INFORMATION ABOUT THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM
DRAWBAR LOAD AND HOW TO CHECK IT
Trailer weight must be properly distributed for safe handling. The downward force at the end of the tow bar,where it meets
the bike should be between 2lbs and 20lbs. To measure this, load your trailer and place next to bathroom scale. Step on
scale and note your weight. While on scale, li up the end of the towbar, 1 foot o the ground and note weight again. The
weight dierence is the downwards force on the towbar. If the weight is too low, the rear wheel of the bicycle could lose
tracon. If it is too high the hitch may overload.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Think Safety First! Check the working condion of both bicycle and trailer before every use. If you discover broken
components, misalignments, or missing parts, correct the problem prior to use.
Please follow these safety guidelines when using your trailer:
• This trailer is intended only for transport of children and cargo in the manner as described in the following pages of the
owners’ manual. Use of the trailer apart from these guidelines is not recommended, and may result in injury or damage to
the trailer or the bicycle.
• Inspect the trailer and its parts before and aer each use. Proper maintenance of the trailer is essenal to safety.
• When assembling the trailer, make sure that wheels are correctly and securely installed as described in the assembly
instrucons. If you are not familiar with the type of wheels used on this trailer, contact your place of purchase or a
reputable bicycle shop to receive instrucon in the correct operaon of these devices. Inate res to 35-40 PSI and check
air pressure before each use. Over inaon may cause the trailer to bounce or turn over. Use only res with street tread,
and not with BMX or Knobby tread.
• Be sure that the bicycle used with the trailer is in good working condion, is appropriate in size and type to pull the cycle
trailer, and has good brakes. Refer to the bicycle owners’ manual for any advice regarding use of the bicycle with a trailer.
A bicycle shop can help you with the inspecon to determine if your bike is of the correct type to use with the trailer, and
with roune maintenance of the cycle and the trailer.
• The parking device shall be engaged when placing and removing the children.
• Do not overload the trailer. The load limit for cargo and passengers is 30kg. Posion the load as low as possible and
center it within the trailer, (front to rear, and le to right). Any extra gear should be placed towards the rear. All load should
be secured so that it does not shi. IMPORTANT: Instruct children riding in the trailer not to bounce, rock or lean. Such
movements may cause the trailer to lean or ip.
• When fully loaded, the Drawbar load measured at the hitch should be between 3-8kgs. This can be veried by liing
the tow bar of the loaded trailer before aaching the trailer to the bicycle. Make sure parking brakes are engaged when
loading trailer.
• Do not aempt to install other seang systems in this trailer. It is not designed for car seats, stroller seats, infant beds, or
any other type of seang. Use of any accessories other than the original equipment will void the warranty, and may result
in damage to the trailer or injury to the passenger. Only replacement parts supplied or recommended by the manufacturer/
distributor shall be used.
• Never take this trailer o-road. It is intended for use on paved road surfaces. Use in any other condions may result in
damage to the product or injury to the passengers.
Pulling this trailer alters the operaon of the bicycle. Stopping, starng, and turning are aected, depending on the weight
of the cargo. To familiarize yourself with the changes, load the trailer to capacity and pracce in a safe area. Do not use
your trailer unl you have become accustomed to how it aects your bicycle handling. Further safety strategies include the
following:
• Never assume you will be given the right of way.
• Do not try to predict the acons of car drivers.
• Do not travel on highways, busy streets, or in areas unsafe for bicycling.
• Avoid riding at night. If you must ride at night, use lights and bright, reecve clothing. Do not ride at night with children
in the trailer. Before use, consult your local authories to determine appropriate lighng and safety requirements to
conform to trac code.

• To prevent overturning your trailer, do not pull over curbs or holes or hit obstacles in the roadway.
• Do not turn sharply, because trailer may turn over.
• Do not travel at high speeds.
• Do not exceed 15 MPH, slow for turns and rough road condions. High speeds adversely aect your ability to control the
bike and noce road irregularies. Braking distances are increased when pulling a trailer.
• Never take the trailer o road. It is designed for use on paved roadways. O road use may result in damage to trailer or
injury to passengers.
The safety of your child is of great concern. The trailer seat is intended for passengers older than 12 months and able to
wear an approved helmet. Your child must be able to hold his head upright. Check with your pediatrician to make sure your
child’s development makes him or her a suitable passenger in the trailer. Helmets are recommended for all passengers, and
may be required by law. Please check naonal and local laws regarding trailers and helmet use prior to operaon. Make
sure that your child is seated securely and the harness is properly engaged. The child’s sing height should be below the
upper crossbar, and the correct shoulder strap height must be used. Refer to the instrucons to adjust. The four-season
cover must be ed when children are in the trailer. This protects the child from road debris.
Refer to the instrucons to adjust. The four-season cover must be ed when children are in the trailer. This protects the

(marked R and L), and are connected by a spring pin located
in the rear half of the window frame tubes. To assemble,
slide the fabric sleeve forward to access the end of the
frame tube (Fig. 1). Next, slide the back half of the tube into
the end of the frame tube (Fig. 2). Depress spring pin (Fig.
3), and push tubes together to allow the spring pin to lock in

for the frame to lock. Frame must be properly assembled
with quick release connector closed and snapped shut. If
QR connector is not fully engaged, frame may collapse,
causing damage or injury. Do not use if QR connector is
missing components, or if the closure is damaged or missing.
IMPORTANT: The spring-release pins must be engaged for safe operaon of the trailer. Failure to assemble properly may
result in frame collapse, resulng in damage to the trailer and injury to the user.. If the spring-release pins do not engage
properly, DO NOT USE. Call the customer service number as indicated in the aached literature for assembly assistance.
