Using your Croozer Cargo
Hitching the Croozer Cargo to the Towing
Bicycle
It is vitally important that you check whether the towing
bicycle has been approved by its manufacturer for pulling
a trailer. Towing a trailer with an unsuitable bicycle can
result in frame breakage and accidents with serious injury
or death.
Never hitch the Cargo Trailer when loaded. Hitch the
empty Trailer and then load the cargo.
1. Open the security pin (3) on the hitch arm or on the
Handcart wheel socket (7) and remove it.
2. Lift the hitch arm of the Croozer Cargo, and push the
hitch connector (1) as far as it will go onto the hitch (2)
that has been installed on the towing bicycle.
3. Insert the security pin (3) attached to the end of the
hitch arm through the hitch connector.
4. Snap the wire loop (4) of the security pin over the pin
end protruding from the other side of the hitch
connector to lock it in place. Then pull gently on the
security pin to ensure that the wire loop is locked
securely onto the end of the pin.
5. Check whether the hitch connector is securely
fastened to the towing bicycle.
Always check that the wire loop of the security pin is
snapped securely onto the pin end. If the security pin is
not securely locked, the hitch arm could fall off the towing
bicycle while riding, resulting in accidents with serious
injury or death.
6. Wrap the hitch-arm safety strap (5) around the chain-
stay, and clip it to the D-ring (6) on the hitch arm. Make
sure there is no danger of the hitch-arm safety strap
(5) getting caught in the spokes or disc brakes of the
towing bicycle.
Never pull the Croozer Cargo as a Trailer without the
hitch-arm safety strap securely fastened to the towing
bicycle. The safety strap ensures that the Trailer would
remain connected to the towing bicycle if the hitch con-
nector were to fall off the axle hitch. Failure to use the
safety strap as specified above could cause accidents
with serious injury or death.
Never leave the Handcart wheel attached when using
the Croozer Cargo as a Trailer. The Handcart wheel
could get caught on obstacles as you pass, resulting in
accidents with serious injury or death.
Proper removal of the Trailer from the Bicycle
To remove the Trailer from the bicycle, follow steps above
in the reverse order.
