Important Safety Instructions

Always prioritize the safety of your pet and yourself. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage.

• Maximum Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the recommended maximum weight of 20 kg for your pet.
• Pet Size: Ensure your pet's body length is less than 52 cm and its height is suitable for the trailer's interior dimensions.
• Secure Pet: Always use a safety leash to secure your pet inside the trailer to prevent jumping out.
• Bicycle Compatibility: The universal hitch is designed for most standard bicycles. Ensure your bicycle's axle and wheel nut dimensions are compatible with the hitch. Recommended bicycle wheel size is 24-29 inches.
• Pre-Ride Check: Before each use, verify that all wheels are securely attached, tires are properly inflated, and all fasteners are tightened. Check the hitch connection to the bicycle.
• Visibility: Always use the provided safety flag for increased visibility when operating as a bicycle trailer. Ensure reflectors are clean and visible.
• Braking: The handbrake is for parking and temporary stops. Do not rely on it as a primary braking system during motion.
• Terrain: Use on stable, even surfaces. Avoid rough terrain, steep inclines, or hazardous conditions that could compromise stability.
