1 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE MANUFACTURER S INSTRUCTIONS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OF THE PASSGER/RIDER! Installation instructions for the Yepp Mini The Yepp Mini is suitable for carrying children up to a maximum weight of 33 lbs / 15 kg including child, pack and contents (about 3 years old). The Yepp Mini can be attached to steel handlebar stems from inches / 20-28mm / in diameter using the fittings supplied. Installation The Yepp mini must always be installed on the bicycle facing forward. Assemble the seat as shown in (pic.1). Tighten both hexagon screws firmly tight (torque 4Nm) Attach the handlebar stem fitting to the handlebar as shown in (pic.3). Tighten both Hexagon screws firmly tight ( tightening torque 8 Nm). If you have a Ahead type handlebar system, you can use our special Ahead adapter (art ). The Yepp Mini is attached in two stages. Press the red button on the bottom and pull simultaneously the grey handle to the rear (pic.4a). Position the seat over the lip on the clamp. Release the slide and push the seat straight down until it clicks into place (pic.4b). This means that the seat is secured automatically. Check this by pulling the seat upwards. If it s secured properly, you will not be able to pull it out. For additional security, always lock the seat (pic.4a). Make a note of the key number so you can get a replacement if the original key is lost. To release the seat, perform the above actions in reverse order (pic.8a+b). Place your child in the seat and position the footrests to the correct height (pic.6). Connect the straps once the footrests are in the correct position. Close the 5-point harness and adjust it to the correct length (pic.7). To open the harness: press both halves of the clip in and push both sides at the same time. Additional stem adapters are available for attaching the seat on a second bicycle. Warnings and Safety advices Always ensure that the harness is fastened snugly around the child. Never modify the child seat in any way. Check after assembling if all fasteners are tightened properly and everything functions correct. Use the Yepp Mini only on a bicycle that is in good working order, which is suitable for carrying the additional load and of a proper size/ adjustment for the rider. Check the original owner s manual you received with bicycle or contact the bicycle manufacturer / distributor to obtain this information. Caution: The Yepp Mini can only be attached to steel handlebar stems from inches / 20-28mm in diameter using the fitting clamp supplied. For special Ahead handlebar systems a special adapter is available. (art ) GMGINT007 version

2 Always remove the child seat from the bicycle when the bicycle is being transported on a motor vehicle. Air turbulence on the child seat can damage the child seat, which could cause a dangerous situation. Do not use the seat if any part of it appears damaged. Have any damaged parts replaced by your dealer. Never leave your child in the child seat unattended or with the bicycle supported only by the kickstand. Caution: Note that cycling with a child in a child seat will lessen the stability and alter the way the bicycle handles move. Particularly regarding steering / braking and how the rider mounts/dismounts the bicycle. Take a test ride without a child in the child seat (put some weight in the seat to simulate the child s weight) to ensure that everything is installed properly and that the seat does not hinder your ability to operate the bicycle safely. Make sure that the Yepp Mini is always firmly secured by turning the integrated lock to the locked position (pic.8). It is both a safety precaution and prevents possible theft of the Yepp Mini. Make a note of the key number so you can get a replacement if the original key is lost. Before each ride, ensure that the child seat does not interfere with braking, pedaling, or steering of the bicycle. Never ride at the bicycle at night without adequate lighting. Caution: Steering movement may be restricted with a child seat attached to the handlebars. You will need to install different handlebars if the steering movement is less than 45 degrees to each side. Always fasten the harness, even if you are not carrying a child in the seat, so that it does not hang loose. Always use the foot support straps. Caution: Ensure that both the rider and the child are wearing approved and properly-fitting helmets. Caution: Do not ride in inclement or hazardous conditions, including temperatures below freezing that could cause the child to suffer frostbite. Never carry bags or other luggage in the child seat. Additionally, additional luggage and accessories should not be attached to the child seat, as they may exceed the 33 lbs / 15 kg load limit and may lessen stability. Use a sturdy (two-legged) kickstand on your bicycle. Caution: Only children who are able to hold their head upright while wearing a bicycle helmet (approximately one year old) should be passengers in a child seat. Additionally, do not carry a child who is too young to sit comfortably and independently in the child seat. Never carry two children in one seat. The Yepp Mini should not be used on a moped or a scooter. The use on E-bikes is allowed. The Yepp Mini is not suitable for use on lightweight (e.g. carbon) frames, always consult your dealer or the manufacturer. The Yepp Mini is designed for average daily use. It is not meant to be used on extreme circumstances such as off-road or ATB-courses. Check that the child seat has not become too hot in the sun before putting a child in it. Never lift the Yepp Mini with a child in it. Check initially, and then regularly thereafter, that your child s weight does not exceed 33 lbs / 15 kg. For bigger children, GMG offers the Yepp Maxi and the Yepp Junior. Caution: Check frequently that all fittings are sufficiently tight. Any damaged or broken parts must be replaced immediately. Consult your dealer. Check that using the Yepp Mini is permitted by law in the state in which you intend to use it. If allowed, the minimum age for a rider to carry a child in a Yepp Mini child seat may vary from state to state. Installation instructions for the Yepp Mini

3 Do not allow any of the child s body, clothing, shoe laces, or toys to come in contact with moving parts of the bicycle.
