Instructions for the Schwinn Tag Along

The Schwinn Tag Along is a passenger trailer.

Schwinn has manufactured bicycles and accessories since 1895. The company has also created a variety of trailers to suit its different types of bicycles, including trailers appropriate for small children who cannot pedal. Schwinn also manufacturers Tag Along trailers which allow the passenger to hold onto the handlebars and pedal behind the bicycle. The pedals on Tag Along trailers are functional, meaning the passenger can assist the rider. Tag Along trailers are simple to operate.

Things You'll Need

• 5 mm Allen wrench

Instructions

1. Extend the metal bar in front of the trailer's wheel ,and place the screw inside the pre-made hole. Tighten the screw to hold the bar in place.

2. Screw the bolt of the arm of the seat post clamp so it extends straight from the bike attachment bar. Open the seat post clamp. Wrap the clamp around the seat post.

3. Close the seat post clamp, and use a 5 mm Allen wrench to screw the bolts firmly into place. Check to ensure the clamp does not move around the seat post and the arm does not bend.
