Important instructions
This manual is an addition to the manual for the Hamax Outback trailer and provides instructions that are important for the
safety of the skier and passengers when using the Hamax skiing kit for Outback. If you lend or sell your skiing kit, please pass on
this instruction manual to the new user. A digital copy is available for download on: www.hamax.com
Cross country skiing with Outback
Skiing with the Outback is different from ordinary cross country skiing. We advise to practice skiing without passengers but with a
similar load in the trailer before transporting children.Take your first trip on a familiar route.
The Outback Skiing Kit is designed for cross country skiing only. Using it on steep slopes, either going down or upwards, is
dangerous even for experienced skiers. Be careful on icy slopes as the trailer will have less traction. Skiing over surfaces with lile
snow will reduce mobility and damage the skis.
Always be sure to park the trailer on a flat area as there is no parking brake on the skiing kit. Do not use the trailer as a sledge or in
combination with a motorized vehicle.
Passenger safety
Never leave children unaended in the trailer. Regularly check the passengers to make sure that they are comfortable with the
temperature and ventilation in the trailer. While the skier may feel hot from the exercise, the children siing still in the trailer may
feel cold. Also, provide the children with protection against sunburn, as the windows in the trailer offer minimal shielding.
To prevent discomfort or injury in the event of an accident, children riding in the Outback must be secured with the seat
harnesses at all time. Before seing out, check that the skis and the ski legs are correctly fied on the trailer. Inspect the tow bar
connections to the harness and the trailer. Do not use the trailer if any part is broken, ripped or has a crack.

• using the trailer for commercial purposes

SKIER HARNESS
The Skier harness has belts to go around the waist and over the shoulders. It has straps (a) and Velcro section (b) at the waist that
can be adjusted the harness to fit the skier. Preferences on tightness vary between skiers, but always use both shoulders and
buckle the waist belt. Once the Ski harness has the right fit, the extra strap length can be stored using the elastic bands.
(photos)
The Tow bars connect to the Skier harness with a strap on the waist belt. Hold the Buckle sideways and stick it through theTow bar
ring to hook it. The length of the straps gives the skier room to move or to turn around. Pull the straps (c) at the front of the waist
belt to adjust the tightness of the connection. Practice before you go on a trip.
To disconnect the Tow bars, loosen the strap and pull the Buckle sideways back through the ring.
