1. SAFE TOWING GUIDELINES
All of the employees at BUSHTEC wish to thank you for your purchase of the finest
touring cargo trailer made in the world. Please take a few moments to review the
contents of your owner’s manual to insure thousands of trouble-free miles of use.
Remember that this is only a guide and should be supplemented with your own regard for
safe operation.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO PERFORM WHEEL BEARING SERVICE AS
DESCRIBED HEREIN MAY CAUSE THE TRAILER TO TRACK UNDESIRABLY
AND WILL VOID WARRANTY!!!
WARNING: TOWING A TRAILER BEHIND A MOTORCYCLE INCREASES THE
LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY OR DEATH TO BOTH OPERATOR AND PASSENGER
DUE TO INCREASED RISK AND EXPOSURE. FAILURE TO OBSERVE AND
FOLLOW;
(A) ALL RULES OF THE ROAD AND LAWS OF THE LAND,
(B) MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS TRAILER,
(C) POSTED SPEED AND ROAD CONDITION WARNINGS,
(D) SAFE RIDING PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES,
WILL FURTHER INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO OPERATOR
AND PASSENGER.
We are aware of no current state or federal guidelines for pulling a trailer with a
motorcycle. We suggest when pulling and loading a trailer that you do not exceed the
manufacturers Gross Vehicle Weight limits.
When pulling a trailer with a motorcycle, extra distance must be allowed for stopping.
When cornering, use slower speeds and a wider angle of attack.
Use extra caution at all times, particularly if the road surface is wet or slippery.
Splitting lanes with a trailer is HIGHLY discouraged and is ILLEGAL in many states.
Behind most touring motorcycles, your mirrors are wider than your BUSHTEC trailer.
BUSHTEC supports the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. If you have never taken a
course, BUSHTEC highly recommends it! Contact the MSF office nearest you.
