Intended use
The Qeridoo is designed as a bike trailer and equipped with an additional buggy and walker mode.
The Qeridoo is intended exclusively for the private transport of one dog on paved roads and must not be used under competition conditions. Luggage may additionally be carried in the compartments provided, as long as the permissible weight is observed and the luggage is stowed securely with even load distribution. Before using the Qeridoo, check which local regulations apply and how the product may be used.
Not permitted are operation on unpaved terrain, transporting luggage in the box, transporting children, and commercial use. The stated performance limits must be strictly observed and checked before every use. Only fit and use original accessories and spare parts manufactured or recommended by Qeridoo. Using other products, as well as any further manipulation carried out without the manufacturer's express written consent, will void liability in case of accidents and defects.
Improper use
The Qeridoo must not be used for commercial purposes or under competition conditions. A defensive riding style must be ensured at all times. Without a jogger wheel, this product is not suitable for jogging or skating.

Safety and warning instructions
WARNING!
- The safety and accident prevention regulations applicable in your region, as well as legal provisions such as the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), must additionally be observed and, in case of doubt, take precedence. Also inform yourself about country-specific regulations and traffic rules if you plan to take the Qeridoo on travels abroad. Ensure that the Qeridoo is only used by persons who, as defined below, are suitable for its operation. Users must have fully read and understood this user manual.
- Packaging materials must be removed and disposed of in accordance with the environmental guidelines applicable in your region.
- Never leave your animal unattended. The Qeridoo is not a child's toy and must not be misused as such. Accordingly, it is not permitted to attach the Qeridoo to a child's bike.
- This product is not suitable for skating.
- Any loads attached to the handlebar and/or the rear and/or the sides impair the stability of the Qeridoo.
- Always ensure that the parking brake foot lever is engaged when placing the animal in or taking it out.
- Only fit and use original accessories and spare parts manufactured or recommended by Qeridoo. Using other products voids liability.
- For operation of the back light, observe the enclosed information from the manufacturer.
- Signs of wear may occur at the connection point between the bike frame and the coupler. This does not constitute grounds for complaint. Do not use any tool that has previously come into contact with ordinary steel. Even the smallest steel particles could lead to contact corrosion.
DANGER!
- Before every use, make sure that all locks are engaged. Also wrap the safety strap of the tow bar around the tow bar in such a way that, in the ready position, it does not hang down and cannot catch on obstacles.
- Always ensure that the safety strap is attached before you use the Qeridoo in trailer mode. Also make sure that it cannot get into moving parts of the towing bike.
- The Qeridoo must not be used any further after an accident! Even if no damage is visible from the outside, the protective effect may be impaired.
- Before every ride, satisfy yourself that the Qeridoo is in proper and technically perfect condition. Carry out a visual inspection and pay particular attention to the "Am I ready to go?" section.
- Do not use a washer or similar at the connection point between the bike frame and the coupler, as this can impair the stability of the connection.
- Always ensure that the parking brake foot lever audibly engages when it is activated. If it does not fully engage, the wheels are not securely locked and the Qeridoo can roll away.
- Always use both safety leashes in trailer mode. Safety leashes that are too long or loose can become a danger to your dog.
- Make sure that your dog's claws are trimmed and do not have excessively sharp edges, to avoid damage to the trailer from possible scratching.
- During the ride, keep all zippers, hook-and-loop fasteners and buckles closed.
- The roof of the Nacho is not suitable for transporting loads or as a seating surface for children.
- The safety leash is not suitable as a normal leash. Do not use the safety leash to secure your dog outside the trailer.
- When letting your dog out of the trailer, make sure that you have removed the safety leashes and that your dog is secured with your normal leash. Hectic, unsecured jumping out of the trailer can lead to the trailer tipping over and to dangerous situations, especially in traffic.
