Read and observe this manual

This manual contains information that is extremely impor-

tant for the safety of you, your dog and other road users.

Therefore, it is essential that you read the entire manual

carefully and follow the instructions closely. If you should

experience difculties understanding any of the informa-

tion or instructions, please contact your Croozer dealer.

Keep this manual handy at all times for future reference.

If you loan or sell your Croozer Dog, pass on this manual

to the new user. It is also vitally important that you read

and observe the instructions provided in the manual of the

towing bicycle.

Who can ride the towing bicycle?

Be sure to acquaint yourself with the applicable laws in the

state or country where you plan to use the Croozer Dog.

Requirements for the towing bicycle

The towing bicycle must be approved by its manufacturer

for pulling a trailer. This information can be found in the

owner’s manual of the bicycle. Furthermore, the towing

bicycle must be in perfect working order and have strong,

properly functioning brakes. Keep in mind that braking

distance is increased when pulling a bicycle trailer. The

rear wheel of the towing bicycle must be equipped with

an effective mudguard with mud ap. Otherwise, your dog

could be injured by stones and other debris thrown up from

the road. Motorised vehicles may not be used for pulling

bicycle trailers. The only exception to this rule is a pedelec.

This special type of e-bicycle has an electric motor that de-

livers assist only when the rider pedals. In many countries,

pedelecs legally qualify as bicycles. However, e-bikes with

a maximum speed of more than 25 km/h (15 mph) may not

be used for pulling the trailer. The towing bicycle should

be equipped with a sturdy rear-mount kickstand to ensure

safety when loading and unloading your dog.

Be sure to familiarise yourself with the legal requirements

that apply to towing bicycles in the country or state where

you will be using the Croozer Dog.

The towing bicycle must have a 26” to 29” (559 to 635 mm)

rear wheel. This information can be found on the tyre

sidewalls. The numbers 42-622, for example, indicate that

the tyre has a width of 42 mm and a bead-seat diameter of

622 mm (28 inches).

Legal requirements for using a bicycle trailer

Be sure to familiarise yourself with the legal requirements

that apply to pulling a bicycle trailer in the country or state

where you will be using the Croozer Dog.

Before your rst ride ...

It is important that you familiarise yourself with the Croozer

Dog before you use it for transporting your dog. You will

also need to help your dog get used to the Croozer Dog

(see page 19). Prior to your rst trip, Croozer GmbH rec-

ommends taking a practice ride without your dog in a calm,

trafc-free area; load the trailer with cargo of approximately

the same weight as your dog, for example, by strapping

a loaded rucksack into the cabin. This is a great way to

acquaint yourself with the handling of the bicycle and the

dimensions of the trailer.

Pinching hazard

When folding and unfolding the Croozer Dog, keep ngers

and hands clear of all possible pinch points (e.g. movable

frame parts and locking mechanisms).

Pulling the Croozer Dog as a Bicycle Trailer

Before each ride, check the following:

• Are the wheels securely attached?

• Are the two locking mechanisms properly engaged

(pins locked into the holes)?

• Is the hitch arm properly attached and secured? Is

the trailer properly hitched to the towing bicycle and

secured with the safety strap? Are all Click & Crooz®

fastening systems and security pins correctly inserted

and secured? Make sure there are no security pins

hanging freely from their straps.

• Are the tyres inated to the correct pressure? The

actual tyre pressure should never be higher or lower

than the maximum and minimum ination pressures

marked on the tyre sidewall. (See also page 30.) Never

use compressed air, e.g. from a petrol station, to inate

your tyres. The rapid airow and high pressure can

over-inate the tyres, causing the tube and/or tyre to

burst.

Turning

Always reduce your speed to a walking pace when mak-

ing turns with the Bicycle Trailer. Keep in mind that riding

speed is often underestimated, especially on bikes with

electric assist (i.e. pedelecs). When turning at high speeds,

the increased centrifugal force could cause the Bicycle

Trailer to skid or tip over, which can result in accidents with

serious injury or death.
