Introduction

Your Burley is shipped almost completely assembled from the factory. Your

nal assembly should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Once you’ve read the safety

guidelines, you’re ready to go! Before trailering, be sure you have a thorough

understanding of the trailer hitch operation. Review the loading guidelines,

and 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 on the bike seat looking forward.

NOTE:

Safety Guidelines

Bicycling with a trailer is dierent 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 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 Checklists” of this manual. Have your

Authorized Burley Dealer maintain and inspect your bicycle and trailer if you

are not qualied to do so.

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 dierence 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.
