13 CAUTIONARY TOWING TIPS
• Stop trailer use immediately on poor road conditions, in severe weather or in any other dangerous environments.
• Ensure the trailer is completely disengaged from bicycle when not in use.
• Always store tow bar in a clean dry place.
• Before and after each use, inspect tow bar and discontinue use should it malfunction or become damaged.
• Not for use at high speeds. DO NOT exceed 10 MPH (16 km/h).
