Nordic Cab AS Instruction Manual for the Nordic Cab Page 4 of 15
Weather - Environmental conditions such as heat, cold, pollution and road damage may be a hazard when bike riding. Be
aware of such conditions and prepare accordingly. Check ventilation regularly, dress appropriately for weather, carry water and
avoid damaged roads.
Maximum Load - Maximum total trailer load (children and cargo combined) is 110 lbs or 50 Kg. When placing children or cargo
in the trailer, keep load centered or forward of the axle. Pack the load as low as possible and secure items so they cannot shift
around. Nordic Cab is recommended for children from age 1 to 4 ½.
Wheel Placement - Test wheel placement with children in seat, and bike fork on, to ensure that cab level is correct. Weight
distribution may vary with size of children, chosen seat position and type of bicycle.
Maintenance - Perform regular maintenance check of your bike trailer. Pay special attention to the bike hitch, the Snap-Lock
bolt, the safety wire, and the canopy side panels. Immediately replace any part that could pose a hazard to your child’s safety.
Starting and Stopping - Riding with a bicycle trailer is VERY different from regular cycling. The added weight makes it slower
to start up and stop. Your vehicle is also much longer and wider, so you must allow more time to cross streets. Make wide turns
to allow for the trailer’s width. Practice riding with your bike trailer, without children first, to get used to the feel.
Do not TIP - Bicycle trailers can tip over if you are negligent. Do not pull your trailer over holes or obstacles. Instruct children
not to bounce, rock, or lean, which can cause a shift of weight. Do not make high-speed turns or descents when pulling the
trailer. Always corner with caution at 5 mph or 8 km/h or less.
Maximum speed is 15 mph or 24 km/h.
STROLLER SAFETY
