DO NOT USE YOUR HANDLEBAR WITH ANY OTHER BICYCLE: Some

Burley re cum bent models are equipped with a special light weight

han dle bar, iden ti ﬁ ed by a warning label at the bar center. These

handlebars are designed speciﬁ cally for recumbent bicycles and

MUST NOT BE USED ON ANY OTHER BICYCLE. Use of these handlebars

on other bicycles may result in a failure, which could cause an ac-

cident resulting in serious injury.

Some Burley recumbent models feature front forks with a protective plastic strip

at the top of the right side fork leg. This strip is designed to prevent scratch ing or

gouging damage to the fork from the drive chain. It is very important that these forks

are not al lowed to become scratched or gouged and that damage to the surface of

the fork from the drive chain is pre vent ed. It is very im por tant that the protective

strip is replaced if it be comes warn or damaged. See your dealer or call Burley

Cus tom er Service if you have questions about the fork in your bike.

REPLACE PROTECTIVE STRIP ON FORK WHEN DAMAGED: Some Burley

recumbent models feature front forks with a pro tec tive plastic strip

at the top of the right-side fork leg. Damage to the surface of these

forks could lead to the de vel op ment of cracks, which could even-

tu al ly cause the fork to fail. A fork failure will cause an accident that

could result in serious injury or death.

III. Sizing Adjustments

Important Sizing Information for Proper Riding Position

Recumbent bicycle sizing and ﬁ t criteria are different from upright bi cy cles. It is

very important to carry out the necessary adjustments to be sure your recumbent ﬁ ts

you properly. A bike that does not ﬁ t properly is un safe. It will be un com fort able

and difﬁ cult to control.

FIT AND SIZE IMPORTANT: If your bicycle does not ﬁ t prop er ly, you

may lose con trol and fall. If your new bike doesn’t ﬁ t, ask your dealer

to size it properly before you ride. Fail ure to do so may cause an

accident, re sult ing in serious injury or death.
