Chariot Carriers Captain XL - Manual (Page 15)

15
Screw the two self-locking nuts onto the two side bolts. Screw
them on so that the end of the bolt protrudes through the nut,
but not so tight that the brake cannot move.
Cabriolet und Corsaire XL: Inside the carrier, screw the third
self-locking nut onto the bolt of the brake pivoting mechanism.
DANGER
Always make sure that the self-locking nuts are only screwed
onto the bolts until the end of the bolt protrudes through the
nut. If this does not happen, the self-locking nuts cannot fulfi l
their self-locking function, and this may result in the brake
working loose. You run the risk of an accident!
DANGER
The parking brake is not suitable for deceleration of a moving
carrier.
Operating the parking brake
When the parking brake is released the operating lever points to
the right and should be resting up against the lower rear edge of
the carrier (seen in the direction of travel).
To apply the brake, the operating lever must be moved
completely to the left. Once you have moved it past the
middle of the carrier, the operating lever should automatically
overcenter into the left and closed position.
Now both brake arms press on the tires, thereby stopping the
wheels from turning.
DANGER
Depending on the tire pressure, the operating lever can snap
with some force into its closed position. Be careful when
doing so as you risk getting trapped!
Captain XL: Screw the third self-locking nut onto the bolt of the
brake pivoting mechanism.
In this case too, screw this on so that the end of the bolt
protrudes through the nut, but not so tight that the brake cannot
move.
