2.3.1.1. Bicycle with Full Axle
Remove the left hand axle nut. Any spacers or plain washers can generally
be retained. Put the coupling unit on the axle and reattach the nut. At the
same time align the coupling unit horizontally so that the square drawbar
connector fits on top. (see also picture 1 in 2.3.2.)
Please note: The axle nut must be tightened on the axle thread by at least 5
full turns, so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A thread which is
too short can lead to accidental loosening of the rear wheel and thereby to
damage and accidents. If in doubt ask your specialist dealer!
Tip: For bicycles where the length of the standard quick release is
insufficient, a special quick release with longer axle is available.
2.3.1.2. Bicycle with Quick Release Axle
Detach the quick release and guide it through the coupling unit along with
the quick release axle. Push the quick release through the hollow axle again,
attach the nut and clamp the quick release with the correct prestress.
(see also: Point 4.1) At the same time align the coupling unit horizontally so
that the square drawbar connector fits on top. (see also picture 1 in 2.3.2.)
Tip: For bicycles where the coupling
unit for horizontal assembly as
supplied does not fit, a coupling unit
for vertical assembly is available.
Please note: The thread of the adjusting nut of the quick release must be
tightened on the quick release axle by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate
clamping force is ensured. A quick release axle which is too short can lead
to accidental loosening of the rear wheel and thereby to damage or acci-
dents. If in doubt ask your specialist dealer!
2.3. Fixing the Drawbar on the Bicycle
2.3.1. Fitting the Coupling Unit to the Bicycle
Always fit the drawbar and coupling on the left hand side in direction of travel!
Please note: When the Croozer is used as a trailer behind a bicycle, your own and your child’s safety depend on
the coupling being properly fitted. Proceed therefore with special care. Never cycle with a coupling which is
inadequately attached or not secured. If in doubt ask your specialist dealer!
