2.3 General
- It can be easy to forget you are towing a trailer, so be aware at all times.
- The trailer turns on a tighter radius than the bike, so be careful on corners.
- With a heavy trailer it will take longer to stop.
3.0 Maintenance
3.1 Service and Maintenance
The Atlas does not need a lot of maintenace, but to insure long service and safety, it is advisable to follow these basic tips on a
regular basis:
- Keep the tyres inflated.
- Regularly clean and lightly grease the wheel axles.
- Check for damage on the trailer platform, particularly around the hinges.
- Check for damage on the frame and hitch.
- Make sure the axles are adjusted correctly so that the wheels can not be pulled off (see step 6)
3.2 Adjusting the Q/R axle
The Q/R axles have a degree of length adjustment, so that they engage correctly with the trailer axle, Q/R axles have a degree
of length adjustment. If the Q/R axle is too short the wheel could fall off, if it’s too long it will rattle.

For correct adjustment use a 10mm and 19mm spanner, place the 10mm spanner on the flats of the axle (end furthest from
the button) and the 19mm spanner on the lock nut at the other end. By tightening the lock nut the axle will be shortened and
vice versa. Make the adjustments in small increments checking regularly until you have the correct fit.
