SECURING CHILD WITH 5-POINT SAFETY HARNESS
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury, children should always wear the seat belt, shoulder strap, and a helmet!
STEP 1:
STEP 2:
Undo the lap belt buckle and seat the child in the CENTER of the trailer. Buckle the lap belt [A] over the
child’s lap, and pull the strap until the belt is tight.
Place the two center shoulder straps [C] over the child’s shoulders, and clip both straps into “D”
Ring [D] of the center crotch strap. Adjust shoulder strap height of the child, then pull the straps
until they are snug.
NOTE: Clip the outer shoulder strap on either side into the “D” Ring of the
outer crotch strap directly below. This will keep the straps that are not
in use out of the way.
WARNING!:
Adjust the straps so that the crotch strap and shoulder straps meet at the child’s stomach level,
NOT at the chest level!
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 2:
STEP 3:
STEP 4:
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.
