Mounting the coupler onto a bicycle
Danger!
Make sure that your bicycle is suitable for towing a bicycle trailer, see
“Performance
limits” on page 4
. Since it may in some cases be necessary to change the rear
wheel axle, it is best to consult your specialist dealer or the bicycle manufacturer in
order to do this.
Caution!
Secure the bicycle to prevent it from toppling over, and make sure that the rear wheel
cannot drop out of the axle mount after the screw connection has been undone. Use
for example an assembly stand, or turn the bicycle upside down so that you can place
it on its saddle and handlebars.
In the as-delivered state, the supplied coupler is in the coupler pocket of the tow bar:
f
Undo the cotter pin fastening and remove the coupler.
f
Next, insert the cotter pin fastening back into the
coupler pocket of the tow bar.
f
Prepare the bicycle for mounting the coupler by
undoing the screw connection of the rear wheel axle:
–
Quick-release axle: Open the bracket of the quick-release axle and unscrew the cap nut
on the other side of the rear wheel axle.
–
Full axle: Unscrew the nut on the left side of the rear wheel axle.
f
Mount the coupler on the rear wheel axle:
–
Place the large hole of the coupler onto the left
side of the rear wheel axle so that the coupler is
facing outwards.
–
Screw on the dedicated nut and tighten it slightly.
