Safety Guidelines
Think Safety First! Check the working condition of both bicycle and trailer before every
use. If you discover broken components, misalignments, or missing parts, corrent 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 fol-
lowing 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 after each use. Proper maintenance of the trailer is essen-
tial to safety.
• When assembling the trailer, make sure that wheels are correctly and securely installed as described
in the assembly instructions. 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 instruction in the correct operation of these
devices. Inflate tires to 35-40 PSI and check air 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.
• Be sure that the bicycle used with the trailer is in good working condition, 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 inspection to determine if
your bike is of the correct type to use with the trailer, and with routine 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. 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 pla-
ced towards the rear. All load should be secured so that it does not shift. IMPORTANT: Instruct children
riding in the trailer not to bounce, rock or lean. Such movements may cause the trailer to lean or flip.
• When fully loaded, the Drawbar load measured at the hitch should be between 3-8kgs. This can be
verified by lifting the tow bar of the loaded trailer before attaching the trailer to the bicycle. Make sure
parking brakes are engaged when loading trailer.
• Do not attempt to install other seating systems in this trailer. It is not designed for car seats, stroller
seats, infant beds, or any other type of seating. 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 replace-
ment 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 con-
ditions may result in damage to the product or injury to the passengers.
Pulling this trailer alters the operation of the bicycle. Stopping, starting, and turning are aected, depen-
ding 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 aects your
bicycle handling. Further safety strategies include the following:
