Step 1.  Remove the Atlas from its bag and lay it on its side. This should be the side that has the the Q/R buttons for the axles 

protruding from it.

Step 2.  Lightly press on the lower section of the trailer, i.e. the side that is nearest the floor, this will depress the Q/R buttons 

on the axles allowing you to unfold the top section of the trailer.

Step 3. You can now remove the frame parts and the wheels. Lay these to one side so that the underside of the trailer platform 

is left fully exposed. Then place the cross member into the position shown in the pic 4. with the U channel at the end facing 

up.

Step 4. Lay axle in place (NOTE the axle should be orientated so that the end with the single reinforcement plate should fit in 

the U of the cross member, with the re enforcement plate facing out of the U).

Step 5. Now screw the thumbwheels through the frame into the trailer platform, making sure the holes in the frame are 

aligned to the holes in the trailer platform. (IMPORTANT make sure the thumbwheels are done up tightly, these should be 

checked regularly)

Step 6. Install the Q/R axles in the wheels and fit the wheels to the trailer axle, making sure the wheels have secured properly 

by pulling on them. If the wheels can be pulled off,  then the Q/ R axles will need adjusting (see section 3.2 Adjusting Q/R 

axles).

Step 7. Push the trailer hitch arm into the locating tube and fit the safety pin, orientate the safety pin in such a way that it does 

not restrict turning the hitch to the correct angle for the bike to which it is to be attached (see Pic 8).

Step 8. Hitch Up! See section 1.3 Fitting hitch to bike, and adjust angle of hitch arm so that the trailer platform is roughly level 

and then re tighten the Q/R to lock it in place.
