GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT USAGE

Before using the product check over the highway code of the country in which it is being used. The bicycle front seat is suitable for children with a maximum weight of 15 kg (33lb). Do not use the seat if the weight of the child is more than the approved amount. Regularly check that the weight of the child does not exceed this limit. For use only with children who are able to sit for a long time alone and without help (as of roughly 9 months old). Do not use the seat on motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, racing bikes and bikes with suspension. EN EN15 Do not use the seat on electric bicycles. The seat may be used on Pedelecs. Check that the limbs and clothes of the child or that of the driver cannot be caught in the moving parts of the bicycle or in the seat (e.g. in the brakes or the spokes of the wheel). Use a saddle cover or a saddle with internal springs. Check this regularly with the child’s growth. Check that the child cannot stick ngers nor feet in the wheel spokes. Check that the child cannot reach any sharp or pointed parts (e.g. frayed brake cables) Check that the child is dressed sufciently and warmer than the driver is and appropriately protected in the case of rain. Have children wear a safety-approved helmet of an appropriate size (in some countries wearing a helmet is a requirement, consult the highway code of the country where you use the seat). Never carry two children at the same time. The cyclist must be at least 16 years old. Attach all the straps, even if you are not carrying a child. Check that the straps cannot reach the wheels or other moving parts of the bicycle, both with and without the kid on the bicycle. Always check before placing the child in the seat, that the seat is not too hot (this can happen, for example, when the seat has been exposed to direct sunlight). Take the seat off the bike when transporting it on the outside of a vehicle (e.g. on the roof of a car, on a trailer or on the back of the RV). The air ow could damage the seat or break the fasteners of the seat on the bike thus causing an accident.

WARNING: The manoeuvrability of the handlebars can be hindered by the child seat. Replace the

handlebars, if the child seat reduces the steering angle on each side to below 45 °.

WARNING: Do not perform installation operations with the child in the seat.

Normally, the bracket (13) is not necessary for mounting the support to fasten the bicycle front seat. Nevertheless, it is recommended to keep the bracket in order to mount the support of the Bellelli seat at a later date. For this type of installation follow the manual that comes with the rear seat. Remove the luggage carrier or the basket of a bicycle they obstruct the installation of the seat. Mounting Support Installation Locate the area where the mounting support is attached to the bicycle. See gures C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and familiarize yourself with the components which are necessary for mounting the support (g. A). Insert the gaskets (4) into the two iron screws (2 or 3). The choice of the correct pair of screws, as well as the appropriate components, depends on the bicycle frame, as shown in gures C1, C2, C3, C4, C5. Keep the other pair of screws and the unused components for possible later conguration of the attachment. Do not confuse the screws of the two pairs. The screws can be xed according to four different combinations (g. B). Select the suitable combi- nation for the bicycle frame on which the support is mounted. The congurations shown in gures C1, C2, C3 are equivalent. The right choice of this only depends on the shape and the dimensions of the bike frame. REMARK: Correct installation foresees that the nuts completely wrap the screw thread after their fastening, i.e. There must be no space inside the nut. If this is not the case, the mounting support is EN EN16 not properly attached. Furthermore, after tightening and covering the mounting support, the screws may only emerge slightly (see g. E). Position the mounting support (7) on the bicycle frame and make sure that the two openings which are meant for the support fork are placed upwards.

WARNING: Do not attach the mounting support to the handlebar.

WARNING: Align the mounting support in the direction of travel (yellow button aligned towards the

front part of the bicycle). Screw the nuts slightly and evenly on (g. D). The mounting support must be able to rotate freely around the bar, in so far as it is consistent with the shape of the bike frame. The denitive xing takes place after the correct position for the seat is set (as is shown in the following section “Assembly of the seat on the bike”).

WARNING: Check that the mounting support does not interfere with the break and gear shift cables.

Safety System / Theft Protechtion The mounting support is equipped with a security system/theft protection, which can be operated with a key (5) that is operates with the equipment. If the system is in the closed position, it is not possible to insert the support fork of the seat in the bracket or pull them out. If the system is in the open position, it is possible to insert the support fork of the seat in the bracket and pull them out. To move from the open to the closed position: Insert the key into the lock (g. F) and rotate one quarter turn clockwise. To move from the closed to the open position: Insert the key into the lock (g. F) and rotate a quarter turn counter clockwise. Mounting the Support Fork on the Seat Place the seat on the head. Position the support fork (17) under the seat (g. G). Place the screws (15) into the seat (g. H). Position the xing plate (16) under the seat (g. I). Tighten the nuts (14) to fasten the support fork (g. L).

WARNING: Periodically check the tightening of the nuts. These can come loose during use.

Assembling the Seat on the Bike Be sure that the mounting support lock is in the “open” position. Press the yellow button (6) and place the support fork (17) into the holes on the upper part of the mounting support (g. M).

WARNING: After successful insertion, make sure that the yellow button (6) is latched. If it is not

latched, the support fork (17) is not correctly inserted: Repeat the process. Align the seat along the bike’s axis. Check that the seat does not interfere with the pedals, brakes, gears and any other moving parts of the bicycle. Leave enough space to be able to place the child in and remove it from the seat. EN EN17 The child must have enough leg room while riding. The cyclist must have enough space to comfortably drive and steer. Make sure that the knee does not hit against the seat while riding. Make sure that the handlebars do not jam in the seat while steering. Tighten the nuts (8) on the mounting support, once you have determined the best location for the seat.

WARNING: Check to make sure that tightened nuts completely cover the threads (g. E). If this is

not the case, the mounting support is not properly attached. Attach the cover (1) by pushing against the front of the mounting support so that it locks into place on the sides of the mounting support where the corresponding notches are located. For a correctly positioned cover, make sure that the rectangular indentation is directed upward. A click shows a successful mounting. The correct choice of the components, in particular the screws ensures that the they do not emerge from the cover. Lock the mounting support by turning the key to the “closed” position (Fig. F).

WARNING: Check the tightening of the screw regularly. These can come loose during use.

Removing the Seat from the Bike Place the security system / Burglar in the open position. Press and hold the button (6) on the mounting support (17) and pull the seat upwards (g. N). Installing the Footrests Take the left footrest (25) (L symbol printed on the back). Insert it into the vertical slot of the left leg strap. Push it all the way up (g. O). Take the catch lever (23) of the left footrest (L symbol printed on the back). Insert the catch lever into the hole on the backside of the footrest. insert it from the outside and push it all the way through to the back (g. P). Close the locking lever by pushing it down until you hear a click (g. Q). Repeat the same operations for the right footrest (symbol R).
