Before towing your trailer, make sure your bicycle is in good condition and it is safe for towing. You may need to have a qualified bicycle mechanic to check it for you. Avoid dangerous routes, situations, and riding in cold windy weather conditions. Avoid pot holes, clipping curbs, ruts in the road when towing your trailer, especially when your trailer is empty. Under such condition your trailer may flip over and cause some damages to the trailer and your bike - Negotiate corners with care. Always have top cover & flag in place when a child is in trailer. Be sure engers are properly buckled up, and secured. Before starting your journey towing the trailer, take a short test ride to find the handling characteristics of your bicycle especially when you have engers inside your trailer. Do not allow horseplay inside trailer. Control speed-Maximum 20 m.p.h., 30 k.h. Always wear an ANSI or SNELL approved cycling helmet, both rider and enger(s). Any use of this product not expressly stated in this owners manual is strictly prohibited and voids warranty.
