel is provided with an additional cover on the spokes or a protective device to pre-
vent dresses from getting mingled with the spokes.
Handling and security of riding
■Please observe that the riding behaviour of the bicycle changes when the child’s seat is used (irrespective of
child being present or not). Owing to the increased centre of gravity the bicycle's behaviour may unfavourable
change and the bicycle's dirigibility may be impaired. For this reason, ride carefully – in particular with regard
to braking and evading manoeuvres. Also avoid riding with one hand.
■Ask the child to sit quietly. Sudden weight transfers by the child may considerably affect your safety during a
ride.
■Pay attention that the child does not handle any objects (e.g. toys) which might get mingled with the whels. Clo-
thes or extremities of the child should never get into turning parts or into the brake and transmission system.
■Protect your child from sharp edges at your bicycle, from worn cables and other parts that might lead to inju-
ries.
■Before beginning a ride and during a tour check whether or not the child’s seat is positioned firmly on the bicy-
cle; also check screwings and other connections for proper seat.
■Only transport the child with the safety belt being fastened and the foot straps being closed. Have a check during
the breaks that those safety devices are still unopened.
■Even if no child is carried, close the seat belt to avoid that it gets into turning parts or that it clings to parts that
are passed during riding.
■Pay attention to a suitable and sufficiently warm clothing of your child.Children who are sitting still normale cool
down faster than the rider.
■Do not park your bicycle before the child has left its seat.
■We recommend that adult and child wear suitable helmets.
■Adjust the headrest such that its upper edge matches the child's ear level.
■In cases of doubt and any other question do not hesitate to contact your specialized dealer.
■Never leave your child alone and unattended in its child’s seat due it the danger of the bicycle falling over.
■ If seat or cloth are damp it is possible that the colour of the seat could mark pale coloured cloths due to friction.
Service and maintenance
■Always use environmentally friendly substances (never aggressive or etching ones) for the cleaning and service
of the child’s seat for bicycles.
■You can also clean safety belts, if required. In this case it is especially important not to use aggressive substances!
Usually a weak rinsing lye or suds.
Accessories
■If you want to attach the seat to another bicycle, you can order a second carrier for the child’s seat. (item no.
8947-633).
■To secure the child’s seat from theft, a cylinder lock can be inserted into the seat support bracket (see page 18).
The lock (type K.01.32.G1) is not supplied with the seat. The lock is obtainable from: Firma P.C. Fischer, Kai-
serstraße 126, D-58300 Wetter/Ruhr, tel. (0) 23 35/42 64, fax (0) 23 35/58 46
