USER GUIDE AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! Read the user manual carefully before use.
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new Explorer Cargo and thank you for choosing Nordic Cab!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! - Follow these instructions to avoid injury.
SYKLING:
Always use a well maintained bicycle with good brakes and correct air pressure in the tires. Check that air pressure in
the tires for the bicycle and the cart match the recommended pressure every time you use the cart. Always follow the
safety instructions when you are using this product.
The bicycle trailer can become overturned if used carelessly. Do not ride over holes or objects with high speed. Do not
turn or ride downhill with high speed. Always turn carefully (5 km/h or less). The maximum speed for the bicycle trailer
is 24km/h.
Maximum load:
For safety reasons, we state the total maximum weight of the carriage when cycling at 60 kg.
Check that the weight on the end of the bicycle drawbar (where the bicycle attachment is mounted) is more than 2 kg,
but does not exceed 9 kg with a fully loaded carriage.
Start and stop:
It is VERY different to ride with a bicycle trailer than without one. The higher weight means that acceleration and
braking are significantly slower than when cycling without a trailer. A combination of a bicycle and a trailer is also
significantly longer, and it is important to allow more time for crossing roads. Take also trailer’s width in account when
taking large turns.
Rules for safe cycling:
WARNING!
•Do not make any modifications or alterations to the cart.
•Ensure before every ride that the bicycle trailer does not affect braking, movement of the pedals or steering of the bicycle.
•Use the cart only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, as this provides better safety.
•Maximum allowed total weight of the cart is 60 kg.
•If cleaning is needed, wash with mild soap and cold water. Do not use strong detergents.
•Ensure before every ride that the bicycle attachment is securely attached.
•Practise cycling with the trailer to gain better understanding of and more experience with the usage of bicycle trailer.
MAINTENANCE
Your Explorer is virtually maintenance-free. All metal parts are made of aluminium, stainless steel, chromed and/or zinc plated
steel. Follow these simple maintenance instructions and your Explorer will stay pretty for years to come:
Wheels: Wash regularly and grease axle bolts.
Check the bicycle attachment, the hydraulic hose and the bicycle arm for wear and damage. Replace immediately if damage
or significant wear is visible. Ensure always that straps or other lose parts cannot become entangled in the wheel.
Cargo cover - PU (plastic cover) protected, waterproof Denier polyester fabric. If cleaning is needed, wash with mild soap and
cold water. Do not use strong detergents.

MONTERING AV SYKKELVOGN
1. Tow bar
Pull the locking pin (a big,
spring loaded locking pin) on
the left side (in the direction of
travel) and insert the bicycle
arm. Release the locking pin
and push the tube in until it
clicks in place.
IMPORTANT
The end of the locking pin is red
and should protrude approx.
3mm out on the side of the
frame .
IMPORTANT
Press down the metal handle
on the plastic clamp so that the
bicycle drawbar is firmly
attached, or adjust with the
screw on the underside of the
clamp (prevents any rattling and
wear).
2. Attach the safety wire
around the locking pin
After the bicycle arm is set in
the correct position, attach the
carbine hook on the safety
cable to the red loop on the
cart.
WARNING
Before use, always check that
the safety wire is properly fitted
and sighted. Failure to use or
misuse the safety wire could
cause serious injury.
3. Attachment to bicycle
Detach rear axle bolt from hub
on the bicycle. ATTENTION:
Be careful not to lose any
small parts or springs.
If your bicycle has a thick axle,
the nut must be unfastened.
Place the bicycle attachment
over the axle bolt and attach it
back to the hub exactly as you
detached it. If the axle is thick,
the nut is attached over the
bicycle attachment.
IMPORTANT
Tighten the axle bolt firmly
with the lever so that the
bicycle attachment is firmly
attached. Use wrench or
wrench if thick shaft.
4. Safety wire
Insert the tip of the bicycle
arm into the bicycle
attachment. Lock the bicycle
attachment securely to the
arm with a U locking pin.
Thread the safety cable
around the bicycle frame
(behind the fork) and back,
and secure the hook on the
cable. Tighten the cable while
the plastic sleeve on the arm
is placed towards the casing,
and lock the cable by moving
the plastic sleeve towards the
bend on the bicycle arm (DO
NOT USE FORCE)
WARNING
Ensure that loose parts cannot
come in contact with the
bicycle wheel. Ensure that the
bicycle attachment is properly
attached to the bicycle and
that the bicycle arm is properly
attached to that attachment.
Remember to check this every
time you use the bicycle
trailer.
