Mounting the coupler onto a bicycle

Danger!
Make sure that your bicycle is suitable for towing a bicycle trailer, see
on page 4. Since it may in some cases be necessary to change the rear wheel axle, it is
best to consult your specialist dealer or the bicycle manufacturer in order to do this.
Caution!
Secure the bicycle to prevent it from toppling over, and make sure that the rear wheel
cannot drop out of the axle mount after the screw connection has been undone. Use for
example an assembly stand, or turn the bicycle upside down so that you can place it on its
saddle and handlebars.
Prepare the bicycle for mounting the coupler by undoing the screw connection of the rear wheel
f
axle:
Quick-release axle: Open the bracket of the quick-release axle and unscrew the cap nut on the
–
other side of the rear wheel axle.
Full axle: Unscrew the nut on the left side of the rear wheel axle.
–
Mount the coupler on the rear wheel axle:
f
Place the large hole of the coupler onto the left side
–
of the rear wheel axle so that the coupler is facing
outwards.
Screw on the dedicated nut and tighten it slightly.
–
Align the rear wheel so that it can turn freely.
–
Align the coupler so that it faces horizontally to the
–
rear.
Tighten the connection to secure the rear wheel:
f
Quick-release axle: Use the supplied M5 quick release adapter. Tighten the cap nut until you can
–
close the clamp with a certain amount of pressure.
Full axle: Tighten the nut with a spanner. Always pay attention to the bicycle manufacturer's
–
notes about the tightening torque.
Danger!
The axle nut must be tightened in order to assure sufficient clamping force. Therefore,
observe the assembly instructions for the hub and the manufacturer's torque specifica-
tions when tightening the axle nut.
Caution!
Due to the construction of the coupler, slight wear and tear in the form of scratches can
occur at the connection between bicycle frame and coupler. This is not a reason for a
complaint.
Danger!
Do not use a washer or similar at the connection between the bicycle frame and coupler
because this could negatively affect the stability of the connection.
Tip!
The provided universal coupler is suitable for mounting on the most rear-wheel models. If
it does not fit your bicycle, find a suitable adapter and special couplers in our manuals on
the following website:
