Retain these instructions for information and for maintenance works as well as orders for spare parts. KETTLER´s child’s seat was designed incompliance with applicable safety regulations and manufactured under permanent quality control. The knowledge gained in this process is used to constantly improve and develope our products. In order to offer our customers the very best in quality, we reserve the right to make technical changes at any time. Should you have the need of assistance, please conntact your dealer. For Your Safety ■ Only use this bicycle child's seat for its intended purpose, i.e. only mount it above the bike's rear axle by means of the included mounting parts and only use it for the transport of children. ■ The child’s seat can be used for bicycles whose minimum diameter of the wheels is 26 inch; the diameter of the frame tube must be 28, 30, 32, 35 or 40 mm. ■ Any other exploitation is inadmissible may may even be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for

damage caused by unauthorized use. The bicycle used must be safe and correspond with the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). According to § 21 of Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and/or §§ 4 and 7 of StVO only children under the age of 7 years may be carried by persons who are at least 16 years old. The seat may be loaded with max. 22 kg (weight of child plus additional luggage). Moreover, children who cannot sit alone (up to about 9 months) should not be carried. If you have a special bicycle structure please ask your dealer as to whether your bike is suitable for the use of a child's seat. The bicycle must be suited for accepting such additional loads. Furthermore, the admissible total weight of the bicycle including child and child's seat must not be exceeded. If necessary, ask your bicycle manufacturer or supplier for the bicycle's carrying capacity. Do not attach additional luggage to the child's seat. If necessary, use a luggage carrier for the front axle in order to obtain a load balance. Please, note that the carrying capacity of bicycle and child's seat are not exceeded. If you transport your bicycle on a luggage rail on your car, by all means dismount the child's seat from your bicycle since with growing velocities the air resistance increases which may lead to a higher fuel consumption and to exceeding the carrying capacity of the luggage rail. The child’s seat for bicycles meets all safety regulations. Repair works done by non-experts and alterations to the construction (dismounting original parts, attachment of parts without approval) may cause harm to the user. Damaged components may jeopardize your or the child’s safety. Therefore, before beginning a ride, you should check all components for potential damage and loose connections (screws, connections, safety belts etc.). Damaged or worn components have to be replaced immediately. Exclusively use original KETTLER spare parts. When attaching the seat to a bicycle that has a saddle stem with suspension please take into account the distance between the seat and the suspension spring. You should ensure that the child’s fingers cannot reach the spring thus avoiding the possibility of injury. Assembly ■ The child’s seat must be positioned such that it is not in contact with the luggage carrier. The distance between luggage carrier and tube shackle must be min. 25 mm. ■ Fix the tube shackle parallel to the ground. This results in a seat which is slightly inclined towards the rear such that the child may not slide out of the seat. The seat back is slighty inclined to the rear. ■ The load centre (marked by a red point) may only be within 10 cm behind the wheel hub (explained in detail below).

■ In case of saddles with uncovered springs the latter have to be covered as a protection against bruises (e. g. art. nr. 8947-690). ■ Further to that the rear wheel is provided with an additional cover on the spokes or a protective device to pre- vent dresses from getting mingled with the spokes. Handling and security of riding ■ Please observe that the riding behaviour of the bicycle changes when the child’s seat is used (irrespective of child being present or not). Owing to the increased centre of gravity the bicycle's behaviour may unfavourable change and the bicycle's dirigibility may be impaired. For this reason, ride carefully – in particular with regard to braking and evading manoeuvres. Also avoid riding with one hand. ■ Ask the child to sit quietly. Sudden weight transfers by the child may considerably affect your safety during a ride. ■ Pay attention that the child does not handle any objects (e.g. toys) which might get mingled with the whels. Clothes or extremities of the child should never get into turning parts or into the brake and transmission system. ■ Protect your child from sharp edges at your bicycle, from worn cables and other parts that might lead to injuries. ■ Before beginning a ride and during a tour check whether or not the child’s seat is positioned firmly on the bicycle; also check screwings and other connections for proper seat. ■ Only transport the child with the safety belt being fastened and the foot straps being closed. Have a check during the breaks that those safety devices are still unopened. ■ Even if no child is carried, close the seat belt to avoid that it gets into turning parts or that it clings to parts that are passed during riding. ■ Pay attention to a suitable and sufficiently warm clothing of your child.Children who are sitting still normale cool down faster than the rider. ■ Do not park your bicycle before the child has left its seat. ■ We recommend that adult and child wear suitable helmets. ■ Adjust the headrest such that its upper edge matches the child's ear level. ■ In cases of doubt and any other question do not hesitate to contact your specialized dealer. ■ Never leave your child alone and unattended in its child’s seat due it the danger of the bicycle falling over. ■ If seat or clothers are dam it is possible that the colour of the seat could mark pale coloured clothes due to friction. Service and maintenance ■ Always use environmentally friendly substances (never aggressive or etching ones) for the cleaning and service of the child’s seat for bicycles. ■ You can also clean safety belts, if required. In this case it is especially important not to use aggressive substances! Usually a weak rinsing lye or suds. Accessories ■ If you want to attach the seat to another bicycle, you can order a second carrier for the child’s seat. (item no. 8947-633). ■ To secure the child’s seat from theft, a cylinder lock can be inserted into the seat support bracket (see page 18). The lock (type K.01.32.G1) is not supplied with the seat. The lock is obtainable from: Firma P.C. Fischer, Kaiserstraße 126, D-58300 Wetter/Ruhr, tel. (0) 23 35/42 64, fax (0) 23 35/58 46 Note on Assembly Assembly must be carried out carefully by an adult.
