3. SAFETY GUIDELINES
Think Safety First! Check the working condition of both bicycle and trailer before every use. If you discover
broken components, misalignments, or missing parts, correct the problem prior to use.
Please follow these safety guidelines when using your trailer:
•
This trailer is intended only for transport of children and cargo in the manner as described in the following
pages of the owners' manual. Use of the trailer apart from these guidelines is not recommended, and may
result in injury or damage to the trailer or the bicycle.
•
Inspect the trailer and its parts before and after each use. Proper maintenance of the trailer is essential to
safety.
•
When assembling the trailer, make sure that wheels are correctly and securely installed as described in the
assembly instructions. If you are not familiar with the type of wheels used on this trailer, contact your place
of purchase or a reputable bicycle shop to receive instruction in the correct operation of these devices.
Infl ate tires to 35-40 PSI and check air pressure before each use. Over infl ation may cause the trailer to
bounce or turn over. Use only tires with street tread, and not with BMX or Knobby tread.
•
Be sure that the bicycle used with the trailer is in good working condition, is appropriate in size and type to
pull the cycle trailer, and has good brakes. Refer to the bicycle owners' manual for any advice regarding
use of the bicycle with a trailer. A bicycle shop can help you with the inspection to determine if your bike is
of the correct type to use with the trailer, and with routine maintenance of the cycle and the trailer.
•
The parking device shall be engaged when placing and removing the children.
•
Do not overload the trailer. The load limit for cargo and passengers is 35kg. Position the load as low as
possible and center it within the trailer, (front to rear, and left to right). Any extra gear should be placed
towards the rear. All load should be secured so that it does not shift. IMPORTANT: Instruct children riding
in the trailer not to bounce, rock or lean. Such movements may cause the trailer to lean or fl ip.
•
When fully loaded, the Drawbar load measured at the hitch should be between 3-8kgs. This can be verifi ed
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.
