51.1 Using carriers
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
Loading the carrier incorrectly compromises road safety. There is an increased
risk of accident and injury.
» Secure the baggage to the carrier to prevent it from slipping or falling off. Only
use undamaged lashing straps or similar.
» Make sure that the centre of gravity of the baggage is in the centre.
» Only use suitable bicycle bags from specialist retail outlets.
» Please keep in mind that the riding characteristics of your bicycle may change
due to the additional weight.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Your fingers may get trapped in the clamping brackets and the lashing straps
may snap back and injure you.
» Do not let go of the clamping brackets and/or lashing straps abruptly, but release
them carefully until they are slack.
• Load the carrier in such a way that lighting components (headlight, rear light, reflectors)
are not obscured.
• When loading heavier items of baggage, make sure that they are placed in bike bags as
far down as possible to achieve a low centre of gravity.
• Always ensure that the lashing straps or similar are fixed securely and cannot get
trapped in moving parts.
