PB FLYER Instructions

Warnings and Cautions

Bike trailer will affect the handling of your bicycle. Use caution when braking, cornering, and accelerating. Obey all traffic rules.

• DO NOT USE PB FLYER AT NIGHT.
• DO NOT CARRY PASSENGERS.
• DO NOT EXCEED WEIGHT LIMIT OF 75 POUNDS.
• DO NOT EXCEED SPEED OF 10 MPH.
• DO NOT EXCEED BOAT LENGTH LIMIT OF 15 FEET.
• DO NOT USE TRAILER “OFF ROAD”.
• DO CHECK HITCH AND TRAILER FOR WORN OR LOOSE PARTS BEFORE EACH RIDE.
• DO PRACTICE WITH LOADED TRAILER ON BIKE BEFORE RIDING IN TRAFFIC.

Assemble PB Flyer

1. Use one 1-1⁄2” x 1⁄4” bolt, 2 washers, and one lock nut to attach long drawbar to t-fitting on wheel carriage. Do not over-tighten.
2. Slide wheel onto spindle. Insert snap ring pin into hole of spindle. Flip down snap ring (be careful; this can pinch fingers). To remove wheel, flip up snap ring, pull out snap ring pin, and pull wheel off spindle. Place snap ring pin back into spindle hole for safekeeping.
3. Assemble drawbar to be about one-half the length of your boat: a. Insert smaller drawbar section into the two larger drawbar sections. b. Fasten the three sections together using 1-1⁄2” x 1⁄4” bolts through predrilled holes. Do not put washers and locknuts onto bolts at this time.

4. Snap v-cradle onto drawbar at the end nearest the hitch (not the wheel carriage). (The angle of the cradle may be bent slightly to conform to the hull of your boat.) Use baled lynch pin to secure v-cradle to drawbar.

5. Push foam pad onto wheel carriage.

Place Boat on PB Flyer

1. With bow of boat placed toward the hitch, put boat onto trailer. IMPORTANT: The bow of boat should not extend beyond the curve of the drawbar. If the boat is too far forward, it will interfere with operation of bicycle.
   
2. When length of drawbar is suitable for your boat, fit washers and lock nuts onto bolts and tighten. Do not over-tighten.
   
3. Strap boat to trailer at rear wheel carriage and at v-cradle. Use webbed straps with cam buckles (provided). Straps should go “up and over” as seen in pictures; do not pass straps beneath boat (this would permit boat to slide around on trailer).
4. After strapping front of boat to v-cradle, tie loose end of strap to thwart, grap loop, or some other feature of the boat.

Attach PB Flyer to Bike

1. Remove quick release skewer rod from rear bicycle wheel.
2. Run quick release skewer rod through hole in hitch receiver.
3. Replace rod-hitch receiver assembly in wheel.
4. Tighten quick release. Hitch receiver should be between quick release lever and bike frame. Hitch receiver should be in a horizontal position and should be clamped tightly; it should not move when pushed down by hand forcefully.

5. Attach PB Flyer drawbar hitch to hitch receiver using baled lynch pin.

6. Wrap safety strap around bicycle seat stay. Attach safety strap to eye bolt on drawbar.
