Dear customer, thank you for purchasing our Mule trailer. We aim to manufacture
these products according to the highest quality standard. We hope to deliver a product

ments based on your use please let us know and we will look into incorporating these
into a future series. We wish you lots of fun with Mule.
BEFORE sTARTuP
Important: the Mule is designed for sports
cycling and rough terrain. Thus, using it
requires a certain experience and confidence
of the cyclist over these conditions.
You should take the following points into
consideration before using the trailer.
➔ Beginners should avoid using the trailer
off-road.
➔ The reaction possibilities with a trailer are
restricted and the braking behavior is reduced
considerably compared to riding without
a trailer. In addition breaking distance is
increased, compared to use without trailer
attached.
sTARTuP
Important: Check the following before each ride.
1. The shock is hung up into the appropriate
position at the linkage. There are two possible
positions. For road riding one can select the
position 1, in this position the trailer has 12cm
suspension travel, and the center of gravity
is lower. In the second position the trailer has
16 cm of travel, and the center of gravity is
slightly higher. For off-road trips this position
is to be preferred. The quick-release must
always be locked!
1.: Position 1 1.: Position 2
2. The rear wheel is put with the quick-release
rod (with pressure into the axle center) into the
socket at the linkage. It is important that the
wheel engages completely and you cannot pull
it out! You recognize this by the fact that the
pin completely disappears in the axle center!
2.
3. Please note that with each assembly the
drawbar is fully overlapping in the frame and
the safety pin is installed. After aligning the
drawbar in the frame tighten the screws with
a torque of 9Nm!
4. Pull the seat post out of the bicycle. Take out
the coupling, which is fastened to the seat post,
out of the cardan joint and stick it onto the seat
post. The coupling must fit exactly onto the
seat post. Therefore absolutely make sure to
purchase the correct coupling. The coupling
should not have a play on the seat post. It should
also not be bend open more than 1mm, to make
the mounting easier. Put back the seat post into
the bike again and position the coupling scarcely
as possible over the framework, however so that
you can lower the seat post if necessary still
some centimeters going downhill. The tube of
the coupling must show straight to the rear,
and now tighten the screw with a 5 mm allen key.
The clamping torque of the screw may not
exceed 9Nm.
Warning: Don't mount the trailer to carbon or
other lightweight construction seat posts.
