Who is this Manual intended for?

this manual is intended for the purchaser and user of the carrier, who is also responsible for keeping it in proper condition, carrying out maintenance as prescribed and performing repairs.

Use as intended

the carrier is intended for use within the performance ranges

specied for the carrying of children in daylight hours, on sidewalks, light trafc public roads, and smooth paths.

luggage may also be carried in the storage bags intended for that purpose, provided the children in the carrier are not put at risk.

if the child carrier is used in conditions of poor visibility, at dusk or in the hours of darkness, it is highly recommended to be

tted with a safety approved working light set.

as part of the recommended use, you should also follow this owner’s manual and comply with the prescribed maintenance requirements.

Use not recommended

any use that goes beyond the above is not recommended. use not recommended is primarily the conveying of people

together with animals, use of this carrier on rough off-road terrain, use for commercial purposes, overloading, excessive

speed and improper repair of defects or modications.

the manufacturer is not liable for damages arising from use that is not recommended – this is at the risk of the user.

when using this carrier, please also follow the owner’s manual

of the bicycle used for towing and the specications given there

regarding the maximum allowable full load for the bicycle.

2. Overview of Components

3. Safety

the purpose of this section is to acquaint you with the symbols and safety instructions and make you aware of general dangers that might arise in using the carrier. in addition, here you will get to know about the particular dangers when using the carrier

in road trafc, as well as being warned against unauthorised rebuilds or modications.

this section, which is entitled »safety«, is the most important section in this owner’s manual. For this reason you need to read through it with particular care and take note of all instructions.

3.1 Explanation of symbols and instructions

in this owner’s manual all items relating to safety are provided with a warning. in the designation of the possible hazards, distinctions are drawn based on the severity of the possible harm that may arise.

warning

Here you will nd instructions where failure to comply may

result in injury or even death to the user and/or the carrier‘s passenger(s).

nOTE

instructions introduced with this symbol indicate possible risk of material damage. Failure to heed this warning may result in material damage.

TiP

Here you will nd instructions that will make using the product easier for you.

3.2 General safety instructions

Basics

•

Before using the carrier, please read through the owner’s manual carefully. Failure to comply with the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury or death, to both the user and/or the occupants of the carrier.

•

when using the carrier, always comply with local safety and accident prevention regulations, as well as the local road

Trafc Act, all of which may restrict use in some way.

•

safe and appropriate use of the carrier is your responsibility.

Before using the carrier for the rst time, acquaint yourself

with its handling characteristics away from public roads and without carrying children. an empty carrier will tip over more easily when going over obstacles with one wheel only than one carrying a load. a fully loaded carrier makes greater demands on the deceleration devices. negotiate inclines and corners with the utmost caution and

• reduce speed when doing so.

Do not use the carrier around or near an open re or

•

exposed ame.

With regards to transporting children

when the carrier is used in trailer mode, the rider and the

• children being carried must wear suitable cPsc or ce approved helmets.

never leave your child unsupervized in the carrier.

• regularly check that your children are appropriately clothed

• and that they feel comfortable especially in hot and cold temperatures. only children who are over 1 year old and who can sit up

• without support may be carried. the maximum height of children who may be carried

• is 111 cm (43.7“). in carriers designated as single-seaters only one child

• may be carried; in two-seater carriers the maximum is two children. make sure that the limbs, clothing or toys of the child do not

• come into contact with the carrier wheels or the rear wheel of the towing bicycle.

even when folded, as they will get damaged.

•

at various points on the carrier, self-locking nuts are used. if these have been loosened they must not be reused. once they have been loosened they lose their original function, and this can lead to unexpected loosening of the screw connection with potentially serious consequences.

•

Do not use the carrier at temperatures below -20°c /-4°F and do not store it at these temperatures. the windows may break.

•

when folding up or opening the carrier, there is a risk of

pinching your hand or ngers. Ensure children are clear of

any moving parts, otherwise they may be injured.

With regards to the children in the carrier

•

when converting with other cts conversion Kits, no child should be sitting in the carrier, nor when carrying out maintenance or repair work.

•

the permitted total cargo load of the carrier is limited to 34 kg / 75 lb on the single-seater and 45 kg / 100 lb on the two-seater. this must never be exceeded. the cargo load is the weight of the children together with any luggage there might be. Please explain to your child that he/she must not bounce,

•

dget or lean out of the carrier.

3.3 Safety information for all travelling situations

With regards to the children in the carrier

•

never carry items of luggage on the seat next to your child.

•

never carry animals together with your children.

•

always make sure the seatbelts are correctly fastened around your child and are correctly adjusted to the height of your child. if this is not the case, your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

•

when travelling faster than walking pace, always use at the very least the mesh component of the two-in-one weather cover.

•

as the children get in and out, and whenever you park the carrier, the parking brake must be on to prevent the carrier from accidentally rolling away.

warning

in extreme temperatures, make sure that the child has proper ventilation in the case of extreme hot, or protection in the case of extreme cold. a child left in the trailer during extreme temperatures and without adequate venting or protection could suffer serious injury or death.

With regards to the carrier

•

never carry any heavy or sharp protruding items in the storage space of the carrier if you are also carrying children at the same time (risk of injury on braking).

•

items of luggage should be well secured so that they cannot move around during the journey. unsecured items of luggage and overloading reduce riding stability and make the carrier

more difcult to handle.

the carriers are bicycle carriers and must never be towed

• behind motorised vehicles. the carriers must not be carried on the roof of a vehicle,

•

With regards to the carrier

•

take care when travelling over uneven surfaces. the carrier can overturn if driven with one wheel only across uneven ground, even at very low speed.

•

Before each journey check the tire pressure. the minimum recommended pressure is 30 psi (2.1 bar) and the maximum is 35 psi (2.5 bar). even if a higher pressure is permitted

for the tires tted, the Manufacturer recommends that

35 psi (2.5 bar) not be exceeded. air pressure that is too high considerably reduces the comfort of the children, especially on carriers without suspension.

•

Do not use compressed air lines (e.g. at service stations). the tyres may burst due to the small volume of the tubes.

•

never go up or down steps with the carrier.

•

never use the carrier on escalators.

•

Before each journey check that the wheels are fully engaged.

•

Before each journey check that the folding auto-lock disk is fully engaged.

•

Before each journey check that the spring buttons of the handlebar are fully engaged.

3.4 Safety instructions for carrying infants

•

children who cannot as yet sit up without support may only be carried using the chariot infant sling (accessory).

•

the manufacturer accepts no liability for use of other sitting aids or baby seats.

•

Please make sure you follow the safety instructions in the chariot infant sling owner’s manual

3.5 Safety instructions for maintenance and

repairs

•

The maintenance work specied (see Section 12) is

absolutely essential for the long-term safe operation of the carrier.

•

only use original spare parts. when replacing safety-related parts, such as the frame, wheels, hitcharm and fabric, only have this carried out by an authorized chariot retailer.

•

regularly check all safety-related parts, such as the frame, wheels, hitcharm and fabric, for damage or tearing. at the

rst sign of damage have the relevant part replaced by your

authorized chariot retailer. tears in the fabric actually represent a high safety risk. Due

• to tears in the fabric your child could come into contact with the wheels or the road surface.

If you nd a tear in the fabric, stop using and contact your

• authorized chariot retailer immediately: the fabric can either be repaired or replaced. never try to straighten out bent safety-related parts such

• as the frame, wheels or hitcharm. Have the relevant part replaced by your authorized chariot retailer. there is a risk of it cracking and subsequently breaking. we recommend annual maintenance of the wheels by your

• authorized chariot retailer.

3.6 Warning against unauthorised modications

and additions

•

Unauthorized rebuilds or modications of the carrier are

not permitted for reasons of safety and render the warranty invalid. installation of a car safety seats, other seats, or seat

• supports that do not carry the approval of the manufacturer is not permitted.

Do not t any additional parts, such as a luggage rack, that

• do not carry the express of the manufacturer. the carrying of pedal cars, which are attached to the

• handlebar or some other part of the carrier, is not permitted.

NOTE: All references to orientation (i.e. left or right) is from the passengers point of view while sitting in the carrier.

carrier with two-in-one weather cover, two 20”/51cm wheels with drum brakes; handlebar with brake lever, connected to the passenger compartment by brake cable (Note: Do not bend!); handlebar bag on handlebar; 2 plastic caps on the brake drums (keep in a safe place!)

nOTE

take care not to bend the brake cable which connects the handlebar with the passenger compartment on the cx. this might reduce the braking effect, or the brake may not continue to function.

4.2 Erecting and folding the carrier

Erecting the Ready Chassis

Push down the axle socket with your left hand, and at the same time push up the left frame tube using your right hand. then pull the short lower side tube backwards with your left hand, pressing against it from above with your right hand. repeat this procedure on the right-hand side.

When pulling the short lower side tube backwards, the auto-lock disk must audibly engage in each case.

the assembly of the cx requires particular attention. care needs to be taken here that the brake cable (see section 4.10) is not bent or damaged in some other way. it must run along the frame tubes as illustrated.

nOTE

take care not to bend the brake cable which connects the handlebar with the passenger compartment on the cx. this might reduce the braking effect, or the brake may not continue to function.

warning

Before each journey make sure that both auto-lock disks are engaged. if this does not happen, the passenger compartment may collapse unintentionally in which your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or death.

auto-lock disk

Folding the Ready Chassis

4.3 Wheel assembly

when folding the cts ready chassis, the procedure is the reverse of the above: First pull or release the auto-lock disk on one side and push the short lower side tube slightly forwards. repeat this procedure on the other side. Push the short lower side tube fully forwards.

The wheels of the Chariot models described are tted with

so-called push-button axles. Pressing on the rubber cap in the wheel centre will loosen the retaining balls which lock the axle

in the axle socket. The wheels can only be tted and removed

with the plastic cap pushed in.

TiP

The easiest way to t the wheel is to lay the carrier on its

side.

TiP

On the CX, rst remove the plastic protective caps from the brake drums. Keep the plastic caps safe, so that you can ret

them when you next remove the wheels.

To t the wheel, press in the rubber cap and insert the wheel

axle into the axle socket until it can go no further. release the rubber cap. By moving the wheel from side to side, check that it is locked in the axle socket and cannot be pulled off.

nOTE

Do not attempt to fold up the passenger compartment without disengaging the auto-lock disk.

nOTE

when folding up the cx the handlebar cannot be completely removed because of the brake cable. you can pull it out of the upper frame tube ends and then store it on the folded carrier to save space.

TiP

the passenger compartment can only be completely folded up if the rear storage bag is folded up (see section 4.7),

except on the Cheetah, where the storage bag is xed in

position.

TiP

the passenger compartment can only be folded up if the hitcharm is removed from the out-of-use storage position in the click ‘n’ store bracket (located at the top of the short lower side tube at the rear); see sections 6 and 7.

warning

Before each journey make sure that the wheels are securely locked in the axle socket. Failure to do so could result in the lose of the wheels causing an accident in which you and/or your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or death.

TiP

if the wheels on the cx cannot be inserted, this may be due to the adjustment or the cables on the brake system. in this case, please see section 4.10.

4.4 Installing the handlebar

Cougar and Cheetah

Push the handlebar into the upper frame open tube ends. Depress both spring buttons simultaneously and push both ends of the handlebar at the same time into the tube ends until the spring buttons engage.

the handlebar‘s height can be adjusted for two different positions: remove by depressing the spring buttons together, pull out the handlebar, rotate it 180° and re-insert the handlebar into the tube ends.

the handlebar of the cx is installed in the same manner as described in the section above. only one position is possible

however, as the ergonomic ve-position CX handlebar allows it to

be gripped in various height positions, depending on use.

nOTE

always make sure that you do not bend the brake cable of the cx. this might reduce the braking effect, or the brake may not continue to function.

warning

Before each journey make sure that the spring buttons of the handlebar are fully engaged. Failure to properly install the handlebars could cause the carrier to become separated from you resulting in an accident in which your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or death.

Handlebar bag (CX)

the chariot cx is equipped as standard with a handlebar bag, which can also be used as a child backpack. For the other models the handlebar bag can be purchased as an accessory.

the handlebar bag is attached to a specially designed buckle at the upper rear end of the passenger compartment, as well as to the handlebar itself by means of two straps with buckles.

warning

nOTE

always make sure the safety wrist strap is safely stored in the mesh pocket when it is not in use. if this is not done it could get caught in the wheel spokes, and this may result in an accident.

4.5 Seat and Seatbelts

Cougar and Cheetah

For the handlebar bag, the maximum cargo load is 1 kg /

2.2 lb. when loading the handlebar bag, care must also be taken to ensure that there is not too much weight loaded into the rear storage bags, otherwise the carrier could tip backwards resulting in an accident in which your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury. in this regard, please make sure you follow the specications and descriptions given in Sections 7 and 8.

Safety wrist strap

on the rear left upper side frame tube, there is the safety wrist strap, which is required to secure the carrier to your wrist when using it as a Jogging stroller or stroller. in all other travelling situations this safety wrist strap should be stored safely in the rear mesh pocket (see section 4.7).

warning

Failure to use the wrist strap could cause the carrier to become separated from you resulting in an accident in which your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or death.

To fasten the child into the carrier, proceed as follows:

the shoulder harness should always stay fastened to the

crotch belt by their shared lower buckle.

undo both of the top buckles of the padded shoulder

harness on the back rest. take off the shoulder harness towards the front.

open the waist belt.

Place the child on the seat.

make sure that the crotch belt is between the child’s legs.

the shoulder harness’s upper two buckles are attached to

vertical straps. now move both upper buckles until they are directly above the shoulders of the child.

Draw the shoulder harness upwards over the child’s

shoulders and click both of the upper buckles into their respective buckles on the vertical straps. make sure that you do not pinch the child’s neck with the buckles.

once again make sure that the crotch belt is between the

child’s legs.

all belts can be adjusted. the shoulder harness can be

adjusted to t correctly by pulling tight or loosening the loose

ends of the upper securing straps to equal degrees. the loose end of the crotch belt can be pulled tight or loosened like this as well.

4.6 Climate control

The two-in-one weather cover

all models are equipped with the chariot two-in-one weather cover, which consists of a plastic window that can be rolled up with mesh beneath it.

2009 and later model cougars and cx’s are equipped with a new two-in-one weather cover attachment method. the two-inone cover is attached to the external 3/8in / 9.5mm aluminum frame via hooks on the underside of the two-in-one cover. using the thumb-pulls located on the lower outer corners, pull downwards and outwards, extending the two-in-one cover in such a manner as to allow the hooks to catch onto the external frame. to remove, pull down and then out on the thumb-pulls to release the two-in-one cover.

the two-in-one weather cover is secured at the bottom by a double velcro fastener. First the velcro tag of the two-in-one weather cover is pressed onto the velcro surface on the carrier. then the velcro on the carrier is pressed from the outside against the velcro tab of the two-in-one weather cover.

nOTE

always make sure that the velcro fastener is properly fastened.

Opening the two-in-one weather cover:

First undo the outer tabs of the assembly at both velcro fasteners. then lift the two-in-one weather cover upwards, pulling equally on both of its tabs.

TiP

on the cougar and cx, make sure the upper corners rubber seal of the two-in-one weather cover is properly seated. if this is not the case, the seal will not effectively prevent water penetration.

Sunscreen

Front side air vent on the Cougar

a sunscreen is located under the upper rear of the two-in-one weather cover.

if it is not being used, it can be rolled up and secured with the loops located at the top corners. the two-in-one weather cover is then placed over it and fastened.

Sunscreen on the CX (all covers can be rolled up and secured with the loops except the CX has an extended

length ap)

On the CX the front extended length tinted ap can be rolled up

and secured with two loops.

At low temperatures the sunscreen can be unrolled, ipped

back, and inserted in the mesh pocket behind the seat (see section 4.7). this reduces penetration of cold air through the mesh parts of the seat backrest.

For additional ventilation of the interior, the cougar is equipped with a side air vent to the front of each side window. it can be opened either fully or partly from the inside by means of a fabric

ap.

Side window on the CX

For additional ventilation of the interior, the cx is equipped with removable side windows. these are each attached by 2 zippers and may be removed and stored in the rear storage bag.

there is a tab on the assembly to make it easier to reattach the lower zipper. the end of the zipper can be pulled outwards using this tab.

warning

On the CX, the front tinted ap must be rolled up or folded

inwards to insert the sunscreen in the mesh pocket behind the seat. if this is not done, the sunscreen will be too long and it may get damaged.

TiP

For additional climate control, the cx’s side windows can be partially opened, similar to the vents on the cougars. to do this both zippers can be partially undone from the front, and then the forward portion of the side window can be folded back and tucked under the rear portion. make sure that the front portion cannot slip out as you are travelling.
