Eight important rules for the safe use of your Chariot carrier.
1. Read all instructions before use!
Failure to read, understand and follow these instructions may result in an otherwise avoidable acci-
dent. You or your passengers could be seriously injured or die.
2. The safe and proper use of this product is your responsibility!
3. Do not modify or alter your carrier.
4. Children must be at least 1 year old and be able to sit upright alone.
Consult your pediatrician before carrying any child younger than one year.
5. The maximum capacity is 75 lbs/34 kgs for a single child jogging stroller and 100lbs/45 kgs for
a double jogging stroller. This includes children, luggage and other supplies.
Articles carried in the carrier should be well anchored to avoid shifting during travel. Unstable loads
and overloading make the carrier less stable and more difficult to control.
6. Always fasten shoulder harness, lap belt and crotch strap securely and tightly around children.
Periodically check placement of shoulder straps, especially for a sleeping child. Make sure children
cannot put fingers into the wheel spokes. Instruct children not to bounce, rock or lean.
7. Do not leave children unattended in the carrier.
8. To insure a smooth ride, keep tires inflated to 30-35 P.S.I. Check tire pressure before each use.
Over inflating tires or use of high pressure tires can cause the carrier to overturn.
A. Maintenance
Periodically check the carrier for damage, cracks, etc. Replace at first sign of damage. Any damage
or deterioration on any part of your Chariot carrier should be repaired or replaced immediately to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
B. Fabric/Shell Care
Your Chariot carrier is manufactured from a tough, durable, water resistant fabric. Clean fabric with
household soap or mild detergent and warm water only. Wipe dry. Do not machine dry.
C. Wheels
Wheels and axles should be serviced by a Chariot dealer at least twice a year. Before each outing,
check wheels for damage and axles to ensure they are properly installed (see pages 4 and 5 for
details). If axles stick or feel tight, dust off axle with a dry rag and use small amount of lubrication.
Note: Use an oil based lubricant only!
D. Storage
Store your carrier in a dry, well-ventilated area. To avoid mildew, make sure carrier is dry before
storing. Keep your carrier out of the sun when not in use to reduce fading. Do not store the trailer
attached to your bike.
Always check all parts every time you use your trailer!! 2

Your Chariot Carrier is shipped 99% assembled. Initial assembly takes a few minutes. After that, folding and
unfolding can be done in seconds.
Note: Any reference to orientation (left or right) is from the passenger’s point of view while in the carrier.
1. Stand at the back of the carrier body. Grab the upper frame and pull up until it stops.
2. Pull back on both the right and left lower bars until they “snap” all the way back over centre and the auto lock pin
engages.
CAUTION: PULL BACK ON THE LOWER BARS FROM BEHIND THE PIVOT BRACKETS TO AVOID PINCHING
YOUR FINGERS.
3. Insert both securing pins (hanging by straps attached to the frame) through both holes on the pivot brackets.
Figure 1
4. To collapse, remove securing pins, push the auto lock button, and then push both the right and left lower bars
forward until carrier is completely collapsed. Figure 2
NOTE: Do not attempt to collapse carrier without first pushing down the auto lock button.
WARNING! FAILURE TO INSERT SECURING PINS MAY CAUSE CARRIER TO COLLAPSE.
OCCUPANTS MAY BE INJURED.
1. Depress the rubber cap on the wheel hub with your thumb and fully insert the clevis axle into the hollow
axle. Once fully inserted and secured, you should hear a “click” or “snap” sound.
IMPORTANT: To ensure the axle system is engaged properly, test by trying to pull the wheel outwards after
installing. The wheel should be locked in its installed position. If not, do not use and take your
carrier to your Chariot dealer for servicing
2. Repeat on other side with other wheel.
IMPORTANT:
Securing pins
must go through
both holes in
each bracket.
