The maximum permissible load for
the bicycle carrier is 30 kg.
The handling of the caravan changes consi-
derably when the bicycle carrier has been loa-
ded. You should adjust your speed to take this
into consideration:
• Ensure that you make full use of the permitted
towbar load when the bicycle carrier has been
loaded and correct it accordingly.
• Your critical speed will be dramatically redu-
ced even if you have loaded the bicycle carrier
optimally.
• The driver of the vehicle is responsible for
ensuring that bicycles are fastened securely.
The loading system must be folded up and
secured with the available clips even when it
is not loaded.
• Ensure that existing lighting equipment is not
covered partially or completely by the load.
When shunting or driving around
curves, you should leave a wide angle,
because otherwise, depending on the
model, the bicycle (carrier) may collide
with the base vehicle.
Before driving for the rst time, take
some time to practise so as to familiari-
se yourself with driving conditions.
After loading the bicycles, please check
the drawbar load and, if necessary,
regulate it (see also Chapter 2.3).
