Safety Information
Prioritizing the safety of your pet and yourself is paramount. Please adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Pet Measurement: Before use, ensure your pet fits comfortably within the trailer's internal dimensions (approx. 31.5" L x 22.2" W x 26" H) and does not exceed the maximum load of 88 pounds.
- Secure Pet: Always use the adjustable seat belts and anti-skid mats inside the trailer to secure your pet during transit.
- Visibility: The trailer is equipped with red flags and reflectors to increase visibility, especially in low-light conditions. Ensure these are properly installed and clean before each use.
- Brakes: Utilize the hand lock brakes when the unit is stationary to prevent unintended movement.
- Ventilation: Netted windows provide good ventilation. Ensure they are clear and unobstructed for fresh air circulation.
- Weather Protection: The strong and durable Oxford cloth is waterproof, windproof, and UV resistant. Use the front plastic cover in adverse weather conditions to protect your pet from rain.
- Tire Pressure: Maintain proper inflation of the pneumatic rubber tires for a smooth and safe ride.
- Bike Connection: When used as a bike trailer, ensure the universal bicycle coupler is securely attached to your bicycle.
