Description Solvit's HoundAbout II Bicycle Trailer is perfect for cycling to the dog park - you get a workout there and back, and your pet stays safe while you’re on the road. Solvit's design features an extra-wide wheelbase and has a lower center-of-gravity to provide outstanding ride stability and easier access for your pet to get in and out of the cabin. The special pockets hold plenty of gear including cell phones, keys, a leash, a water bottle, treats, and more! The front door on the trailer is designed with an adjustable, zippered, mesh screen layer, plus a zippered, clear vinyl layer to protect your pal from the elements. This bicycle trailer also has an over-sized sunroof for ample airflow and room for your pet to peak his out and look around. Best of all, it assembles quickly, folds down for easy storage or transport, and it has a removable and washable cushion to keep your pal comfortable on longer rides. Key Benefits Great for older pets, pets with joint problems, or for summer walks when the ground is too hot for your pal's paw pads. Your pet can easily enter through the zippered, rear door, and he can stick his head out and enjoy the breeze through the roomy sunroof. The safety leash and removable, washable cushion keep pets secure and comfortable on long rides. The 16-inch air-filled tires provide a smooth ride and are off-road capable (nothing too extreme). Assembles quickly and folds down for easy storage. Precautions These specially-designed wheel mounting brackets provide a wider wheel base and lower center of gravity, which reduces the chance of the trailer tipping over. However, this risk is still present, especially when the dog’s center of gravity is high (standing position) and/or when their weight shifts rapidly to one side of the trailer. A common example is when the dog is standing while the bicycle is turning, and the dog loses its balance and leans heavily against one side of the trailer. To minimize this risk, always reduce speed before making turns, and adjust the leash inside the trailer so the dog’s center of gravity stays low. Never tow the trailer without the hitch and hitch safety strap correctly connected! Always make sure the rear door is closed fully before towing the trailer.

Locate the towbar mounting bracket which is welded to the frame; remove the pre-installed nut and bolt and the clevis pin (which is connected to the bolt with a black cord), but leave the black plastic spacer in place in the bracket. Position the towbar so the end with two holes fits into the plastic spacer and the hole at the end of the towbar aligns with the middle hole in the plastic spacer and the metal bracket. Re-install the bolt and nut through these holes taking care to keep the black cord from the clevis pin connected to the bolt. Lock the towbar into the “stowed” position by inserting the clevis pin through the mounting bracket, plastic spacer, and towbar and engage the hoop spring on the end of the clevis pin. Attach the wheel mounting brackets and wheels: Insert the square tube section of one wheel mounting bracket into either end of the square tube which runs under the trailer, making sure the bracket extends above the bottom of the cabin. Align the hole in the bracket with the hole in the square tube; insert the bolt & nut and tighten using the hex wrench provided and an adjustable wrench. Repeat with remaining wheel mounting bracket. Turn the cabin over before moving to the next step. Insert the axle spindle of one wheel into the axle tube on the wheel mounting bracket while pressing down on the spring lock button. Push the wheel in so that the spindle is in all the way, then release the spr
