The quick release lever must be in the closed position. Do not operate
the trailer without the hitch safety strap properly installed. A dangling
safety strap can contact the spokes and damage the rear wheel or
cause an accident resulting in a serious injury. The hitch must seat
properly into the stays and not interfere with racks, bags, or fittings.
Inspect the hitch and tongue frequently for damage or loose fasteners.
Interfering parts or damaged hitch can cause an accident resulting in
serious injury. Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 2°
Fahrenheit (0ºC) as the hitch rubber flex connector can become brittle
and possibly break, causing an accident resulting in serious injury.

Hitch and Tongue Maintenance
Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32˚F (0 C), as hitch rubber
flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing accident re-
sulting in serious injury.
Fabric Care
Your trailer body is made of a tough, waterproof polyester fabric, which is
highly resistant to fading. It can be easily cleaned with any mild soap or de-
tergent and warm water. For heavy soiling, use a nylon bristle brush. Do not
use bleach for cleaning, as it will damage the fabric. The fabric is an impor-
tant part of your trailer’s structure, and provides a protective environment for
your pet. Replace any fabric that is ripped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged.
Polyester fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sun-
light. To extend the life of your trailer, wipe it dry (to help avoid mildew) and
store it out of direct sunlight in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Using the trailer with damaged or ripped fabric may cause harmful con-
tact between your pet and the spokes or pavement, and cause serious
injury. Replace damaged components immediately.
