the quick release and frame. Tighten the quick release following the bike manufacturer’s
manual. Hitch can remain on the bike when the trailer is removed (Figure 10).
a. Quick Release Axle
The tension-adjusting nut must engage the threads
for at least five full turns in order to ensure adequate
clamping force for holding the rear wheel securely.
Failure to tighten the tension-adjusting nut fully may
result in accidents with serious injury or death. If the
quick release skewer is too short, it must be
replaced. Consult a professional bicycle mechanic
for the appropriate parts and assistance.
