Safety Guidelines
WARNINGS: Any unintended use is at the risk of the user.
Cross-Country Skiing with Breeze/Cocoon
The Breeze/Cocoon Skiing Kit is designed for cross-country skiing only. It is important to practice skiing without passengers but with a similar load in the trailer before transporting children. Take your first trip on a familiar route.
Using the Breeze/Cocoon Skiing Kit on steep slopes, either going down or upwards, is dangerous even for experienced skiers. Be cautious on icy slopes as the trailer will have less traction. Skiing over surfaces with little snow will reduce mobility and may damage the skis.
Always park the trailer in a flat area as there is no parking brake on the skiing kit. Do not use the trailer as a sled or in combination with a motorized vehicle.
Passenger Safety
Never leave children unattended in the trailer. Regularly check the passengers to ensure their comfort with the temperature and ventilation in the trailer. While the skier may feel hot from the exercise, the children sitting still in the trailer may feel cold. Additionally, provide the children with protection against sunburn, as the windows in the trailer offer minimal shielding.

Mounting the Ski legs to the trailer
After attaching the skis, the trailer can slide. Always assemble on a flat
surface.
- Attach the Socket plate (5a) to the Wing plate (5b) using the M6 bolts, washer and nuts from the package. Be sure to attach them tightly and to have the plates on the correct side.
- Make the rear connection (6) by inserting the Ski leg axle into the Socket of the trailer in the same way as a wheel.
- To make the front connection, rotate the Ski leg until it hooks the front connection in the Socket plate under the Wing. If it does not fit, check if the Socket plate is mounted correctly.

SKIER HARNESS
The Skier harness has belts to go around the waist(1b) and over the shoulders (1a). It has straps (8a) and Velcro section (8b) at the waist that can be adjusted the harness to fit the skier. Preferences on tightness vary between skiers, but always use both shoulders and the waist belt. Once the Ski harness has the right fit, the extra strap length can be stored using the elastic bands (8c). The Tow bars connect to the Skier harness with a strap on the waist belt. Hold the Buckle sideways (8d) and stick it through the Tow bar ring (1c) to hook it. The length of the straps gives the skier room to move or to turn around. Pull the straps (8e) at the front of the waist belt to adjust the tightness of the connection. Practice before you go on a trip. To disconnect the Tow bars, loosen the strap and pull the Buckle sideways back through the ring.
