Operating Instructions

Using as a Bike Trailer

• Ensure the trailer is securely attached to your bicycle via the hitch coupler.
• Place children in the seat and fasten the five-point security harness for each child.
• Attach the safety flag to the designated pole for maximum visibility.
• Always check that the canopy is properly positioned to protect children from elements.
• Maintain a safe and controlled speed, especially when turning or on uneven terrain.

Using as a Stroller

• Detach the trailer from the bicycle.
• Ensure the front swivel wheel is engaged for easy maneuverability. It can be locked for straight-line travel if preferred.
• Adjust the handlebar to a comfortable height.
• Engage the parking brake when the stroller is stationary to prevent accidental movement.

Folding for Storage

• Remove the front and rear wheels using their quick-release mechanisms.
• Fold the frame according to the instructions in your printed manual. This typically involves releasing specific latches or pins.
• The trailer folds compactly for storage in trunks or other spaces.

The trailer's folding frame and quick-release wheels allow for compact storage.

Maintenance and Care

• Tires: Regularly check tire pressure and inflate as needed. Inspect tires for wear, punctures, or damage.
• Frame: Periodically inspect the steel frame for any signs of damage, bends, or loose connections. Tighten any loose bolts or fasteners.
• Fabric: Clean the Oxford fabric with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material. Allow to air dry completely.
• Harness: Inspect the five-point harness for fraying or damage. Ensure buckles function correctly.
• Storage: Store the trailer in a dry, protected area when not in use to prevent rust or material degradation.

Troubleshooting

  Solution: Inflate tires to the recommended pressure. Check valve stems for leaks. If tires continue to deflate, inspect for punctures and repair or replace the inner tube as necessary.
• Problem: Trailer feels wobbly or unstable during use.
  Solution: Ensure all wheels are securely attached and properly inflated. Verify that the hitch coupler is tightly fastened to the bicycle. Check all frame connections for tightness.
• Problem: Children are not securely fastened in the harness.
  Solution: Adjust the five-point harness straps to fit snugly around each child. Ensure the buckles are fully engaged. Refer to the printed manual for detailed harness adjustment instructions.
• Problem: Difficulty converting between trailer and stroller modes.
