Please note:
When the Croozer is used as a trailer behind a bicycle, your safety depends on the coupling being properly fitted. Proceed
therefore with special care. Never cycle with a coupling that is inadequately attached or not secured.
If in doubt ask your specialist dealer!
3.1.1.1 Bicycle with Full Axle
Remove the left hand axle nut. Any
spacers or plain washers can general-
ly be retained. Put the coupling unit on
the axle und reattach the axle nut.
Dismantle the quick release and guide
the quick release axle through the
coupling unit. Push the quick release
through the hollow axle again and
screw on the adjusting nut, tightening it
in a clockwise direction until the contact
surfaces of the quick release are up
against the dropout. Close the quick
release lever.
Please note:
The axle nut must be tightened on the
axle thread by at least 5 full turns, so
that adequate clamping force is
ensured.
A thread which is too short can lead to
accidental loosening of the rear wheel
and could cause a serious accident.
If in doubt ask your specialist dealer!

3.1.1.2 Bicycle with Quick Release Axle
The quick release is properly adjusted
when you can clearly feel resistance as
you tighten. You should feel this resi-
stance about 60° before the end of the
lever movement. If it is too easy or too
difficult to move the quick release lever,
slightly tighten or loosen the Q.R. adju-
sting nut on the other side of the hub.
Please note:
If you do not feel confident when
fitting the quick release for the first
time, please ask your stockist.

For bicycles where the length of the standard quick release is insufficient, a special quick release with longer axle is available.
