Hitch Maintenance

Check the hitch and back up safety straps are properly secured to trailer before every ride.
Periodically check the hitch for damage or cracks; if any damage is found do not use trailer!
Any damage/deterioration on any parts of your trailer, should be replaced immediately to
reduce the risk of personal injury. Contact our Customer Service Department at 800.241.1848.

Canopy Care

You can machine wash your trailer’s canopy in cold water, gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
To minimize shrinkage, simply re-attach canopy to frame to dry. (Please do not put canopy
fabric in the dryer!)
Be sure to remove the boards from seats before washing. Trailer frame
can be cleaned using a soft, dry cloth, and an occasional spray of household wax will
maintain its healthy glow.

Windows

Plastic windows can crack at these low temperatures. If carrier is stored or left out in the cold
weather you will need to let it warm up before folding or assembling unit.

Wheels and Axles

Check wheels for loose spokes and axles before every use. Moisture – especially from the
beach – can rust the wheels, footbrake and parts of frame. Spraying regularly with a silicone
lubricant will keep your trailer looking healthy.

Storage

Store your trailer in a dry, well ventilated area. To avoid mildew, make sure carrier is dry
before storing. Sunshine can fade fabric and dry out tires, so storing your trailer indoors
will prolong its good looks. However if you do store it outside, using a tarp will help protect
against weather wear. Do not store the carrier attached to your bicycle.
