Burley Encore Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual

Congratulations!

You’ve just purchased the Burley Encore child trailer, 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.

IMPORTANT: Because some of the features and guidelines for using

the Burley Encore merit close attention, it is very important that you

familiarize yourself with the trailer by reading this manual all the way

through before use. If you have any questions we encourage you to

contact your Burley dealer.

Introduction

Your Burley Encore is shipped almost completely assembled from the fac-

tory. This manual is written sequentially to assist initial setup. You need only

to install the quick-release levers, mount the reﬂectors, attach the wheels,

unfold the trailer, install the safety ﬂag and snap on the cover. Once you've

read the safety guidelines, you're ready to go.

Before trailering, be sure you have a thorough understanding of the safety

harness and of trailer hitch operation. Practice folding and unfolding

your trailer; it can easily be done in less than a minute after practice, no

tools required. Check to see that the trailer wheels and hitch are securely

attached. We again request that you read this manual from start to ﬁnish

before use, and then refer to it as necessary in the future.

NOTE: Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of travel,

as if you were sitting in the child seat looking forward.

When Loaning or Selling Your Trailer

If you loan or sell your Burley-Encore, supply the new user with this manual.

They must familiarize themselves with all sections—especially sections

“X. Safety Guidelines” and “XI. Safety Checklists” prior to use. It is essential

that they understand the differences between riding a bicycle with a trailer

and without one. It is also essential that they understand correct wheel

attachment, folding, and use of the harness, safety ﬂag, cover, and hitch.

Always ensure that both adult and child are wearing helmets. Never loan

your trailer if it is in need of maintenance or repair.

Burley Encore Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual

III. Installing the Quick-Release Levers

In the bag with the reﬂectors you’ll ﬁnd two quick-release levers. Install

these through the hollow axle of the wheel. Make sure the lever is on the

nutted side of the wheel, and the long axle and the thumb nut on the other

side. This keeps the wheel away from the fabric side panel. The springs are

mounted on each side as shown in the illustration below.

IV. Attaching the Wheels

First, verify that the tires are inﬂated to 30–35 P.S.I. Next, tip the trailer frame

on its back end. If you are working on a rough or dirty surface, lay down a

cloth or other protective barrier to avoid damage to your trailer. Move the

quick-release lever to the unlocked position and place the wheels into the

dropouts, making certain that the axles go all the way into the slots.

The quick-release lever

must be on the ﬂat side

of wheel, and thumb nut

on the opposite side. This

ensures that the lever will

be on the outside when

wheel is properly installed.

Correct Wrong

Burley Encore Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual

IMPORTANT: Wheels must be installed so that tires are offset away

from side panels, closest to outer frame. Bolts sticking out from inner

frame at rear are designed to interfere with improper installation of

wheel. These wheels are a unique feature of Burley trailers; they cre-

ate a wider track, and thus a more stable trailer.

Once the wheels are fully seated in the dropout slots, the quick-release lever

should be positioned so that it operates in the fore and aft direction. The

lever is marked for open or closed positions. Tighten the right-hand wheel

by moving the lever from the front (open) to the rear (closed) position.

Tighten the left-hand wheel by moving the lever from the rear (open) to the

front(closed) position. Usethe thumbnut toadjustfor correctspacing ofthe

quick-release lever.

When properly adjusted, you will feel resistance halfway through tightening

thelever(when thelever ispointing straight outaway fromthe trailer). Ifyou

are unfamiliar with the use of quick-release levers, contact your Burley dealer

for a demonstration.

Make sure wheels are held securely; you should not be able to

rock or shift wheels. Improperly installed wheels can fall off, caus-

ing accident and serious injury.

Only use the 20 x 1.75 wheels supplied with Burley Encore. Do not

operate with tires inﬂated above 35 P.S.I. Failure to comply can

cause trailer tip over, resulting in accident and serious injury to

cyclist or passengers.

The quick-release lever

operates in fore-aft direction

(with lever below the axle).

V. Unfolding and Folding Your Burley Encore

Your Burley Encore is designed with a lightweight aluminum frame, com-

pleteroll cage, andbright-colored polyestersoftware. Setting itup orfolding

it down is accomplished in a few easy steps as follows:

Raise the Side Panels

1. With the trailer frame lying ﬂat, unfold the two side panels so that they

are vertical. You will ﬁnd the roll bar lying against the left side panel.

2. Raise it to a horizontal position and pull it into the right roll bar recep-

tacle at the top of the right side rail.

3. Slip the safety pin through the hole in the roll bar receptacle to lock the

roll bar in place.

4. Refer to the illustration below showing locked position of the safety pin.

IMPORTANT: Connect the snap hooks on the back of the seat to the

D-rings at the rear of the side panels in the cargo area. Only release

the right snap hook when folding the trailer.

Burley Encore Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual

Tongue Installation and Operation

The tongue is the structure that connects the trailer to the bicycle hitch. It is

designed to be removed for storage and to adjust for either trailer or stroller use.

Tip your trailer frame on its back end. If you are working on a rough or dirty

surface,lay down a cloth or other protective barrier to avoid damage to your

trailer. To insert the tongue,slide it through the front and rear tongue mounts as

shown below. Depress the safety button to allow the tongue to insert past the

front tongue mount. The safety button will spring back out once it is completely

behind the front tongue mount.

Both safety pins must be locked in place before using trailer, otherwise

roll bar or tongue could shift and cause an accident or serious injury.

Trailer Use

For use as a trailer,line up the rearmost hole on the tongue with the hole in the

rear tongue mount. Insert the pin through both holes. Once inserted,rotate the

pin’s spring clip to engage the pin underneath the tongue mount. Always check

to ensure the tongue is properly installed before using trailer.

Stroller Use (requires optional Walk n’ Roller™ kit)

Your Burley Encore is

ready for stroller use

with the purchase

of the optionalWalk

‘n Roller™ kit from

your local bike shop.

For strolling,slide the

tongue back until the

stroller pin hole on the

tongue lines up with

the hole in the rear

tongue mount.Depress

the safety button a

second time to allow the tongue to slide past the rear tongue mount.Be sure to

replace the pin through the rear tongue mount and the tongue,and then en-

gage the pin’s clip.This option brings the stroller wheel closer to the main body

to stroller easily in tight spaces.

DO NOT attempt to attach the bicycle with the tongue in the stroller

position. There will not be adequate clearance for a bicycle wheel.

Installation and Use of the Handle

Your Burley Encore comes with a two-position handle that allows for easier ma-

neuvering of the trailer when it is not attached to your bicycle. The handle is also

an important part of the optional Burley Jogger Kit ™ and the optional Walk‘n

Roller™ kit. Both of these accessories are available at your local bike shop.

The handle for the Encore is installed quite easily. Simply depress the buttons

on either side of the handle and slide the handle into the handle bar receivers as

shown in the illustration below. The handle is designed for either a high or low

position depending on the height and comfort of the user. This position can be

changed by ﬂipping the handle over and installing it as described above.

stationary when you park your bike or when using the optional Burley Jogger Kit™

or Burley Walk ‘n Roller Kit™. You can tighten or loosen the bolts attaching the

brakes to the trailer if necessary. Make sure the brake engages securely.

Burley Encore Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual

Folding Your Burley Encore

Folding your Burley Encore is basically the

reverse of unfolding it. Familiarize yourself with

unfolding the trailer as previously outlined. To

fold your trailer:

1. Remove the cover.

2. Remove the safety ﬂag.

3. Remove the safety pin at the roll bar and

disconnect the right snap hook on the back

of the child seat. Fold the roll bar against the

side panel in front of the seat. Fold the left

side panel ﬁrst, then the right side panel.

4. Remove the wheels and store them in a safe

area.

5. Remove the safety pin at the tongue/hitch receptacle and fold the

tongue hitch back 180˚.

We recommend reinserting the safety pins in their receptacles for

storage or transport to avoid snagging.

You can partially fold your Burley Encore as needed. Your options are to

fold only the side panels, fold only the tongue and hitch, remove the quick-

release wheels, or any combination of the above.

DO NOT OPERATE YOUR BURLEY ENCORE IN A PARTIALLY FOLDED

CONDITION.

VI. Using the Seat Harness

IMPORTANT: The trailer seat is intended only for children old enough

to wear a helmet and sit upright by themselves. Your child must have

enough neck strength to hold his or her head up while trailering.

Junction of shoulder strap and Y-buckle must be positioned at

child's sternum to work correctly. Belts or buckles near your child's

neck can cause discomfort or serious injury. Check child periodi-

cally to make sure that he or she has not slipped from correct

seated position.
