Do read instructions before driving. Failure to comply with the instructions
and warnings in this manual could result in serious injury or death.
• Consult veterinarian to ensure it is safe for your pet to ride in a trailer.
• Make sure pet cannot make contact with the wheel spokes.
• Check comfort and safety of pet frequently, especially during hot or cold weather.
• Never leave pet unattended and always hold the trailer/stroller from tipping backward
when dog is entering or leaving the trailer.
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE OF TRAILER
2. SAFETY GUIDELINES
2
• DO NOT use with a total load that exceeds 45 kg/100 LB
• Never use pet trailer for transporting child or cargo.
• DO NOT make any modifications to the product.
• DO NOT over-inflate the tires. Failure to comply with the rated pressure on the tire sidewall
may lead to explosion of the tire and possible injury.
• Before each ride, be sure the trailer does not interfere with braking, pedaling or steering of
the bicycle.
• Always comply with local regulations when using the trailer on public roadways.
• Obey all local legal requirements for lighting.
• When using your trailer, you are towing extra weight and a bigger vehicle. You must allow
more time for braking, slowing, stopping and starting, and allow more room for turns and
passageways. Experiment with the loaded trailer in an uncongested area until you become
familiar with how your bike handles towing a trailer.
• Avoid rocks, curbs, hard braking and sudden swerving. Avoid riding over obstacles with one
wheel, as this may cause the trailer to tip over.
• Always ride with the front and rear door fully closed to protect pet from flying debris and
prevent pet from jumping from the trailer
• The rider of the bicycle must be at least 16 years old.
• Recommended speed limits: - 10 mph on smooth, straight roads – 5 mph when turning or
on uneven roads.
• Trailer weight must be properly distributed for safe handling. The weight on the hitch
connector should be between 4.4 and 22 lbs. To measure this, load your trailer and place
next to bathroom scale. Step on scale and make a note of your weight. Standing on scale,
lift up the end of the tow bar one foot (approximately 25cm) off the ground. The weight
shown should be 4.4 and 22 lbs. more than your own weight. If the weight is too low, the
rear wheel of the bicycle could lose traction. If it is too high the hitch may be overloaded.

WARNING
!
Never overload the trailer and never ride with a tow bar load that is outside the
specified range of 4.4 to 22 lbs. Always distribute the load evenly. Failure to do so
could result in accidents with serious injury or death. Tip: Make sure that your
dog is positioned with its center of gravity as close as possible to the wheel axle.
This is the best way to ride with an optimal weight distribution.

manual. Hitch can remain on the bike when the trailer is removed (Figure 10).
a. Quick Release Axle
The tension-adjusting nut must engage the threads
for at least five full turns in order to ensure adequate
clamping force for holding the rear wheel securely.
Failure to tighten the tension-adjusting nut fully may
result in accidents with serious injury or death. If the
quick release skewer is too short, it must be
replaced. Consult a professional bicycle mechanic
for the appropriate parts and assistance.
