2. SAFETY GUIDELINES

!

WARNING

Do read instructions before driving. Failure to comply with the instructions and warnings in this manual could result in serious injury or death.

• Consult veterinarian to ensure it is safe for your pet to ride in a trailer.

• Make sure pet cannot make contact with the wheel spokes.

• Check comfort and safety of pet frequently, especially during hot or cold weather.

• Never leave pet unattended and always hold the trailer/stroller from tipping backward when dog is entering or leaving the trailer.

• DO NOT use with a total load that exceeds 22 kg/ 50 lbs.

• Never use pet trailer for transporting child or cargo.

• DO NOT make any modifications to the product.

• DO NOT over-inflate the tires. Failure to comply with the rated pressure on the tire sidewall may lead to explosion of the tire and possible injury.

• 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.

• Obey all local legal requirements for lighting.

• 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 front and rear door fully closed to protect pet from flying debris and prevent pet from jumping from the trailer.

• The rider of the bicycle must be at least 18 years old.

• Recommended speed limits: - 10 mph on smooth, straight roads – 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 4.4 and 22 lbs. To measure this, load your trailer and place 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 4.4 and 22 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.

WARNING

Never overload the trailer and never ride with a tow bar load that is outside the specified range of 4.4 to 22 lbs. Always distribute the load evenly. Failure to do so could result in accidents with serious injury or death. Tip: Make sure that your dog is positioned with its center of gravity as close as possible to the wheel axle.

This is the best way to ride with an optimal weight distribution.

Remove the quick release from the left side of bike’s rear axle. Install the hitch between the quick release and frame. Tighten the quick release following the bike manufacturer’s manual. Hitch can remain on the bike when the trailer is removed (Figure 10).

!

WARNING

The tension-adjusting nut must engage the threads for at least five full turns in order to ensure adequate clamping force for holding the rear wheel securely.

Failure to tighten the tension-adjusting nut fully may result in accidents with serious injury or death. If the quick release skewer is too short, it must be replaced. Consult a professional bicycle mechanic for the appropriate parts and assistance.
