5. Warranty
The statutory warranty covers defects. Damage resulting from improper use, use of force, lack of maintenance, or normal wear
and tear, is excluded from such a statutory defect warranty.
The period of statutory warranty depends on the law of the country in question.
Our products have components or parts which are also subject to natural wear and tear arising from normal use, depending
very much on the type and degree of use and also how well the product has been serviced and maintained.
In particular where there has been a lot of use (day in day out and in all kinds of weather), individual parts or components
can reach their wear limit before the statutory guarantee period has expired. Just because a product has become prematurely
worn because of use, it does not automatically mean the product is defective.
For your information we have therefore listed in the following table the important parts affected by wear and tear, and have
named typical contributing factors relating to use, which may considerably influence wear limit.
Irrespective of the type and intensity of use as well as the care and maintenance a functional-related wear occurs in the com-
ponents and parts of a bicycle trailer.
Reaching the wear limit very much depends on how well the users have looked after and maintained the product as well as
the particular type and intensity of use such as:
•Mileage in km
•Effect of load
•Type of ride
•Effects of the weather: UV rays, humidity, dirt, temperature, salty air etc.
•Storage
•Level of maintenance
Please look at the following table (‘Wear factors’). You can see from this table which factors particularly affect the wear and
tear on individual parts.
This table complements the existing operation guide – Please do also note the instructions on service, care and storage.
4.3 Fabric Assembly
Clean your CROOZER CARGO using water and a rinse agent. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents as these may per-
manently damage fabrics und surfaces.
4.4 Storage
Store your CROOZER CARGO in a dry and well-ventilated place. Before storing your carrier, it should be dry to prevent the
growth of mould and the formation of marks from mildew. Put your CROOZER CARGO as little as possible in direct sunlight to
prevent colours fading. Do not store the trailer coupled to the bicycle over a long period of time.
4.5 General Maintenance
Look after your trailer. All painted, chrome or galvanised parts (including all screw connectors) should be regularly cleaned and
protected using standard products for this purpose. Ask your specialist dealer about suitable products for protecting your trailer.
