Instructions

How to accustom your dog to the trailer

Note:

• If you want to use the product as a bicycle trailer, please attach the wheels to

the front wheel receiver.

•

If you want to use the product for jogging with the corresponding conversi-

on kit (article no. 12815), please use the rear wheel receiver for attaching the

wheels. Please use conversion kit item 12808 for bicycle trailer item 12807.

• The trailer is equipped with reflectors on the front and on the back as well as

on both wheels. In addition to that, reflecting stripes provide more safety by

increasing visibility. In case of bad visibility and darkness, battery-powered

bicycle rear lights can be attached if necessary.

• Only use the trailer with a tow bar and with the safety strap attached correctly.

• The maximum loading capacity may not be exceeded. Check air pressure and

tyre profile regularly, and ensure that bicycle and trailer are connected cor-

rectly before each ride.

• Please note that riding with a trailer influences the braking behaviour of your

bike and the braking distance becomes longer! Adapt your cycling style accor-

dingly and pay attention to the excess width of the trailer. If necessary, prac-

tise riding your bike with the trailer attached beforehand – without your pet

but with a comparable weight – and pay attention to the changed steering

behaviour the trailer causes.

• When using the trailer, always use the signal pennant provided.

• Pay attention to the traffic regulations.

• The trailer is intended for carrying pets only and not for transporting children!

To connect to the bicycle

The tow bar connects to the bicycle via the included quick-connect hitch.

Attach the hitch to the left side of the rear bicycle wheel by removing the

axle nut, positioning the hitch on the axle, and re-tightening the axle nut. If

your bicycle has a quick-release wheel, remove the quick-release pin from

the axle, insert it through the hitch, then re-assemble through the axle. The

hitch should be installed with the male connector piece facing backwards and

angling away from the bicycle. Position the trailer behind the bicycle so that

the female connector on the tow bar can slide over the male connector on

the hitch. Lock these connectors in place with the cotter pin. Loop the black

safety strap around the bike frame and attach the snap swivel to the D-ring

on the tow bar.

To secure your pet

Only ever allow your pet to get in or out through the

rear door, with the front door closed. Have someone

hold the bicycle firmly in an upright position, or lay

the bicycle on its side. With the pet inside the trai-

ler, snap one end of the (included) safety leash

to the pet’s collar and the other end to the

D-ring located inside the trailer. Adjust the

length of this leash so the pet cannot get

out of the front window when it is open.

Always close the rear door before riding

off. Never leave your pet in the trailer

without supervision.

Please take plenty of time and choose a quiet place so that you can train

your dog without interruptions, which might distract or frighten the dog. It is

also important to choose an even surface like a tarmac lot, for example. The

dog should wear a harness; the rear door should be open and the front door

should be closed. If possible take a second person to assist.

To get the dog used to the bicycle trailer the training will ideally be carried

out in 3 steps:

Step 1: The dog becomes acquainted with the bicycle trailer

1. Your assistant holds the bike and trailer steady during the entire training and

prevents the trailer from wobbling. Lead your dog through the rear door into

the trailer and hold him with the short leash.

2. Now close the rear door and open the front door. Then praise the dog and give

him some tasty treats.

3. Close the front door again and open the rear door. Praise and reward your dog

and let him get out on command.

Step 2: The dog becomes acquainted with the trailer’s motion

1. The assistant once again holds the bike and trailer steady while you guide the

dog into the trailer. Attach the short lead to the dog’s harness.

2. Close the rear door again and reward your dog by giving him some treats

through the front door.

3. When the dog is sitting still the assistant slowly puts bike and trailer into

motion. Walk alongside the trailer and praise and reward your dog.

– If the dog becomes anxious please stop the trailer. As soon as the dog has

calmed down, reward your dog with some treats and stop the training as in

step 1.

– If the dog keeps calm stop the training - as in step 1 - after 2 minutes of a slow

ride.

Step 3: Riding with bike and trailer

1. The assistant once again holds the bike and trailer steady while you guide the

dog into the trailer and attach the short leash to the dog’s harness.

2. Close the rear door and reward your dog by giving him some treats through

the front door.

3. When the dog is sitting still the assistant slowly starts to ride the bike with

trailer. Walk alongside the trailer and give your dog tasty treats.

– If the dog becomes anxious please stop cycling. Wait until the dog calms

down again and give him a tasty treat while standing still. Now gently put the

trailer into motion again (see step 2) and after a short time stop the training

as in step 1 or step 2.

– If the dog keeps calm stop the training as described after approx. 2 minutes.

If the dog stays calm you can extend the riding time step-by-step and cycle

without any escort.

Repeat step 3 if necessary until your dog gets used to riding in the bicycle

trailer for dogs.
