YAK Wheel - 

Monthly, or more often if you ride daily or off

road, inspect your trailer’s wheel. Lift the trailer and spin
the wheel slowly. Check to make certain the wheel does not
wobble side to side. Stop the wheel and check to make sure
all the spokes are tight. The spokes in the wheel have left
and right sides and you will see spokes on the same side
crossing one another. Above the point where the spokes
cross, grab the two spokes and try to squeeze them togeth-
er. The spoke should be tight and resist squeezing.
If the wheel wobbles from side to side or the spokes are
loose the wheel will need to be trued (straightened). This is
a job for a trained bicycle mechanic. It requires special tools
and knowledge.

COZ Axle Nuts -

It is important that your wheel’s axle nuts

remain tight. Please refer to the COZ Wheel Installation
section for proper quick release adjustment and tightening
instructions.

YAK Wheel Quick Release -

It is important that your

wheel’s quick release remains tight. Please refer to the YAK
Wheel Installation section for proper quick release adjust-
ment and tightening instructions.
