Operating Instructions

Proper operation ensures the longevity and safety of your cargo trailer.

1. Attaching to Bicycle:

   Use the quick coupling mechanism on the drawbar to attach the trailer to the rear axle of your bicycle. Ensure the coupling is fully engaged and secured according to the mechanism's design. A safety strap or pin may be present for additional security.

2. Loading Cargo:

   Distribute weight evenly within the cargo compartment. Place heavier items at the bottom and center of the trailer. Do not exceed the 65 kg maximum load capacity. Secure all items to prevent movement during transit.

4. Riding with the Trailer:

   Ride cautiously, especially when turning or braking. Be mindful of the increased length and width of your bicycle with the trailer attached. Avoid sudden movements.
5. Folding for Storage:

   When not in use, the drawbar can be loosened and folded underneath the trailer body to reduce its footprint for storage. The wheels may also be easily removed for more compact storage.
