    BicyLift maintenance manual This document is intended for BicyLift users. As the bike trailer is a purely mechanical system, its maintenance and repairs remain accessible to anyone equipped with the standard tools. In order to ensure quality, safety and durability of the entire product, we supply spare parts on request.

  • Page 2: Trailer Frame

    Trailer frame • Check the tightness of the frame/wheel blocks with a 5mm Allen key and a 13mm wrench. • Check that the ducts are securely fastened to the frame with the 9 plastic hose clamps. Mudguards • Check the general condition of the mudguards, that the wheel does not rub. Check with a 4mm Allen key that the 4 M5x14 screws of each mudguard are tightened properly to avoid unwanted vibrations.

  • Page 3: Lighting

    Lighting • Check that the lights are screwed onto their support and that the support itself is tightened onto the wheel block (4mm Allen key). • Check that the front and rear lights on both wheels are working when each wheel turns. If necessary, move the magnet so that it passes in front of the lights.
  • Page 4 1. If the trailer is carrying a load, set the load down as usual 2. Turn the trailer over 3. Loosen and remove the screw on the axle of the punctured wheel (Allen 6mm) 4. Remove the black axle from the wheel. 5.
  • Page 5 7. Reinstall the repaired wheel or spare wheel. It must be completely deflated to pass without removing the brake caliper. The black axle is inserted from the outside of the trailer. Make sure that the square end of the black axle matches the square of the wheel block plate.

  • Page 6: Lifting/Unloading

    Lifting/Unloading Rear hooks • Check the condition of the rubber roller which limits vibrations. It is a wearing part, available as a spare part, which is fixed with TBHC M4x16 screws. • Check that the rear hooks don’t vibrate in the wheel blocks. If necessary, tighten the two M8 screws again with a 5mm Allen key and a 13mm flat spanner.
  • Page 7 Settings & repairs If you are having problems picking up or dropping off, identify the problem as appropriate: • Problem depositing the charge Reminder: To drop the load, the load must rest firmly on the ground at the front (lower the front of the trailer) before pulling the white trigger to release the latch hooks.
  • Page 8 • If the cables and their casings are damaged or if the problem stays unresolved If the sheaths and cables are damaged or if the strike system does not work despite the previous adjustments, proceed to disassembly and reassembly with spare parts. References: Left latch cable 1.25m and right latch cable 1.75m.

  • Page 9: Braking System

    Braking system Checkpoints • Check the brake pads and disc for wear. The padding of the brake pads must be sufficient. Noise may occur during braking if the pads are too worn. The brake pads are Shimano M515 type, to change them you can follow the TRP manual supplied with the trailer documentation.

  • Page 10: Settings & Repairs

    Settings & repairs • Setting the braking system For easy adjustment, use the black knurls on the brake calipers to adjust cable tension. Place the brake caliper upright against a wall and let the wheel turning while adjusting with the knurl so that the pads are as close to the disc as possible without touching it.

  • Page 11: Hitch Trailer/Bike

    Checkpoints • Bike hitch Check that the bike hitch ball is vertical and free of any abnormalities. Check the attachment of the BicyLift attachment to the bicycle (tightening of screws, condition of the clamps, etc.). • Trailer hitching system Make sure that the bushing that slides on the trailer hitch does not have the corners bent so that the hitch ball can escape.

  • Page 12: Drawbar

    Settings & repairs • Disassembly of the hitch 1. Unscrew the grey screw with a large flat screwdriver OR the black screw if previous model with a 4mm Allen key (screw with threadlocker). 2. Unscrew the black brake control screw with a 3mm Allen key.
  • Page 13 5. Reassemble the indexer, taking care to ensure that it is correctly oriented. For example, refer to the standing position of the drawbar, which must be at right angles to the frame tube. Need advice or spare parts: contact us! contact@fleximodal.fr +33 222 930 940 13/13...
