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 information

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 ob-

serve the instructions provided in the manual of the towing

bicycle.

Who can ride in the Croozer Dog?

The Croozer Dog is intended for use with dogs and other

small animals up to 19 inches (48 cm) in height (chin to top

of head when standing). The vehicle is designed to carry a

maximum weight of 88 lbs (40 kg).

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. The rear wheel of the towing

bicycle must be equipped with an effective splashguard.

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 delivers assist only when the rider

pedals. In many countries, pedelecs legally qualify as

bicycles. However, e-bikes with a maximum speed of more

than 12 mph (20 km/h) 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” or 28” (559 or 622mm)

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 vitally 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 16). Prior to your  rst trip, Zwei plus zwei

GmbH recommends 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 exam-

ple, by strapping a loaded rucksack into the cabin. This is

a great way to become acquainted with the handling of the

bicycle and the dimensions of the trailer.

Buckle up!

For your safety and the safety of your dog and other road

users, dogs should always be leashed inside the trailer.

Crushing 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 both vertical frame tubes snapped securely into the

clips?

• Are all security pins correctly inserted and locked?

Check that none of the security pins are hanging freely

from their straps.

• Check tyre pressure prior to each ride. 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 24). Never use com-

pressed air, e.g. from a gas/petrol station, to  ll your

tyres. The rapid air ow and high pressure can overin-

 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. When turning at high speeds, the increased

centrifugal force can cause the trailer to skid or tip over

and result in accidents with serious injury or death.
