•  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.
