Safety instructions for use as an
XC Skiing Carrier
•
Please note: For the CX 1 and CX models there
is a special XC Skiing Kit axle adapter required.
The XC Skiing Kit does not fit because the axle is too
short. The short axle will not engage fully in the CX1 and
CX models, with the result that the skis would not be
held securely.
•
Please make sure you read the safety instructions in the
"safety" section at the beginning of this owner's manual.
•
Before each journey check that all components are properly
fitted, particularly the skis and the tow bars.
•
always make sure that the security pin of the tow bars
are properly installed, so as to prevent the carrier from
accidentally separating from the arms.
•
always make sure the buckle on the strap is securely closed
and the strap fits tightly. If this is not done, the XC Skiing
carrier might get separated from you resulting in an accident
in which your passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or
death.
•
make sure the length of the tow bars are adjusted correctly,
to ensure that your skis or poles will not come into contact
with the carrier.
•
remember that the additional weight of the carrier with
the xc skiing kit considerably changes the way you ski,
particularly going up or down hills. For this reason, only an
experienced skier should use the carrier with the xc skiing
kit.
•
First take the carrier with the xc skiing kit for a practice run
without children, but with the maximum load. Perform the
practice run on terrain that is more difficult to ski than that
which you want to travel later with children.
•
Be mindful of the increased space needed when cross-
country skiing, due to the width and length of the carrier.
Take care in oncoming traffic!
•
never use the carrier with the xc skiing kit for downhill
skiing.
•
never tow the carrier with the xc skiing kit behind a
snowmobile, quad or any motorized vehicle
•
use extreme caution on hills, challenging trails, and when
stopping.
•
regularly check on your children to ensure they are
comfortable and are warm enough.
check that use of the xc skiing carrier is allowed in the
skiing region where you intend to use it.
