Halfords Bike Trailer Owner's Manual page 5

 When fully loaded, the Drawbar load measured at the hitch should be between
3-8kgs. This can be verified by lifting the tow bar of the loaded trailer before
attaching the trailer to the bicycle. Make sure parking brakes are engaged when
loading trailer.
 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
seating system other than the original equipment seat will void the warranty, and
may result in damage to the trailer or injury to the passenger.
 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, reflective
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 traffic 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 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.
