■ If in doubt or if you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact your specialized dealer.
■ Attention: Do not attach additional luggage to the child's seat. If necessary, use a carrier for the front axle in or-
der to obtain a balanced load. Please note that the carrying capacity of bicycle and child's seat are not ex-
ceeded.
■ Attention: The seat must not be modified. The child’s bicycle seat meets all required safety regulations. Repair
works done by non-experts and alterations to the construction (dismounting original parts, attachment of parts
without approval etc.) may cause harm to the user.
■ Attention: Please note that the riding behaviour of the bicycle may change with a child in the seat, especially
regarding balance, steering and braking. Ask the child to sit quietly. Sudden weight transfers by the child may
considerably affect your safety during the ride.
■ Attention: Never park the bicycle with the child still in its seat.
■ Attention: Do not use the seat if one of its components is defective. Damaged components may jeopardize your
or the child’s safety. Before going on a ride you should check all components for potential damage and loose
connections (screws, connections, safety belts etc.). Damaged or worn components must be replaced immedia-
tely. Only use original KETTLER spare parts.
■ Attention: In case of extreme weather conditions please check if the seat can be used by the child, as for ex-
ample the seat may become very hot when there is strong solar radiation, or if the temperature is far below fre-
ezing point the skin may stick to the seat or its components.
■ Warning: When using KETTLER child seats we recommend using a standard seat post (not a spring loaded seat
post) in order to rule out the danger of pinching in the suspension area between the saddle and the saddle
connection.
Assembly
■ The child’s seat must be positioned such that it is not in contact with the luggage carrier. The distance between
luggage carrier and tube shackle must be min. 25 mm.
■ Fix the tube shackle parallel to the ground. This results in a seat which is slightly inclined towards the rear such
that the child may not slide out of the seat. The seat back is slighty inclined to the rear.
■ The load centre (marked by a red point) may only be within 10 cm behind the wheel hub (explained in detail
below).
■ In case of saddles with uncovered springs the latter have to be covered as a protection against bruises (e. g.
art. nr. 08947-690).
■ Further to that the rear wheel is provided with an additional cover on the spokes or a protective device to pre-
vent dresses from getting mingled with the spokes.
■ Tighten all screws with a torque of approx. 6 Nm. Check the tight fit of all screwed connections after assembly.
■ Please check whether all parts of the bike operate correctly with the set fitted in place (e.g. steering and bra-
kes).
Service and maintenance
■ Always use environmentally friendly substances, never aggressive or caustic ones, for cleaning and servicing
the child’s bicycle seat.
■ If necessary you may also clean the safety belts. In this case it is especially important not to use aggressive sub-
stances! Usually weak washing-up water or a mild detergent will be sufficient.
■ If seat or clothes are damp the colour of the seat may possibly mark pale coloured clothes due to friction.
Accessories
■ If you want to attach the seat to another bicycle, you can order a second carrier for the child’s seat. (item no.
8947-633).
■ To secure the child’s seat from theft, a cylinder lock can be inserted into the seat support bracket. The lock (type
K.01.32.G1) is not supplied with the seat. The lock is obtainable from: Firma P.C. Fischer, Kaiserstraße 126, D-
58300 Wetter/Ruhr, tel. (0) 23 35/42 64, fax (0) 23 35/58 46
