THINK SAFETY FIRST! Check the working conditions of both bike and trailer before each use. If
you discover broken components, misalignments or missing parts, correct the problem prior to use.

necessary to safely control the bike-trailer combination. Follow these safety guidelines for safe and
effective performance.
• Inspect the trailer and its parts before and after each use. Proper care and maintenance of
the trailer are essential to safety.
• When assembling the trailer, make sure that the wheels are correctly and securely installed
as described in the assembly instructions. Inflate the tires to the desired pressure and check the
pressure before each use. Over-inflation may cause the trailer to bounce or turn over. Use only tires

the towing bicycle with rear-view mirrors. Riding at dusk or dawn with this trailer is not recommended.

original equipment seat will void the warranty, and may result in damage to the trailer or injury of the
passengers.

affected, depending on the weight of the cargo. To familiarize yourself with the changes, load
