Thule Chariot All-Terrain Kit

Step 1: Attach Frame Arms

This step involves attaching the two main frame arms to the front of the Thule Chariot.

1A: Preparation

Diagram shows the front section of the Thule Chariot carrier.

1B: Attaching the First Arm

Take one of the attachment arms and align it with the corresponding mounting point on the chariot frame. Push the arm firmly into place until it clicks. A "click" sound indicates successful engagement.

Diagram shows an arrow pointing an arm towards the chariot mount, with 'click' indicated.

1C: Verifying Connection

Ensure the arm is fully seated. A green checkmark (✔️) indicates a correct, secure connection. A red cross (❌) indicates an improper connection.

Close-up diagrams show correct (✔️) and incorrect (❌) seating of the attachment arm.

1D: Attaching the Second Arm

Repeat the process for the second attachment arm on the other side of the chariot.

Diagram shows an arrow pointing the second arm towards its mounting point.

Step 2: Assemble Quick-Release Skewer

This step details the assembly of the quick-release skewer used for the all-terrain wheel.

2A: Skewer Components

The quick-release skewer consists of a threaded rod, two springs, and a lever mechanism.

Diagram shows the individual parts of the quick-release skewer.

2B: Inserting the Skewer

Insert the threaded rod, with springs positioned correctly, through the hub of the all-terrain wheel.

Diagram shows the skewer rod being inserted through the wheel hub.

2C: Spring Placement

Ensure the springs are correctly oriented on either side of the hub.

Close-up diagram shows the spring and rod positioned within the wheel hub.

2D: Securing the Skewer

Close the quick-release lever to tighten the skewer, securing it within the wheel hub.

Diagram shows the lever being rotated to tighten the skewer.

Step 3: Attach All-Terrain Wheel

This step describes how to attach the all-terrain wheel to the chariot.

3A: Mounting the Wheel

Align the hub of the all-terrain wheel with the mounting point on the front of the chariot (or the attachment arm, depending on the specific Chariot model). Insert the quick-release skewer through the fork.

3B: Tightening the Skewer

Rotate the quick-release lever to tighten the skewer, ensuring the wheel is securely fastened.

Close-up diagram shows the quick-release lever being rotated to tighten.

3C: Final Check

Ensure the lever is fully closed and the wheel is firmly attached.

Diagram shows the quick-release lever in the closed, secure position.

Step 4: Secure Kit to Frame

This step ensures the entire all-terrain kit is securely attached to the chariot.

4A: Verifying Attachment Points

Check the connection points where the frame arms attach to the chariot. Ensure they are fully engaged, similar to Step 1C.

Diagrams show correct (✔️) and incorrect (❌) engagement of attachment points.

4B: Securing Mechanisms

Some models may have additional securing mechanisms, such as bolts or straps, to further secure the kit. Follow the diagrams to tighten any such fasteners.

Diagrams show top-down views of the chariot with arrows indicating where to secure the kit.
