6.4. Storage
Store your CROOZER in a dry and well-ventilated place. Before storing your carrier, it should be dry to prevent the growth of
mould and the formation of marks from mildew. Expose your CROOZER as little as possible in direct sunlight to prevent
colour fading. Do not store the trailer coupled to the bicycle over a long period of time.
Please note:
As well as rubber, tyres contain many chemical substances which improve their physical characteristics. In unfavourable cir-
cumstances, these substances may lead to staining of the transparent side panels of the child transporter. For this reason,
always store wheels in such a way that they do not come into contact with these transparent side panels.
7. Warranty
The statutory warranty covers defects. Damage resulting from improper use, use of force, lack of maintenance, or normal wear
and tear, is excluded from such a statutory defect warranty.
The period of statutory warranty depends on the law of the country in question.
Our products have components or parts which are also subject to natural wear and tear arising from normal use, depending
very much on the type and degree of use and also how well the product has been serviced and maintained.
In particular where there has been a lot of use (day in day out and in all kinds of weather), individual parts or components
can reach their wear limit before the statutory guarantee period has expired. Just because a product has become prematurely
worn because of use, it does not automatically mean the product is defective.
For your information we have therefore listed in the following table the important parts affected by wear and tear, and have
named typical contributing factors relating to use, which may considerably influence wear limit.
Maintenance and care of bicycle trailers and jogging strollers:
Irrespective of the:
• type of use
• intensity of use
• care and maintenance
functional-related wear occurs in bicycle trailers or jogging strollers in the components and parts listed in the following table.
Reaching the wear limit very much depends on how well the users have looked after and maintained the product as well as
the particular type and intensity of use such as:
• Mileage in km
• Loading of:
Passengers
Baggage
• Type of ride:
Degree of acceleration and braking
• Fast cornering
• Effects of the weather:
UV rays
Humidity
Dirt
Please look at the following table (‘Wear factors’). You can see from this table which factors particularly affect the wear and
tear on individual parts.
This table complements the existing operation guide – please make sure you also take note of Section 6 "Maintenance, Care
and Storage of the CROOZER".

Look after your trailer. All painted, chrome or galvanised parts (including all screw connectors) should be regularly cleaned and
protected using standard products for this purpose. Ask your specialist dealer about suitable products for protecting your trailer.
