• Only use replacement parts supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do NOT use it with a total load that exceeds the weight limits. If recommended load is exceeded, the unit may become unstable.
• DO NOT make modifications to the product.
• DO NOT over-inflate the tires. Failure to comply with the rated tire sidewall pressure may lead to explosion of the tire and possible injury.
• It is recommended that a qualified bicycle mechanic does a safety check of the towing bicycle before attaching the trailer.
• Before each ride, be sure the trailer does not interfere with braking, pedaling or steering of the bicycle.
• Always comply with local regulations when using the trailer on public roadways.
• Never ride a bicycle at night without adequate lighting.
• Obey all local legal requirements for lighting.
• If you need to come to a stop for any reason, such as to make adjustments or to address a flat tire, be sure to pull off the road completely.
• When using your trailer, you are towing extra weight and a bigger vehicle. You must allow more time for braking, slowing, stopping and starting, and allow more room for turns and passageways. Experiment with the loaded trailer in an uncongested area until you become familiar with how your bike handles towing a trailer.
• Avoid rocks, curbs, hard braking and sudden swerving. Avoid riding over obstacles with one wheel, as this may cause the trailer to tip over.
• Always ride with the cover down to secure the cargo.
• The rider of the bicycle must be at least 16 years old.
• Recommended speed limits: – 16 km/h (10 mph.) on smooth, straight roads – 8 km/h (5 mph.) when turning or on uneven roads .
• Trailer weight must be properly distributed for safe handling. The weight on the hitch connector should be between 30 N (≈3 kg / 6.6 lbs.) and 80 N (≈8 kg / 17.6 lbs.). To measure this, load your trailer and place it next to bathroom scale. Step on scale and make a note of your weight. Standing on scale, lift up the end of the tow bar one foot (approximately 25cm) off the ground. The weight shown should be 6.6 17.6 lbs. more than your own weight. If the weight is too low, the rear wheel of the bicycle could lose traction. If it is too high the hitch may be overloaded.
