When the rack is loaded, changes in the behaviour of the bicycle must be taken into account (wind stability,
braking distances, changes in direction, etc.). For their safety, the user must be aware of these changes in
operation.
When installing a child seat or panniers, the user must perform a safety check (e.g., hanging straps that are in
danger of catching in the spokes and raise the risk of a fall; check the secureness of the fastenings on the child
seat, the potential trapping of the child's fingers under the saddle, etc.)
The reflector and the rear light must not be covered by the equipment or seat that has been fitted to the rack.
The load on the rack must be evenly distributed on both sides to ensure the stability of the equipment while
riding on public roads.
