Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the fabric parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals. The mesh inserts can be gently wiped.
• Tires: Maintain proper tire pressure as indicated on the tire sidewalls. Inspect tires regularly for wear and tear.
• Frame: Wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Check for any signs of rust or damage.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the trailer for compact storage in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from weather elements.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and quick-release mechanisms to ensure they are tight and secure.

Troubleshooting

• Trailer feels unstable: Ensure all wheels are properly attached and inflated to the correct pressure. Verify that the frame is fully extended and locked.
• Difficulty maneuvering: Check that the front wheel (in jogger mode) is freely rotating. Ensure the handle is adjusted to a comfortable height. For bicycle mode, confirm the hitch is correctly installed and secured to the bike.
• Pet discomfort: Ensure the internal safety harness is not too tight or loose. Check for any obstructions inside the trailer. Provide adequate ventilation.
• Folding mechanism is stiff: Apply a small amount of silicone spray to the joints if they become stiff. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
