Please note that riding with a trailer influences the braking behavior of
your
bike and the braking distance become longer! Adapt your cycling style
accordingly and pay attention to the excess width of the trailer. If
necessary, practice
riding your bike with the trailer attached beforehand without your pet
but with a comparable weight and pay attention to the changed steering
behavior the trailer causes.
When using the trailer, always use the signal pennant provided.
Pay attention to the traffic regulations.
The trailer is intended for carrying pets only and not for transporting
children!
To connect to the bicycle
The tow bar connects to the bicycle via the included quick-connect
hitch.
Attach the hitch to the left side of the rear bicycle wheel by removing the
axle nut, positioning the hitch on the axle, and re-tightening the axle
nut.
If your bicycle has a quick-release wheel, remove the quick-release pin
from the axle, insert it through the hitch, then re-assemble through the
axle. The hitch should be installed with the male connector piece facing
backwards and angling away from the bicycle. Position the trailer
behind the bicycle so that the female connector on the tow bar can slide
over the male connector on the hitch. Lock these connectors in place
with the cotter pin. Loop the black safety strap around the bike frame
and attach the snap swivel to the D-ring on the tow bar.
To secure your pet
Only ever allow your pet to get in or out through the rear door, with the
front door closed. Have someone hold the bicycle firmly in an upright
position, or lay the bicycle on its side. With the pet inside the trailer,
snap one end of the (included) safety leash to the pet's collar and the
other end to the D-ring located inside the trailer. Adjust the length of this
leash so the pet cannot get out of the front window when it is open.
Always close the rear door before riding off. Never leave your pet in the
trailer without supervision.
WARNING!
Check if trailer hitch is secure before cycling!
How to accustom your dog to the trailer
Please take plenty of time and choose a quiet place so that you can
train your dog without interruptions, which might distract or frighten the
dog. It is also important to choose an even surface like a tarmac lot, for
example. The dog should wear a harness; the rear door should be open
and the front door should be closed. If possible, taking a second
person to assist. To get the dog used to the bicycle trailer the training
will ideally be carried out in 3 steps:
