4.7.3 Transporting children or a load
Before riding on your Moustache when it is loaded or carrying a child in a child seat, you should
always check several points:
• The pannier or child seat should be correctly installed.
• The child should be correctly strapped in according to the recommendations by the
manufacturer of the seat, and wearing a helmet.
• The load should be shared evenly across the bike.
• The bags and load should not be able to slide or move.
• The load should not be greater than the total authorized weight.
• Nothing should be able to become trapped between the spokes in the wheel, nor
obscure the lights and the reflectors.
Your approved Moustache retailer will be able to advise you for the purchase of
an accredited child carrier that is compatible with your Moustache bike.
WARNING!
When you are transporting a child on a child seat, always ensure that the
child is not able to trap his/her fingers or feet in any moving parts of the bike
(wheel, suspension seat post, spring on the saddle). There is risk of serious injury! Do not
leave the child in the child seat when you put the bike on its kick-stand.
4.8 CHAIN TENSION
The chain on your Moustache is kept taut thanks to a chain tensioner situated by your rear
derailleur. This should be checked regularly to ensure it is functioning correctly.
To do this:
• Use your index finger to push the tensioner several centimeters towards the front of the
bike.
• Remove your finger and check that it comes back to its initial position.
If the chain is loose and/or the tensioner does not go back to its initial position, go to your local
approved retailer to have it repaired.
