III. Installing the Tongue & Safety Flag

Installing the Tongue

The tongue attaches to the left

side of the trailer. When in-

stalled, the tongue bends to

the right, which places the

hitch near the center line of

the trailer.

Slide the tongue through the

two plastic tongue receptacles

until the end of the tongue is

flush with the back edge of the

rear tongue receptacle.

Secure the tongue as follows:

1. Slide the retaining pin in

the rearward receptacle

through the hole provided

in the tongue.

2. Secure and lock the pin by

rotating it toward the rear

of the trailer as shown in

the drawing.

3. Slip the safety pin through

the forward hole in the

tongue and lock in place.

Refer to the illustration showing the locked position of the

safety pin.

Firmly pull on the tongue to ensure that it is secure.

Tongue retaining pin must be locked into place before using trailer. If pin

is not properly locked, trailer could separate from bicycle, resulting in

accident and serious injury or death. Safety pin is a backup for the retaining

pin. Under no circumstances should the trailer be towed with only the

safety pin engaged.
