4.8 Adjusting the suspension
(Captain XL and Corsaire XL only)
The Captain XL and Corsaire XL are equipped with adjustable
suspension.
After loosening the knob, it is possible to move the clamp that
surrounds both leaf springs. The more this clamp is moved
in the direction of the wheel axle, the stiffer the suspension
becomes (see the weight scale on the top spring).
The weight indications on the scale are calculated from the
weight of the child(ren) and cargo (ie. You do not need to add
the weight of the carrier).
The weight indications on the scale relate fi rst and foremost to
use as a Bicycle Trailer. For other uses it may be a good idea
to set the suspension softer. If you discover that when riding
over bumps the suspension can be felt and likely heard , then
the suspension is set too soft and you need to move the knob
rearwards.
WARNING
Make sure that you retighten the knobs once you have adjus-
ted the clamp.
TIP
Where there are different weights on each of the two sides of
the carrier, or where only one side is loaded, we recommend
that the spring stiffness on each side be adjusted to the
weight of the side in question.
