The bracket of the adjustable storage bag support bar has two
settings, an upper and a lower one. Make sure that the storage
bag engages properly in both positions. Before you change the
position of the storage bag, you must release the quick-release
skewers on each of the side brackets. Once you have changed
the position, you must once again tighten the quick-release
skewers.
DANGER
Make sure that you always close the quick-release skewers of
the storage bag. Particularly in the case of models with sus-
pension, this can come into contact with the tires during travel
and cause damage. This may result in serious accidents.
TIP
When folding up the storage bag, make sure that the lower
two straps under the bag are not tensioned too tightly.
DANGER
Items of luggage should be well secured so that they cannot
move around during the journey. Unsecured items of luggage
and overloading reduce riding stability and make the carrier
more diffi cult to handle.
DANGER
Never carry any heavy or protruding items in the storage
bags of the carrier if you are also carrying children at the
same time (risk of injury on braking). This applies particu-
larly to the upper mesh bag!
DANGER
Depending on the type of use, the storage bags may only
be loaded to a certain weight. The load of the storage bag
is limited by the manufacturer to 4 kg/8.8lb and that of the
handlebar bag to 1 kg/2.2lb. Please also refer to the instruc-
tions relating to load in Sections 5 to 10.
4.8 Adjusting the suspension
(Cougar and CX)
The Cougar and CX are equipped with adjustable suspension.
After loosening the knob, it is possible to move the clamp that
surrounds both leaf springs. The more this clamp is moved
in the direction of the wheel axle, the stiffer the suspension
becomes (see the weight scale on the top spring).
The weight indications on the scale are calculated from the
weight of the child(ren) and cargo (ie. You do not need to add
the weight of the carrier).
The weight indications on the scale relate fi rst and foremost to
use as a Bicycle Trailer. For other uses it may be a good idea
to set the suspension softer. If you discover that when riding
over bumps the suspension can be felt and likely heard , then
the suspension is set too soft and you need to move the knob
rearwards.
WARNING
Make sure that you retighten the knobs once you have adjus-
ted the clamp.
TIP
Where there are different weights on each of the two sides of
the carrier, or where only one side is loaded, we recommend
that the spring stiffness on each side be adjusted to the
weight of the side in question.
