Follow these safety guidelines for safe and effective performance.
• Inspect the trailer and its parts before and after each use. Proper care and maintenance of
the trailer are essential to safety.
• When assembling the trailer, make sure that the wheels are correctly and securely installed
as described in the assembly instructions. Inflate the tires to the desired pressure and check
the pressure before each use. Over-inflation may cause the trailer to bounce or turn over.
Use only tires with street tread and not with BMX or knobby tread.
• Attach the hitch connector securely to the bicycle frame. The connector should be tightened
and the safety strap wrapped around the stay or frame and the hook snapped into the D-
ring.
• The person riding the towing bicycle should be at least 18 years of age and in good
physical condition.
•
• Be sure that the bicycle used with the trailer is in good working condition and has good
brakes. A bicycle shop can help you with inspection and maintenance. Please have your
bicycle inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic for compatibility.
• Riding at dusk or dawn with this trailer is not recommended. A reflector that complies with
CPSC regulations must be mounted and visible on the rear and sides of the trailer.
• Do not overload the trailer. The load limit for cargo and/or passengers is 70 lbs (31 kgs).
Position the load as low as possible and center it within the trailer (front to rear and left to
right). Any extra gear should be placed towards the rear. All loads should be secured so
that it does not shift.
• Use extra caution when turning on uneven pavement, and going downhill.
• Do not ride over curbs. Avoid bumps and holes. Always signal your turns.
• Do not travel on the highways, busy streets or in areas unsafe for bicycling.
• Do not use trailer in snow or icy conditions.
• Do not travel or descend at high speeds.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow children or pets to ride in the trailer. Do not attempt to install seating
systems in the trailer. It is not designed for car seats, stroller seats, infant beds, or any other
type of seating. Any modification of the trailer will void the warranty, and may result in dam-
age to the trailer or injury of the passengers.
Pulling this trailer affects the operation of the bicycle. Stopping, starting and turning are affect-
ed, depending on the weight of the cargo. To familiarize yourself with the changes, load the
trailer to capacity and practice in a safe area. Do not use your trailer until you have become
accustomed to how it affects your bicycle handling.
SUFFOCATION WARNING: Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation,
keep plastic bags away from babies and children.
