This document provides essential instructions for the installation and safe operation of the Fiamma Carry-Bike Caravan Active E-Bike. It is intended for use by qualified personnel to ensure compliance with local regulations. Always check for damage before installation and ensure the carrier is securely attached before and after long trips.

The installation process involves mounting the main frame to the caravan and securing the bike rails. Ensure all components are present as listed in the package contents.
