V. Unfolding and Folding Your

Burley d’Lite

Your Burley d’Lite is designed with a lightweight aluminum frame,

complete roll cage, and bright-colored nylon software. Setting it up

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

Raise the Side Panels

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

bar receptacle at the top of the right side rail. Slip the safety pin

through the hole in the roll-bar receptacle to lock the roll bar in

place. Refer to the illustration on the following page showing the

locked position of the safety pin. Connect the buckles at the back of

the child seat and tighten the straps.

IMPORTANT: Always fasten upper

and lower buckles behind child seat

when using trailer.

Cool Weather Use

When the temperature is 60-70˚ or colder you may be comfortable

without heavy clothing because your pedaling effort helps keep you

warm. However, when you consider the child’s inactivity sitting in

the trailer—coupled with a potential windchill factor—an extra

sweater or jacket may be needed for them to keep from getting too

cold.

Wear Helmets

Numerous studies have shown that:

• Head injury is the leading cause of bicycling fatalities; and,

• Helmets prevent or reduce bicyclists’ head injuries.

For safety, it is essential that both cyclist and passengers use

approved bicycling helmets at all times. Don’t take chances.

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, as the trailer will be

bouncy and prone to tip over with light loads. We only recommend

tires with street tread. Do not use knobbies. For stability, dished

wheels must be offset to the outside of the trailer (with tires close to

the outer frame, providing a wider track).

Know Your Trailer Hitch

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

attachment each time you use the trailer. Refer to sections “IX.

Hitching the Burley d’Lite to Your Bicycle” and “X. Trailer Mainte-

nance and Care” of this manual for proper installation, use and

maintenance of your hitch.

Use Your Flag

Always use the safety flag—it’s an essential safety device. The

moving flag will help make you more visible to motorists and other

cyclists.

Protect Your Child

When pulling a child, use the shoulder harness, lap belt, and child

helmet at all times. Always fasten the seat belt so that each child is
