d’LITE™ LADY BUG™ SOLO™ ENCORE™ CUB™ BEE™ Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual
Congratulations! Introduction Your Burley trailer is the leading choice of discriminating bicycle trailer owners worldwide. Every effort has been made to ensure your purchase is of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and miles of happy, safe trailering. Your Burley is shipped 95% factory-assembled. You need only to mount the reflectors, install the tongue, attach the wheels, handle, brake, and safety flag, and snap the cover into place.
Starting and Stopping Wear Helmets Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer will be slower to start and stop, and because of its length, requires more time to cross streets or paths. Your entire vehicle is heavier and less responsive. Think ahead and anticipate stops, turns and starts. Note that your trailer extends further out on the left; allow for this difference when turning, passing pedestrians or approaching obstacles, such as posts on bike paths.
Hardware Bag Contents and Tool List IMPORTANT: Please verify that you have received all of the contents listed. Do not proceed with assembly if any parts are missing; contact Burley immediately for replacement parts.
Mounting the Reflectors Attaching the Wheels Cub : Factory-installed All other models: First, verify that the tires are inflated to 30-35 P.S.I. Tip the trailer frame onto its rear end. With the quick-release lever in the “OPEN” position, insert the wheel axle assembly completely into the hollow trailer axle, making sure that the horizontal shaft goes all the way into the axle. Tighten the thumb nut, so that you feel resistance halfway though tightening the lever.
Installing and Operating the Tongue Retaining Pin d’Lite , Encore , Solo , Lady Bug ™ ™ ™ ™ Tip the trailer onto its rear end. Slide the tongue through the LEFT front tongue receptacle. Depress the safety button to allow it to slide back through the rear tongue receptacle. Line up the rear hole on the tongue with the hole in the rear tongue receptacle. Insert the pin through both holes. Once inserted, rotate the pin’s spring clip to engage the pin underneath the tongue receptacle.
Attaching the Handle Installing the Cub Parking Brake ™ d’Lite , Encore , Solo , Lady Bug , Cub ™ ™ ™ ™ The trailer should be fully unfolded and the tongue removed. ™ (Bee : no handle) ™ Your trailer comes with a handle which allows for easier maneuvering of the trailer when it’s not attached to your bicycle. The handle is also an important part of the optional Burley Jogger Kit™ and the optional Burley Stroller Kit™, which are available at your Authorized Burley Dealer.
Using the Parking Brake For All Trailers Except the Bee Cub™: Snap the two front snap buttons to the two snap studs under the front rim corners. Attach the male buckles on the rear cover corners to the female buckles below the side windows. ™ Engage the parking brake by pushing the handle to the right. This pushes the brake arms outward so that the tip of each brake engages the inside of each tire. Exercise caution when disengaging the brake, as it may spring to the left.
Padded Seat & Shoulder Harness, Child Seat Recliner, and Recessed Helmet Pocket (d’Lite , Solo , Lady Bug , Cub ) ™ ™ ™ ™ To Install Seat Pad: Attach the seat pad Velcro hook strips to the loop Velcro strips on the seat. To Install Shoulder Harness Pad: Insert the shoulder straps into the shoulder harness pad as shown in the drawing at the right. The shoulder straps should be oriented so that the FLAT parts of the male buckles are facing toward each other.
Two Passengers, All Models (Except Solo™): For two children, use both shoulder harnesses and two outer crotch straps. 1. If your trailer was set up for single-child use, reverse the process above in the Single Passenger section. Set up the restraint system for two children, with the male portion of each Y-buckle facing the center of each seating position. Hitching your Burley to Your Bicycle The Burley standard trailer hitch was designed to quickly and safely attach to virtually all types of bicycles.
