OUTBACKOUTBACK ONE 10846, Rev. 009, Manual Hamax Outback 2in1 EN and ASTM, 2020.05.12.indd 9-10 5/12/2020 4:51:57 PMp. 11 p. 12 as it affects the stability of the trailer. Bicycle safety Before connecting the bicycle trailer to your bicycle, ensure your bicycle is suitable for towing a trailer according to the bicycle manufacturer’s instruction and is equipped with well functioning brakes. It is recommended that the bicycle to which the trailer will be aached undergoes a safety check by a qualified bicycle mechanic before aaching the trailer. Bicycle trailers pulled by an EPAC can be restricted by law. Riding behavior When towing a trailer, your bicycle behaves heavier and less responsive due to the weight of the trailer. Familiarize yourself with this behavior by experimenting with a loaded trailer in a quiet area first, before entering crowded public roads. Be aware that due to the weight of the trailer, your bicycle has a longer braking distance. Use caution when driving down hill, as your bicycle will gain more speed rapidly. Do not exceed the maximum speed specified in this manual and slow down when making turns and on rough roads. Avoid riding over rocks, curbs or other obstacles that may cause the trailer to tip over. Using the trailer in unfavorable weather, road or traffic conditions can result in unsafe situations. Always use good judgement when deciding if conditions are safe to use the trailer. High visibility For optimal visibility and safety in the traffic, the multifunctional carrier has front (white), rear (red) and wheel (orange) reflectors. The tires also have reflective lines. Reflective piping is integrated in the outer fabric. When using the carrier as a bicycle trailer, you also need to apply the orange safety flag for even beer visibility. Intended use The trailer is intended for transportation of children as specified in this manual on public roads with light traffic, sidewalks and smooth paths. Hamax considers using the trailer in any other way as unintended use, including but not limited to:

• riding with excessive speed

• riding on rough off-road conditions

• using the trailer for commercial purposes

• transporting animals

• storing luggage in areas inside or outside the trailer other than in the trailer’s luggage compartment

• towing the trailer by motorized vehicles

• failing to comply with the instructions in this manual
