5.2 Bike Trailer Mode

• Ensure the front jogger wheel is removed or stowed, and the bicycle hitch arm is securely attached to both the trailer and the bicycle.
• Always use the safety strap from the hitch arm to the bicycle frame as a secondary attachment.
• Ride cautiously, especially when turning or braking, as the trailer adds weight and length to your bicycle.

5.3 Jogger Mode

• Remove the bicycle hitch arm and attach the front swivel wheel and handlebar.
• Engage the parking brake when stopped to prevent the trailer from rolling.
• The front wheel is designed for jogging and may not swivel freely like a standard stroller wheel.

5.4 Storage Compartment

A large storage space is located behind the seat. This is suitable for diaper bags, toys, or groceries. Ensure items are secured and do not exceed the weight limit or interfere with the children's space.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the fabric with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry completely.
• Storage: To prolong the life of the trailer, store it indoors when not in use. This prevents mildew, rust, and fabric degradation from weather exposure.
• Tires: Regularly check tire pressure and inflate to the recommended PSI. Inspect for punctures or excessive wear.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, pins, and quick-release mechanisms for tightness. Tighten as needed.
• Brakes: Inspect brake cables and pads for wear. Adjust or replace as necessary to ensure proper function.
