BURLEY TRAILER OWNER’S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL 3

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.

4BURLEY TRAILER OWNER’S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL

Starting and Stopping

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 ex-

tends further out on the left; allow for this difference when turning, passing

pedestrians or approaching obstacles, such as posts on bike paths. Experi-

ment with a loaded trailer in an uncongested area to become familiar with

how your heavier, longer vehicle responds.

Prevent Trailer Tip Over

Like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip over. Do not

pull your trailer over curbs or hit holes or other road obstructions. Instruct

children not to bounce or lean, which can cause a shift of weight. 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.

Trailers can tip over, causing damage to trailer and serious injury to

cyclist or passengers. AVOID causes of tip over, especially:

WARNING

• Children leaning or bouncing

• Hitting potholes, curbs, other

road obstructions

• Taking turns too fast

• Sudden swerving

• Off-banked turns

• Improper wheel installation

• Improper tire inﬂation

No Motorized Vehicles

Never pull your Burley trailer with a motorized vehicle, as the increased ac-

celeration and speed could damage the trailer or cause it to tip over.

Always Use Your Cover

To protect your children from ﬂying debris, always use your cover. Never leave

children unattended in direct sunlight, as heat buildup in the trailer can

cause serious harm. Open or close the vinyl window and periodically check

to make sure your children are comfortable.

BURLEY TRAILER OWNER’S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL 5

Wear Helmets

Numerous studies have shown that head injury is the leading cause of bi-

cycling fatalities. Helmets prevent or reduce bicyclists’ head injuries; it is

essential that both cyclist and passengers use approved bicycling helmets

at all times.

Proper Wheels and Tires are Essential

Use only the factory-supplied wheels, and keep them properly maintained.

Inﬂate tires to 30–35 P.S.I. and check pressure before each use. Do not use

higher-pressure tires or knobbies. We recommend using only tires with street

tread.

Know Your Trailer Hitch

Clamp the hitch securely to the bicycle frame, and check for a tight attach-

ment each time you use the trailer. Refer to “Hitching Your Burley to Your

Bicycle” and “Maintenance and Storage” sections of this manual for proper

installation, use and maintenance of your hitch.

Use Your Flag

Always use the safety ﬂag—it will help make you more visible to motorists and

other cyclists.

Protect Your Children

Use the shoulder harness, lap belt, and child helmets on your children at

all times. Always fasten the seat belt so that each child is held securely. For

maximum stability and safety, seat a single child in the center of the trailer.

Periodically check placement of the shoulder straps, especially for sleeping

children. Make sure children cannot put a ﬁnger into the wheel spokes.

Observe Age and Height Restrictions

The trailer seat is intended only for children old enough to wear a helmet

and sit upright and alone. Adequate neck strength is required to hold his/her

head upright while trailering. A physician should evaluate anyone who is of

questionable developmental age for trailering. Never carry a child whose sit-

ting height (with helmet) is above the roll bar, because their chance of injury

is signiﬁcantly higher in the event of a tip over.

Mounting the Reﬂectors

Cub™: Factory-installed Bee™: Rear Reﬂectors Only

All other models:

FRONT: Clear front reﬂectors are mounted horizontally to both sides of the

trailer fabric front. “TOP” is marked on the reﬂector front. Locate the grom-

mets on the trailer fabric front, insert the screw into the reﬂector back through

the grommet, and tighten snugly. Repeat for the other side.

REAR: Red reﬂectors are mounted horizontally to both sides of the rear of the

main frame tube, with the reﬂectors extending out past the sides.

1. Snap the posts on the red reﬂectors into the openings in the reﬂector

brackets, and with the provided screw, screw the pieces together.

2. Loosen the black screw next to the clamp (A) on the reﬂector bracket.

Slide the bracket clamp onto the rear side section (B) of the main

frame tube. Make sure the reﬂector side marked TOP is to the top.

3. Tighten screw snugly, making sure reﬂector extends out past the trailer

side. Repeat for the other side.

Make sure both reﬂectors face outward. Incorrectly installed reﬂectors

can reduce visibility at night and cause an accident or serious injury.

BURLEY TRAILER OWNER’S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL 9

Attaching the Wheels

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. Once the

wheel is fully seated in the hollow axle, position the quick-release lever so

that it is aimed to the rear of the trailer in the “CLOSED” position (the lever

is marked for OPEN or CLOSED positions). Repeat for the other wheel. Note:

wheels are not centered on the axle.

Make sure wheels are held securely, with wheel shaft fully inserted into

the hollow axle. You should not be able to rock or shift wheels. Improp-

erly installed wheels can fall off, causing an accident or serious injury.
