Reacha DIY User manual

We are very pleased that you have chosen a handcart and bicycle trailer from reacha. Our frame, which is
made in Bavaria, and the other parts of our products have been developed with care to guarantee you the
best possible handling and long durability.
If you use the trailer on the road, please note that the legal regulations for the use of bicycles and bicycle
trailers in the individual countries distinguish between them. Please obey the law and be considerate
towards other road users.
Please read our detailed operating instructions before the first use, which you can access via the follow-
ing link: www.reacha.de/pages/manual
Have fun with your reacha,

NO PASSENGER TRANSPORT
reacha load trailers are not designed for the transport of persons, especially not for children, and are
not approved for this purpose!
reacha must be installed professionally, otherwise there is a risk of accidents with life-threatening
injuries.
Care must be taken with the moving parts and especially with the snap-locks of the frame. Especially
with the first and inexperienced use there is a danger of getting your fingers and hands trapped. Pay
particular attention to the fact that during snapping the clips no skin gets into the aperture.
QUICK GUIDE
WARNING
!

Place the wheel frames and the trunk with the connecting tubes on the ground according to the illustra-
tion. Pay attention to the alignment of the trunk: there is a sewn-in QR Code on the inside of (B) with
which you can call up the assembly instructions.
Grasp the clip of the Snap-Lock on the grip surfaces with one finger each. Press with both thumbs away
from the pipe perpendicular to the pipe axis to open the clip. To close, light pressure from above onto the
clip and snap it into place. !!! When assembling and disassembling the trailer there is on the moving parts
and the snap-locks danger of pinching for fingers and hands !!!

4Drawbar mounting
Use the two drawbars and the drawbar extension for mounting. Make sure that the bar with the reacha
logo is on the right side (1). Insert the drawbar extension with the holes facing upwards into the orange
snap-locks of the bars.
Let the drawbar extension protrude a few holes without closing the snap-locks, so that the drawbar can
adjust flexibly when you take the next step.
3Mainframe assembly
First insert the outer ends of one wheel frame into the connecting tubes in the trunk. Close the snap-locks
at the desired hole position. The snap-locks are in the perfect position for correct locking when exactly
half a hole is visible. It is best to leave the snap-locks open until the drawbar is attached, as this will allow
the frame to be more flexible and the tubes to attach more easily. Attach the second bike frame in the
same way.

Open the Velcro of one side panel and fold both ends over the inner tube of the wheel mount.
Position the Velcro fasteners one above the other and close them by pressing them together.
Do the same on the other side. The trunk is now completely assembled and ready for the first use.
Attach the two bent ends of the drawbar rails with open snap-lock to the tube ends of the mainframe (3).
It is easiest to do this in a standing position and use the floor as a support. To click the snap-locks into
place, turn the two short ends of the drawbar slightly inwards and then release the snap-lock closing
mechanism (4). The further you pull out the main tube at the top end of the drawbar, the easier it will be.
With a wider setting of the wheel frame, the torsion increases. It is therefore easiest to mount the draw-
bar on the narrowest hole position of the mainframe.
5Wheel assembly
The wheel mounts of reacha are designed for wheels with a hub width of 100mm, with a minimum dia-
meter of 20" and a maximum diameter of 26". The width of the tyres must not exceed 4.0". The tightening
torque at the mounting must be between 5.0 and 7.5 Nm. Only use wheels that meet these characteristics,
otherwise there is a risk of damage, injury and accidents.

Open the snap-locks on the bow and first plug it into the front bow connector. Plug the bow then onto
the rear bow connector and close the snap-locks. The Bow is ready mounted.
7Bow assembly
Put the trunk on the floor. On one side there are the Velcro fasteners pointing upwards, which you use to
close the carrying bag. Put the loose frame components into the trunk.
Fold the side of the trunk opposite the Velcro fasteners over the frame parts.
Pull the other side of the trunk over the frame parts and close the Velcro.

8Transport and storage

Place the Velcro strip of the Bike-Connector around the seat post at the desired height. Thread the Velcro,
strip through the loop of the Bike-Connector, tighten it so strongly that the Bike Connector cannot slip
and close the Velcro strip. Fix the Bike-Connector in the height with the help of the tension strap, by
attaching it downwards around a suitable bicycle frame component.
9Bike Connector
The Bike-Connector is pre-mounted on the drawbar extension. When attaching it to the seat post, make
sure that it is aligned horizontally to the road depending on its later position. The length of the Bike-Con-
nector should be adjusted so that the drawbar does not drag on the bicycle. Tighten all screws on the Bike-
Connector so that it cannot twist (tightening torque 12 Nm).

Any use not listed in the above section is not permitted and is at your own risk. This includes in particular
use for the transport of persons. Commercial use, overloading, excessive speeds (higher than 20 km/h),
improper removal of defects and use on unpaved roads (with the exception of reacha beach 20"/ pro 26")
are not permitted.
reacha may not be used as a trailer for motorized vehicles such as mopeds and motorcycles. Use with elec-
tric bikes is only permitted with so-called pedelecs with pedal assistance (max.25 km/h). The liability of
good goods tegernsee GmbH for damages caused by non-compliance with these specifications is excluded.
aIntended use
The reacha is a load trailer for manual operation. It can also be used as a bicycle trailer with the optional
Bike-Connector. All product packages are intended for transporting loads during the day on roads and
paved paths, as a handcart or, if necessary, as a bicycle trailer, subject to compliance with these instruc-
tions. The product package reacha beach 20" and reacha pro 26" can also be used on slightly unpaved
streets and sand. Animals may only be transported in an adequately secured container intended for the
transport of animals.
bNo use for …
When used as a bicycle trailer in poor visibility conditions, at dusk or at night, the lighting must be installed
in accordance with the laws and regulations of the road traffic in the country where it is used.
Defects caused by improper use, use of force, insufficient maintenance or normal wear and tear are exclu-
ded from liability for material defects. The duration of the legal warranty depends on the respective
country-specific conditions.
reacha contains parts or components that are subject to natural wear and tear even under normal use.
This wear and tear is highly dependent on the individual type and intensity of use as well as the respective
maintenance and care condition.
Particularly in the case of intensive use (daily use in all weather conditions, especially in winter and near
salt water, use of pedelecs as towing bicycles, etc.), individual parts or components may reach their wear
limit even before the statutory warranty period expires. This is premature wear and tear due to use and
does not constitute a defect in the product.
In addition to the individual type and intensity of use, as well as care and maintenance, the achievement of
the wear limit depends on the following factors: mileage, load from luggage, driving style (hardness of
starting and braking, fast cornering), influence of weather (UV radiation, humidity, contamination, tem-
perature, salty air, contact with salt water, roads gritted with salt), storage (prolonged outdoor storage,
damp storage) and the state of care (care intervals, use of care products, maintenance and inspection work).
