Safety instructions for use as a Jogging Stroller
Please make sure you read the safety instructions in the
“Safety” section at the beginning of this Owner’s Manual.
Before each journey check that all components are properly
fi tted, particularly the front quick-release wheel, the rear
wheels, and the handlebar.
Do not park the carrier on roads or other places which are on
an incline.
If you leave the jogging stroller standing, always secure it
with the parking brake.
When parking the carrier, make sure it cannot tip over.
When pushing the jogging stroller, always put the wrist safety
strap around your wrist.
Inline skating is only permitted with models CX 1 and CX 2.
The maximum speed on the level is 15 km/h, in other words
moderate inline skating speed. Take turns and inclines at
walking pace!
Please remember that controlling a jogger when inline
skating, especially if it is fully loaded, requires particular
experience and sure mastery of inline skating technique.
During the journey do not put your weight on the handlebar.
There is a risk of falling!
To get used to the specifi c handling characteristics, fi rst carry
out a practice run without children, but with maximum load,
and away from road traffi c.
The parking brake on the Cheetah 1, Cheetah 2, Cougar 1
and Cougar 2 models is not suitable for deceleration of a
moving carrier.
So as to prevent it from tipping backwards, the storage
bags at the rear of the carrier may not be loaded with
excessive weight. Carry out the following check: Depress
the handlebar by about 15 cm. The carrier should return to
its original standing position and should not tip backwards.
Manufacturer’s recommendation: Maximum load in the
storage bags together if no handlebar bag is being used. The
maximum load of the handlebar bag is 1 kg. The maximum
load of the other storage bags is reduced to 2 kg if the
handlebar bag is loaded with 1 kg.
Safety instructions for using the brake system on the
CX 1 and CX 2 models:
Before using the brake system for the fi rst time, acquaint
yourself with its braking effect away from road traffi c.
On your fi rst journeys always take the Owner’s Manual
with you in case adjustments need to be made to the brake
system.
Check the braking effect before each journey.
Before each journey check that both brakes operate with the
same force.
Before each journey check that the lock nuts are tight on the
adjusting screws.
Before each journey check that there are no kinks in or other
damage to the brake cables.
The braking system is only suitable for decelerating the
carrier weight, not the additional weight of the inline skater.
You will also need to apply the deceleration procedures that
are possible in inline skating.
Always ensure that when the parking brake is applied the
spring button is fully pressed in. If this is not done, the brake
lever could be released and the parked carrier could roll
away.
Only park the carrier on fl at surfaces.
Check that the parking brake is working properly. Always
check that the carrier cannot roll away. If the carrier is given
a push, it should immediately come to a halt once it has been
released.
If the carrier is not held securely by the parking brake, the
brake must be readjusted.
Remember that the brake drums heat up when used, so
there is a risk of burning yourself if you touch them.
Before each journey make sure that the brake system
adjusting screws are secured and not unscrewed too far.
If you need to replace brake system components due to wear
or for other reasons, only have replacement carried out by an
Authorized Chariot Retailer.
Keep the insides of the drum brake dry and free of dirt.
