Chariot Carriers CX 1 - Manual (Page 18)

18
Use as intended
The brake system of the Chariot CX is intended to be used as
follows:
a) As a parking brake for parking the carrier
b) As a deceleration device for the masses relating to the carrier
for the following motive states:
Walking
Speed walking
Jogging
Inline skating
On inclines a maximum speed of 5 km/h / 3 mph is prescribed,
otherwise there is a risk of the brakes overheating leading to
possible brake failure.
The maximum permissible speed for using the brake system
with the carrier on level stretches is 15 km/h / 9 mph.
As part of the use as intended, you should also follow this
Owner’s Manual and comply with the prescribed maintenance
requirements.
Use not as intended
Any use that goes beyond the above is not as intended.
Use not as intended arises from overloading the carrier,
excessive speed and improper repair of defects or
PRGL¿FDWLRQV
The manufacturer is not liable for damages arising from use that
is not as intended – this is at the risk of the user.

DANGER
Do not touch the brake drum at the wheel centre after a long
period of use, as the brake drums can become hot and there
is a risk of getting burnt.
In the event of use not as intended the brake may overheat.
This may lead to reduction in braking force or even brake
failure.
DANGER
On inclines a maximum speed of 5 km/h / 3 mph is therefore
highly recommended, otherwise there is a risk of the brakes
overheating, leading to possible brake failure.
Please note that the brake system is only designed to
decelerate the carrier with its permissible maximum weight.
DANGER
During inline skating, for instance, the brake system is not
suitable for decelerating the transporter weight as well as
your own weight. You will need to also apply the deceleration
procedures that are possible in inline skating.
Use as a wheel brake
During travel the carrier can be decelerated and brought to a
stop by operating the brake from the brake lever. The brake
allows you to counteract unintended acceleration on inclines.

WARNING
Always ensure that the handlebar grip/ brake lever assembly
(S1) is securely fastened to the handlebar (S). Failure to
do so could result in an accident in which you and/or your
passenger(s) could suffer serious injury or death.
To completely detach the handlebar (S) from the carrier, the
entire brake lever and right handlebar grip assembly (S1) with
brake lever (A) can be removed by depressing a spring button
located in the right plastic bracket (S2) and pulling outward.
The handlebar grip and brake lever assembly (S1) can then
be stored in the upper mesh pocket, allowing the rest of the
handlebar to be stored separate from the carrier. To re-install,
simply push the handlebar grip/brake lever assembly (S1) back
into place, making sure the spring button fully engages. Check
by pulling outwards to ensure that the grip is securely attached.
