Hitching the Trailer on the Bicycle
NOTE: The universal hitch is only suitable for bicycle with full axle or/and with quick
release axle.
1. Bicycles with Full Axle
Remove the left-hand axle nut from the bicycle. Any spacers or washers can
generally be retained. Put the hitch on the axle and re-attach the nut.
WARNING: The axle nut must be tightened on the axle thread by at least 5 full turns,
so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A thread which is too short can result in
accidental loosening of the rear wheel and therefore cause serious injury or death. If
in doubt, contact your specialist dealer.
2.Bicycles with Quick Release Axle Remove the quick release from
the bike and guide it through the hitch along with the quick release
axle. Push the quick release through the wheel hollow axle again,
screw the nut and clamp the quick release with the correct
pressure.
In order to ensure that the hub is clamped sufficiently in the hollow
axle, the quick release lever must begin gripping as it moves from the open to the
middle position, and approaching the closed position you should clearly feel
resistance as you tighten. If it is too easy or too difficult to move the quick release
lever, tighten or loosen the quick release nut on the other side of the hub.
WARNING:
The thread of the quick release nut must be tightened on the quick
release axle by at least 5 full turns, so that adequate clamping force is ensured. A
quick release axle with is too short can result in accidental loosening of the rear
wheel and therefore cause serious injury or death. If in doubt, contact your specialist
dealer.
Insert the safety pin through holes in both hitch and hitch connectors. Rotate and lock
up the pin.
Wrap the safety strap around the chain stay and fasten it to the tow bar D-ring with
the snap hook.
WARNING! Hitch and safety strap must be properly installed. Inspect the hitch and
tow bar frequently for any damage or loose fasteners. Damaged or improperly
installed can result in serious injury or death.
Loading and Unloading pets
Load and unload pet only through the rear door, with the front door closed and the
trailer attached to the bicycle. With the pet inside the trailer, snap one end of the
safety leash (included) to the pet's collar and the other end to the D-ring located
inside the trailer. Adjust the length of the leash so that the pet cannot exit through the
front window when it is open. Always close the rear door while riding.
