Ca Go FS200 Top-Tails
Product Information
The FS200 Vario is a versatile cargo area that can be fitted with Top-Rails to provide additional security and reinforcement to the frame. The Top-Rails allow for the secure fastening and transportation of goods and loads, even oversized ones.
The scope of delivery includes:
- 1 Top-Rail tube
- 2x T-connector (half)
- 8x Plastic pipe protector
- 4x M5x25 screw
- 4x M5 (open) sleeve nut
The FS200 Vario cargo area is not suitable for transporting passengers in any version. It is important to always ensure that the load is properly secured when transporting objects. The driving characteristics of the FS200 will change depending on the load, so it is crucial to evenly distribute the load. Unsecured loads candevelop their own momentum, leading to unmanageable driving situations. The transport of liquids can also be critical if they can move freely.
Even with oversized loads attached to the Top-Rails, it is essential to maintain an unobstructed view. When loading, make sure that the cargo does not interfere with the steering or the movement of the wheels. The CrossBars limit the safe load space that can be used.
The tension on each strap must not exceed 150 N (approx. 15 kg). Exceeding this tension may cause damage to the aluminium frame. If the load is attached only to the lightweight panel, the maximum tensile stress is 100 N (approx. 10 kg). Avoid using commerciallyavailable ratchet straps that can exert much higher tensile forces due to lever action.
Product Usage Instructions
To assemble the Top-Rails:
- Place the T-connector around the Cross-Bars, ensuring that the plastic protector is correctly positioned between the sheet metal halves of the T-connector and the pipe.
- Loosely tighten one of the M5x25 screws.
- Continue tightening the remaining screws to securely attach the Top-Rail tube.
Care Instructions
Clean the FS200 Vario Organizer-Set using water. If necessary, mild detergent such as washing-up liquid or soap can be used.
Safety notices
This user manual contains various types of notice. The notices are designed as follows:
Danger
Potential hazards for your health and the health of your co-riders and other road users if you fail to observe the respective instructions or do not take corresponding precautions.
Notice
Provides information about how to handle the product or refers to a passage in the user manual that deserves special attention.
Caution
Warns you about incorrect behaviour that can result in material and environmental damage.
**Separate instructions**
Refers you to other assembly instructions for your FS200 Vario which describe the respective assembly step in more detail if needed.
General information
The FS200 Vario can be fitted with Top-Rails to provide an additional level of security and reinforcement to the frame. The Top-Rails allow goods and loads (even oversized ones) to be securely fastened and transported
Scope of delivery
- Top-Rail tube, 2x
- T-connector (half), 8x
- Plastic pipe protector, 4x
- M5x25 screw, 4x
- M5 (open) sleeve nut, 4x
Intended use
**** The FS200 Vario cargo area is not suitable for transporting passengers in any version.
**** When loading, it is important to ensure that the cargo does not inter- fere with the steering, i.e. that the full swivel angle of the handlebars remains free at all times and that no part of the cargo interferes with the movement of the wheels. The Cross- Bars limit the load space that can be used safely
**** Always ensure that the load is properly secured when transporting objects. The driving characteristics of the FS200 will change depending on the load. Please ensure that the load is evenly distributed. Inadequa- tely secured loads can develop their own momentum, which can lead to unmanageable driving situations. The transport of liquids can also be critical if they can move freely (e.g. open tubs, half-full canisters).
**** Even with oversized loads attached to the Top-Rails, always ensure that the view remains unobstructed.
** The tension on each strap must not exceed 150 N (approx. 15 kg) . Excee- ding this tension may cause damage (= plastic deformation) to the alumi- nium frame. If the load is attached only to the lightweight panel (Fig. 6), the maximum tensile stress is 100 N (approx. 10 kg). Commercially available ratchet straps can exert much higher tensile forces due to the lever acti o** n and should not be used.
Assembly
- The Top-Rails can be mounted in any position within the horizontal area of the Cross-Bars. Ca Go recommends a central placement of two Top-Rails 220 mm apart, i.e. each 110 mm from the imaginary centre line of the vehicle. Alternatively, only one Top-Rail can be fitted centrally.
- First place the T-connector around the Cross-Bars, making sure that the plastic protector (Fig. 3) is correctly positioned between the sheet metal halves of the T-connector and the pipe. Loosely tighten one of the M5x25 screws (fig. 2, item 4) first.
- The Top-Rail can then be pushed into the T-connector (Fig. 4). Tighten the screw to 5–6 Nm
General notes on care
Water is often sufficient to clean the FS200 Vario Organizer Set. If necessary, a mild detergent such as washing-up liquid or soap can be used.
