Once you’ve done the initial assembly and read the safety guidelines, you’re ready to go! Before trailering, be sure you have the tow bar, trailer wheels and hitch securely attached.

Note: Any reference to left or right is made in direction of travel, as if you were standing behind the trailer, looking forward.

Safety Guidelines

WARNING

BICYCLING WITH A TRAILER, AND BICYCLING IN GENERAL, CAN BE HAZARDOUS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE SAFETY GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

1.Inspect and maintain your bicycle and trailer regularly. See “Safety Checklists”.

2.Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer is heavier and less responsive. Avoid sudden swerving, rocks and curbs. Experiment with the loaded trailer in an uncongested area until you become familiar with it.

3.The total weight limit for the trailer and cargo is 100 lbs (40 kg in Europe). Load cargo securely in the center, forward of the axle and as low as possible.

4.Observe recommended speed limits: a maximum of 15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads and 5 mph (8 km/h) or less when turning or on uneven roads.

5.Never pull your trailer with a motorized vehicle.

6.The cyclist must wear a helmet.
