NEVER, EVER CARRY PEOPLE
OR ANIMALS!

The BigTow was designed to carry cargo only and is
unsafe if used for any other purpose.

35 p.s.i.

DANGER!

Failure to properly inflate your tires may lead to loss of

control of the bike and serious injury or death!

SECURE THE LOAD!

Proper and secure distribution of your cargo while loading and
operating the trailer is imperative to ensure smooth sailing and a
safe, comfy ride. The weatherproof TowBag attaches to the
BigTow using a very secure system of straps and buckles
designed to keep all your gear moving in the same direction. Take
time to evenly arrange your load and always tie it down.

PROPERLY INFLATE YOUR TIRES!

Proper tire pressure is critical to safe operation of your
bicycle and BigTow. The tire on the BigTow must be inflated to
35 psi. during use. Your bicycle tires must also be properly
inflated, especially the rear tire. Tire pressures are usually
molded into the sidewall of the tire. If you are unsure about
the pressure needed for your tires, check your owner’s
manual or your local bike shop for assistance. So, check them
before every ride. ‘Nuff said?

THERE ARE LIMITS!
