Position the roll bar into place until the holes in the side panels and the holes on the ends of roll bar are line up.

Insert the knob from outside of the side panel and then into the thread on the end of the roll bar. Repeat for the other side and fully tighten both knobs.

Attaching the Safety Flag

Insert the flag pole into the flag pocket on the left rear corner of the side panel.

Always use the safety flag. It’s an essential safety device, which can help make you more visible to motorists and other cyclists.

Hitching the Trailer on the Bicycle

NOTE: The universal hitch is only suitable for bicycle with full axle or/and with quick release axle.

1. Bicycles with Full Axle

Remove the left hand axle nut from the bicycle. Any spacers or washers can generally be retained. Put the hitch on the axle and re-attach the nut. WARNING : The axle nut must be tightened on the axle thread by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A thread which is too short can result in accidental loosening of the rear wheel and therefore cause serious injury or death. If in doubt, contact your specialist dealer.

2. Bicycles with Quick Release Axle

Remove the quick release from the bike and guide it through the hitch along with the quick release axle. Push the quick release through the wheel hollow axle again, screw the nut and clamp the quick release with the correct pressure.

In order to ensure that the hub is clamped sufficiently in the hollow axle, the quick release lever must begin gripping as it moves from the open to the middle position, and approaching the closed position you should clearly feel resistance as you tighten. If it is too easy or too difficult to move the quick release lever, tighten or loosen the quick release nut on the other side of the hub.

WARNING : The thread of the quick release nut must be tightened on the quick release axle by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A quick release axle with is too short can result in accidental loosening of the rear wheel and therefore cause serous injury or death. If in doubt, contact your specialist dealer.

Insert the safety pin through holes in both hitch and hitch connectors. Rotate and lock up the pin. Wrap the safety strap around the chain stay and fasten it to the tow bar Dring with the snap hook.

WARNING! Hitch and safety strap must be properly installed. Inspect the hitch and tow bar frequently for any damage or loose fasteners. Damaged or improperly installed can result in serious injury or death.
