Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket
Care & Use Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Solvit Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket. The carton should contain: the main basket section;
two side panels; one padded bottom panel, one sewn-in safety leash, one shoulder strap, one removable sunshade and a
mounting bracket assembly.
Assembly of the basket: The front and back interior
hard panels are pre-installed in the basket. Install the
side panels and bottom panel as follows:
1) Lift the four padded flaps to make it easier to insert
the side panels into the basket.
2) Insert one side panel with one edge fitted snugly in
the corner of the basket, with the hook tape strip at the
top of the panel and facing to the inside
(figure A).
3) Push the panel so it fits flat along the side of the
basket and is snug in both corners. Repeat with the
other side panel. When both side panels are inserted
correctly, the basket should resemble figure B. The side panels
are designed to fit tightly – be sure to push firmly into the corners
and against the sides of the basket.
4) Insert the padded bottom panel, pad side up, into the bottom
of the basket. The small “pull tab” on the edge of the panel
should face the front. Again, this is intended to be a tight fit
when in the correct position. Hold the safety leash when
inserting the bottom panel so that it will be accessible after the
bottom panel is inserted. When the bottom and side panels are
firmly pushed in place, the basket should resemble figure C.
5) Pull the four padded fabric panels along the top into place
matching the loop tape on each padded section to the hook tape
on the inside walls of the basket, as in figure D.
Assembly and installation of the mounting bracket: (Use Figures E, F, and G for reference). A Phillips screwdriver is
required for assembly. The mounting system consists of one left and one right UPPER handlebar mount (marked L & R); two
LOWER handlebar mount pieces, four long screws, four short screws (use only one set of screws depending on your handlebar
size) and four nuts for fastening the handlebar mounts; one adjustable bottom strut with nut and bolt; and one wire bracket.
1) The
UPPER and LOWER handlebar mounts are fastened
together in the package – begin by
removing the nuts and screws and
separating the pieces (fig E).
2) The UPPER handlebar mounts
must be snapped on to the steel
wire bracket. First, insert the bent
section of the “L” side of the
bracket into the short channel at
the top of the “L” UPPER
handlebar mount and slide into the
hole at the end of the short
channel. Rotate the mount down
90 degrees until the wire stem
snaps into the channel on the side
of the mount. You will hear and
feel a definite “snap” when this
