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.
Because some of the features and guidelines for using
your Burley merit close attention, it is very important that you familiar-
ize yourself with the trailer by reading this entire manual before use. If
you have any questions, please contact your Authorized Burley Dealer or
check our website at www.burley.com.
IMPORTANT:
Introduction
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. Once you’ve read the safety guidelines,
you’re ready to go. Initial assembly should take 10-15 minutes. Before
trailering, be sure you have a thorough understanding of the safety harness
and of trailer hitch operation. Practice folding and unfolding your trailer.
Make sure the trailer wheels and hitch are securely attached.
Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of travel,
as if you were sitting in the child seat looking forward.
NOTE:
Safety Guidelines
Bicycling with a trailer is different from bicycling without one, in ways which
aren’t always obvious. It is essential that you read and understand all of the
following safety guide lines—in addition to the warnings and instructions in
the following sections—prior to using your trailer. Contact your Authorized
Burley Dealer or Burley if any of these instructions are unclear.
Bicycling with a trailer, and bicycling in general, can be hazardous.
Failure to observe any of the safety guidelines in this manual
could result in accident and serious injury or death.
WARNING
Use a Well-Maintained Bicycle and Trailer
Use a bicycle which is in good working condition with good brakes. A fre-
quent safety check of your bicycle is essential. Inspect and maintain your
trailer as outlined in the “Safety Check Lists” of this manual. Have your
Authorized Burley Dealer maintain and inspect your bicycle and trailer if you
are not qualified to do so.
Loading Your Trailer
Do not overload the trailer. Maximum trailer load limit for children and/or
cargo is 100 lbs. (40 kg. in Europe). When placing children or cargo into the
trailer, keep the load centered or forward of the axle. Pack the load as low as
possible and make sure items cannot shift around. Loose, heavy objects can
injure passengers in event of a sudden stop or tip over.
