Attaching the Axle-Mount ezHitch
The Axle-Mount ezHitch must always be attached to the
left-hand side of the bicycle (as seen in the direction of
travel).
Bicycle with quick-release axle
Remove the existing quick-release. Loosen the nut of the
Chariot quick-release.
Push the quick-release axle through the hitch and then through
the axle of the wheel.
The opening for the hitch ball and the vertical hole for the
security pin must point forward.
Fit the quick-release nut on the right-hand side. Both skewer
springs must be located in such a way that the narrow side of
each spring points towards the centre of the hub.
In order to ensure that the hub is clamped suffi ciently in the
dropouts, the quick-release lever must begin gripping as it
moves from the open to the middle position, and approaching
the closed position you should clearly feel resistance as you
tighten.
If it is too easy or too diffi cult to move the quick-release, tighten
or loosen the lock nut on the other side of the hub to adjust.
If you don’t feel confi dent operating the quick-release,
please ask your specialist retailer for assistance.
DANGER
Always make sure that the quick-release is correctly atta-
ched. An incorrectly tensioned quick-release may result in
the rear wheel coming loose and lead to accidents.
DANGER
The quick-release nut must be tightened on the axle thread
by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping force is
ensured. A thread which is too short can lead to accidental
loosening of the rear wheel, with damage and accidents as a
result.
If in doubt ask your specialist retailer!
Close the quick-release lever with the end of the lever pointing
upwards. In this position there is enough space to insert the
security pin.
Bicycle with solid axle
Unscrew the rear wheels left-hand axle nut and the spacer or
plane washer.
Install the Axle-Mount ezHitch on the axle.
The opening for the hitch ball and the vertical hole for the
security pin must point forward.
Screw the wheels axle nut and the spacer or plain washer back
on and tighten them securely.
DANGER
The rear wheels axle nut must be tightened on the axle
thread by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping
force is ensured. A thread which is too short can lead to
accidental loosening of the rear wheel, with damage and
accidents as a result.
If in doubt ask your specialist retailer!
DANGER
Depending on the hub type, the existing torque support
washer for the hub must stay on the frame. Please follow
the assembly instructions for the hub and the manufacturer’s
torque specifi cations when fastening the axle nut. If in doubt
always ask your specialist retailer.
