TAIL WAGON™ Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual
Congratulations! Introduction You’ve just purchased a Burley trailer, the leading choice of discriminating pet 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 trailer use with your animal companion. ® Your Burley is shipped partially assembled from the factory. Initial assembly should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Prevent Trailer Tip Over Know Your Trailer Hitch Like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip over. Do not pull your trailer over curbs or hit holes or other road obstructions. Do not make high-speed turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always corner with caution at 5 mph or less, as the trailer cannot lean into a turn the way a bicycle can. Do not travel faster than 15 mph—all road irregularities and your slower reaction time are greatly magnified.
Hardware Bag Contents and Tool List IMPORTANT: Please verify that you have received all of the contents listed. Do not proceed with the assembly if any parts are missing; contact your Authorized Burley Dealer or Burley immediately for replacement parts.
Attaching the Tongue Installing the Safety Flag Tip the trailer onto its rear end and locate the two tongue receptacles on the trailer’s left side. Remove the retaining pin from the rear tongue receptacle. Slide the tongue all the way through both tongue receptacles. Line up the hole on the tongue with the hole in the rear tongue receptacle. Insert the retaining pin through both holes. Once inserted, rotate the pin’s spring clip to engage the pin underneath the tongue receptacle.
WARNING The quick release lever must be in the closed position. Do not operate the trailer without the hitch safety strap properly installed. A dangling safety strap can contact the spokes and damage the rear wheel or cause an accident resulting in a serious injury. The hitch must seat properly into the stays and not interfere with racks, bags, or fittings. Inspect the hitch and tongue frequently for damage or loose fasteners.
