FISCHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Children Children and pedelecs

Only install children's seats on bicy- cles which are suitable for this kind of equipment. Never attach a children's seat to the seat post. Wrap and protect all springs and moving parts on the saddle and seat post. Please ensure that your child cannot trap their fingers anywhe- re. This could result in injury!

In some countries, only children up to a certain age may ride in child seats. Find out about the legal regu- lations which relate to the age of the child and the rider. If additional equipment was deli- vered with your pedelec which was not pre-assembled, please ensure that you read the manufacturer's instructions. Child bike trailers: • Take no chances in terms of quality when buy- ing bike trailers for children. • Only install child bike trailers on pedelecs inten- ded for this purpose using mounting parts which are supplied or approved by the manufacturer. • It is easy not to see a child bike trailer in traf- fic! Use a brightly coloured flag and approved light system to ensure that it is easily seen. Ask about safety accessories on our service hotline. • Notice that trailers make the pedelec much longer than usual. Riding a pedelec around corners with a trailer is different to riding wit- hout. You must keep this in mind when riding in traffic. Before riding on public roads, practise riding your bike with an empty trailer in a safe and quiet environment.

Inform yourself on whether the child is old enough to ride the bike and has the necessary license to do so before allowing him or her to ride the pe- delec. Pedelecs may only be ridden by children that are of legal age and possess the necessary permit. Don’t let children who are unatten- ded ride the pedelec without first thoroughly instructing them on how to use it. Explain to children the dangers of using electrical devices. Carrying children/trailers for children • Please only use safe, certified children's seats. • The child must wear a helmet, their feet must be tucked in and protected from any possible contact with moving parts, such as spokes. • A child seat changes the way your pedelec behaves when riding. Take note of the longer braking distances and the steering which could be less stable. Practice riding with a child seat in a safe area before taking to public roads. Please comply with the manufacturer's instruc- tions supplied with the seat.
