2.5 Safety Guidelines for Use in Carrier Bicycle and
Trailer Mode
Test Ride the Zigo
®
Leader™
• Familiarize yourself with the vehicle. Test ride the vehicle without your child, to
familiarize yourself with its handling.
• Be sure to read the Zigo® Leader™ Bicycle Owner’s Manual for full instruction on
the Cycle component of your Leader™.
• Before each ride, ensure that neither the ChildPod® nor any of its parts interfere
with the braking, pedaling, or steering of the vehicle.
• Use a well-maintained bicycle with the ChildPod® in Trailer Mode.
• Pick a controlled environment, away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles or other
hazards. Ride to become familiar with the controls, features and performance of
your new Leader™.
• Familiarize yourself with the braking action. Test the brakes at slow speeds,
putting your weight toward the rear and gently applying the brakes, rear brake
fi rst. Sudden or excessive application of the front brake could pitch you over the
handlebars. Applying brakes too hard can lock up a wheel, which could cause
you to lose control and fall. Skidding is an example of what can happen when a
wheel locks up.
• Practice shifting the gears (see Bicycle Owner’s Manual). Remember to never
move the shifter while pedaling backward, nor pedal backward immediately
after having moved the shifter. This could jam the chain and cause serious
damage to the bicycle.
• Use the Parking Brake. To prevent the Leader™ from accidentally rolling away,
engage the Parking Brake when the Carrier Bicycle is not being ridden. Failure
to engage the parking brake can result in serious injury or death to you or your
passengers.
• If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about the Leader
TM
• If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about the LeaderTM • If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about the Leader
is not
as it should be, stop all use of the Zigo® Leader™ and consult your nearest
Authorized Zigo® Dealer or Zigo® directly.
Turning Radius
• Verify that the Steering Lock is disengaged in Carrier Bicycle Mode. If

ENGLISH
Steering Lock is engaged in Carrer Bicycle Mode, the Leader™ will not be
able to maneuver properly and serious injury or death can result to you or
your passengers. Conversely, in Trailer Mode, verify that the Steering Lock is
engaged.
• The Leader™ has a 12 ft/3.7m turning radius, allowing you to manuever
through your typical suburban neighborhood easily.
• Plan your turns. The Leader
TM
• Plan your turns. The LeaderTM • Plan your turns. The Leader
in Carrier Bicycle Mode has a wide turning radius,
and its operation diff ers substantially from a bicycle. The Leader™ in Trailer
Mode changes the stability, braking requirements and riding characteristics of
a bicycle.
• In Carrier Bicycle Mode, do not lean into turns. The Leader
TM
• In Carrier Bicycle Mode, do not lean into turns. The LeaderTM • In Carrier Bicycle Mode, do not lean into turns. The Leader
in Carrier Bicycle
Mode behaves like a tricycle, not a bicycle; remain upright.
• Do not make sharp turns or turns at high speed. Sharp turns or turns at faster
than 5 mph/8 kmh may result in vehicle overturning and injury or death to you
or your passengers.
Starting , Stopping and Riding
• Take care when crossing streets and paths. The Leader™ is longer than a
standard bicycle and in Carrier Bicycle Mode, the nose of the Leader™ may
inadvertently stick out into oncoming traffi c. In Trailer Mode, the ChildPod®
may inadvertently be left in traffi c even though the bicycle has cleared the
intersection.
• Additional weight of children in the ChildPod®, and the weight of the
ChildPod® itself, requires more time and distance to start and stop the vehicle.
• Do not brake sharply. The vehicle may overturn and serious injury or death
can occur.
• Test brakes. Always test your brakes prior to using the vehicle.
• Avoid instability and potential hazard. Use caution if operating the vehicle

Cycle and ChildPod® are properly secured with the LeaderLink®. Never operate
the vehicle in Trailer Mode if you are unsure if the Trailer Arm has securely
coupled the ChildPod® to the bicycle.
• In Carrier Bicycle Mode and Trailer Mode, do not operate on hills; it may be
diffi cult to control your speed on the descent.
• Always use the orange safety fl ag for increased visibility
