  • Page 20: Tires And Tubes

    TIRES AND TUBES After assembling your bike, it will be necessary to inflate the tires. Check the sidewall of the tire for the correct tire pressure (PSI) and inflate tires accordingly with a MANUAL BICYCLE PUMP. Improper inflation is the biggest cause of tire failure. Due to the slightly porous nature of bicycle inner tubes, it is normal for your bike tires to lose pressure over time.

  • Page 21: Operating Instruction

    Before riding, check the tire pressure and recheck all fasteners. The adult should straddle the bike to hold it steady and upright while the child climbs onto the Kazam Link. NOTE: Rider of the lead bicycle should have good bicycle knowledge and riding ability. Too often inexperienced riders use unsafe riding techniques and usually the result is a fall and possible injury.

  • Page 22: Maintenance

    STORING THE KAZAM LINK TRAILER BIKE When not in use for an extended period of time, the Kazam Link should be removed from the lead bicycle and safely stored indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area away from elements which may compromise the reliability or structural integrity of the trailer. Remove the Kazam Link trailer using the instructions as described on page 15.
