Safety Instructions

Congratulations on purchasing the Hamax bicycle child seat. You now have a comfortable and safe child seat that can be adjusted to fit your child as she/he grows. Please read the instructions carefully before assembling or using the child seat and keep these in a safe place as they will be useful if you later buy extra equipment for your child’s seat.

Important!

MOUNTING

• Can be mounted on bicycles with frame tube diameters from 28-40 mm.
• Cannot be mounted on bicycles with oval or square down tubes.
• Cannot be mounted where the luggage carrieris wider than 175 mm. (Note that the luggage carrier can be removed before fitting the child seat.)
• Cannot be mounted on cycles fitted with shock absorbers.
• Can be fitted to bikes with and without a luggage carrier. If you are in any doubt that the seat will fit, we recommend you seek information from the bicycle’s supplier.
• The seat must only be mounted on a bicycle which is suitable for this kind of load. Please ask your bicycle supplier for detailed advice.
• Make sure the bracket screws are well-tightened and checked at regular intervals.
• The child seat is fitted on the frame tube of the bike with the bracket (6). The screws must be tightened hard enough (min. 8 Nm)to fix the seat securely and prevent it from sliding.
• Make it a rule to check this before starting a trip with the bike.
• For optimal comfort and safety of the child, ensure that the seat does not slope forward so that the child does not tend to slide out of it. It is recommended to install the seat in a way that the backrest is sloped backward slightly.
• Install the seat as close to the saddle as possible.
• Check all parts of the bike that they function correctly with the bicycle seat mounted.
• The suspension will cause the seat to move up and down as much as 12 cm during the ride.
• Mount the seat high enough, so that it does not touch any part of the bicycle when you test it by forcing the seat to flex 12 cm down.

USE

• Check whether there are any laws or regulations specific to the carrying of children in seats attached to cycles that apply in the country in which the seat is used.
• The child seat is approved for children from about 9 months to 6 years or a maximum of 22 kg weight. Ensure that you re-check from time to time that the child’s weight and size do not exceed the maximum capacity of the seat.
• Do not carry a child that is too young to sit safely in the seat as regards the minimum age of the child. Carry only children that can sit unaided for a longer period, at least as long as the intended bicycle journey.
• Ensure that it is not possible for any part of the child’s body or clothing to come into contact with any moving part of the seat or cycle and to re-check as the child grows, due to the danger of entrapment of feet in the wheel and of the fingers in brake mechanisms and sprung saddles. The child seat gives good side and feet protection. However, you are recommended to buy and fit a closed-wheel guard/chain guard. You can buy this at your bicycle dealer.
• Check there are no sharp objects, such as split wires, on the bicycle that can harm the child.
• Ensure that the restraint system is not loose oracle to become trapped in any moving parts particularly the wheels, including when the cycle is ridden without a child in the seat.
• Always use the safety belt/restraint system, ensuring the child is restrained in the seat.
• A child sitting in a child seat should be dressed more warmly than the rider.
• The child should be protected against rain with suitable waterproof garments.
• Remember to put the child’s helmet on that complies with EN 1078:2012+Al:2012 before starting your bicycle trip.
• When riding for the first time with the seat fitted, test cycle a safe/quiet environment before riding on the highway.
• Cover any exposed rear saddle springs.
• When transporting the bicycle by car (outside the car) remove the seat. Air turbulence might damage the seat or loosen its fastenings to the cycle, which could result in an accident.
• When passing through rough terrain, over curbs, speed bumps, stairs, etc., the child’s seat is exposed to extreme forces. Brake to a slow walking speed in such situations.

WARNINGS

• Do not attach additional luggage to the child’s seat. We recommend that extra luggage is attached to the front of the bicycle.
• Do not modify the seat.
• The cycle could behave differently with a child in the seat. Particularly about balance, steering, and braking.
• Never leave the cycle parked with a child in the seat unattended.
• For any form of crack or if the surface starts to deconstruct, this indicates that the life of the seat has been reached and it should be replaced. A professional shall be contacted in case of doubt.
• Always check the surface temperature of the seat before any use.
• Always ensure that the head of your child is supported in a reclined position.
• This child seat is not suitable for use during sporting activities.

MAINTENANCE

• When cleaning the seat, use only lukewarm soapy water.
• If the seat has been involved in an accident, is damaged, has fallen to the ground, or if the bicycle has fallen with the seat attached, contact your dealer to check that it can still be used.
• Damaged parts must always be replaced. Contact your dealer if you are not sure how to fit the new parts.
• We wish you and your child many enjoyable bicycle trips with your Hamax child seat!
