inclement weather makes bicycling unsafe
• Avoid riding on sloped terrain, with wheels perpendicular
to the slope. Doing so will increase the likelihood of the
trailer pping
• Never tow trailer with any motorized vehicle

Use of the trailer without the safety strap aached to the bicycle
may result in serious injury or death. Always aach the safety
strap to the bicycle when using the trailer.
Important! This secon provides instrucons for aaching the
trailer coupler to the bicycle’s REAR WHEEL with a hub nut or quick
release lever. The coupler aaches to most bicycles.
❶ To ensure secure aachment of the coupler to the bicycle, be
sure the thread of the rear axle extends at least 2 mm’s from
the hub nut before proceeding to the next step. Figure 4.1
❷ Using a wrench, remove the hub nut and washer from the
bicycle’s back wheel. Figure 4.2
❸ Place the tab washer on the axle. Fit the tab into the slot on
the bicycle frame dropout. Note: If your bicycle frame doesn’t
have a slot in the drop out, rotate the tab to t into the axle
slot. Figure 4.3
