Thanks for buying a Surly trailer. We took care in designing your trailer to work with many
different kinds of bikes, to haul a lot, and to last a long time. But it won't do all these things
to its full potential if it isn't properly assembled. read these instructions and gather
tools and supplies before attempting the assembly of your surly trailer. Improper
assembly will limit its life expectancy and may result in personal injury or death. If you
lack appropriate tools and/or mechanical aptitude, take the trailer to your local bike shop
and get served.
Oh, one more thing: this trailer was not designed for carrying live animals or people. Doing
so may result in injury to you and/or your passengers, and that would make us feel bad.
WHaT you's need
• Metric hex keys
• 14mm and 15mm open-end wrench or adjustable wrench
• Tire pump
• Grease
