Do not attempt to install other seating systems in this trailer. It is not designed for car seats, stroller seats,
infant beds, or any other type of seating. Use of any accessories other than the original equipment will void
the warranty, and may result in damage to the trailer or injury to the passenger. Only replacement parts
supplied or recommended by the manufacturer/distributor shall be used.
•
Never take this trailer off-road. It is intended for use on paved road surfaces. Use in any other conditions
may result in damage to the product or injury to the passengers.
Pulling this trailer alters the operation of the bicycle. Stopping, starting, and turning are affected, depending on
the weight of the cargo. To familiarize yourself with the changes, load the trailer to capacity and practice in a
safe area. Do not use your trailer until you have become accustomed to how it affects your bicycle handling.
Further safety strategies include the following:
•
Never assume you will be given the right of way.
•
Do not try to predict the actions of car drivers.
•
Do not travel on highways, busy streets, or in areas unsafe for bicycling.
•
Avoid riding at night. If you must ride at night, use lights and bright, re
fl
ective clothing. Do not ride at night
with children in the trailer. Before use, consult your local authorities to determine appropriate lighting and
safety requirements to conform to traf
fi
c code.
•
To prevent overturning your trailer, do not pull over curbs or holes or hit obstacles in the roadway.
•
Do not turn sharply, because trailer may turn over.
•
Do not travel at high speeds.
•
Do not exceed 25 km/h (15 MPH ), slow for turns and rough road conditions. High speeds adversely affect
your ability to control the bike and notice road irregularities. Braking distances are increased when pulling a
trailer.
•
Never take the trailer off road. It is designed for use on paved roadways. Off road use may result in
damage to trailer or injury to passengers.
The safety of your child is of great concern. The trailer seat is intended for passengers older than 6 months
and able to wear an approved helmet. Your child must be able to hold his head upright. Check with your
pediatrician to make sure your child’s development makes him or her a suitable passenger in the trailer.
Helmets are recommended for all passengers, and may be required by law. Please check national and local
laws regarding trailers and helmet use prior to operation. Make sure that your child is seated securely and the
harness is properly engaged. The child’s sitting height should be below the upper crossbar, and the correct
shoulder strap height must be used.
