USER GUIDE AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! Read the user manual carefully before use.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new Explorer Cargo and thank you for choosing Nordic Cab!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! - Follow these instructions to avoid injury.
SYKLING:
Always use a well maintained bicycle with good brakes and correct air pressure in the tires. Check that air pressure in
the tires for the bicycle and the cart match the recommended pressure every time you use the cart. Always follow the
safety instructions when you are using this product.
The bicycle trailer can become overturned if used carelessly. Do not ride over holes or objects with high speed. Do not
turn or ride downhill with high speed. Always turn carefully (5 km/h or less). The maximum speed for the bicycle trailer
is 24km/h.
Maximum load:
For safety reasons, we state the total maximum weight of the carriage when cycling at 60 kg.
Check that the weight on the end of the bicycle drawbar (where the bicycle attachment is mounted) is more than 2 kg,
but does not exceed 9 kg with a fully loaded carriage.
Start and stop:
It is VERY different to ride with a bicycle trailer than without one. The higher weight means that acceleration and
braking are significantly slower than when cycling without a trailer. A combination of a bicycle and a trailer is also
significantly longer, and it is important to allow more time for crossing roads. Take also trailer’s width in account when
taking large turns.
Rules for safe cycling:
WARNING!
• Do not make any modifications or alterations to the cart.
• Ensure before every ride that the bicycle trailer does not affect braking, movement of the pedals or steering of the bicycle.
• Use the cart only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, as this provides better safety.
• Maximum allowed total weight of the cart is 60 kg.
• If cleaning is needed, wash with mild soap and cold water. Do not use strong detergents.
• Ensure before every ride that the bicycle attachment is securely attached.
• Practise cycling with the trailer to gain better understanding of and more experience with the usage of bicycle trailer.
