TRAILER MAINTENANCE
Your trailer will give you many years of service with minimal care. To ensure safe and dependable
operation, we recommend the following regular maintenance. Before each ride:

STEP 5:
STEP 1:
Make sure that wheels are fully secure on the frame. Wheels must be fully inserted to lock in place.
Check all fasteners to make sure that they are tight, and tighten or replace as needed.
Check tires for wear and proper inflation as listed on the tire sidewall. Use only hand-operated
pump to avoid tire damage. Under- or over inflation can result in unsafe handling.
Double check hitch attachment, making sure that QR Pin is locked, and that safety strap is in place.
Check harness strap for wear, and made sure that buckles lock properly.
ANNUALLY: Once a year, or sooner if needed, have the trailer inspected by a qualified bicycle
mechanic for signs of wear or needed adjustment.
AS NEEDED: Trailer can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Do not remove seat or cover
for washing. Do not use harsh chemicals or water, as they may damage fabrics or
the frame materials or surfaces.

REMOVAL OF TRAILER
STEP 1:
STEP 2:
NOTE:
Undo the lap belt buckle and seat the children in the Left & Right seats
of the trailer. Buckle the lap belt [A] over each child’s lap, and pull the
strap until the belt is tight.
FOR TWO CHILDREN:
Place the two center shoulder straps [B] over each child’s shoulders,
and clip both straps into “D” Ring [C] of the center crotch strap. Adjust
shoulder strap height of the straps until they are snug - you should be
able to fit two average adult fingers between the belt and the child.
The buckle should be centered in your child’s abdomen.
Hook the shoulder straps to the D-rings on the buckle and
adjust the ladder locks so they fit snugly.
WARNING!: Adjust the straps so that the crotch strap and shoulder straps meet at the child’s stomach level,
NOT at the chest level!
