Put three drops of oil on both sides of the
axle at each bearing.
Lubrication
WARNING:
• Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the trailer, it may damage the material.
• Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheel rims and the tires.
• Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you use the Trailer.
• Using a light machine oil (20W), lubricate the Trailer according to the following
table:
Tires
Maintenance:
• Frequently check the tire infl ation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over
time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the Trailer off the tires.
• Do not use unregulated air hoses to infl ate the inner tubes. An unregulated hose
can suddenly over infl ate tires and cause them to burst.
• Replace worn tires.
Inspection of the Bearings
Maintenance
Frequently check the Trailer Wheel bearings. Lubricate the bearings every 12 months
or any time they do not pass the following tests:
Wheel Bearings
Lift each end of the Trailer off the ground and slowly spin the raised wheel by hand.
The bearings are correctly adjusted if:
• The wheel spins freely and easily.
• The weight of the spoke refl ector (if installed), when you put it toward the front or
rear of the Trailer, causes the wheel to spin back and forth several times.
• There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side
with light force.
Note:
Have a bicycle service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do
not have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instruc-
tions” are not suffi cient for you.
