BURLEY 946207 Bee Bike-Only Trailer Instruction Manual

BURLEY 946207 Bee Bike-Only Trailer

Build A Legacy
Our legacy is to build the next generation of riders, adventurers & explorers because where we lead them is where their journey begins. We learn to read the road, and we find that every turn has a story. We discover that hills build more than muscle, they build character, and that the deeper we dig, the higher we can climb. We realize that every journey we take, takes us, and what we pick up along the way defines who we are. We understand that the experiences we gain and the passions we share become our legacy, so we lead by example. We raise our flag and strive to live better lives. We learn from the past and we proudly protect the future. On every road, we seek adventure and down every trail, we find our place in the world. Outside there are no walls and no limits, so we learn to reach further than we ever thought possible. From day to day and generation to generation, the journey never ends and the memories remain as the story unfolds.

Maintaining Your Burley

Folding the Trailer:

• Release frame latches and push the rear frame under the front frame
• Place the wheels and tow bar in the trailer
• NOTE: damage to windows can occur if the trailer is folded with wheels installed

Storage:
For longer product life, store the trailer indoors. If the trailer is stored outdoors, protect the trailer with a Burley storage cover. The trailer should not be stored at temperatures less than -10°F (-23°C) or greater than 150°F (65°C). Tires should not be stored in contact with windows as window discoloration may result.
Fabric Care:
Hand washes fabric parts with warm water and mild soap or detergent. DO NOT use bleach or solvents. Line-dry trailer cover. Wipe dry and store out of direct sunlight in a dry, well-ventilated area. Clean windows with a damp, soft cloth.

Safety Guidelines

• Recommended speed limits:
  • 15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads
  • 5 mph (8 km/h) when turning or on uneven roads
• Children must be able to sit upright without support and have the adequate neck strength to support their heads before being carried in a trailer. Consult a pediatrician to determine if a child is of sufficient developmental age to be carried in a bicycle trailer
• Maximum age of passenger is 7 years old
• Passengers must wear a bicycle helmet that meets applicable safety standards
• Always ride with the cover down to protect children from flying debris
• When using a double trailer with one child, always seat the child in the center position
• Make sure children cannot put fingers, clothing, toys, or shoelaces into the wheel spokes
• Check children frequently, especially during hot or cold weather
• Never leave children unattended
• The rider of the bicycle must be at least 16 years old
• DO NOT use a car seat in the trailer
• DO NOT use with a total load that exceeds the weight limits
• DO NOT make modifications to the trailer
• DO NOT over-inflate the tires. Failure to comply with the rated tire sidewall pressure may lead to an explosion of the tire and possible injury.

It is recommended that a qualified bicycle mechanic does a safety check of the towing bicycle before attaching the trailer. Before each ride, be sure the trailer does not interfere with the braking, pedaling, or steering of the bicycle. It is recommended that a rearview mirror be used on the bike. Always comply with local regulations when using the trailer on public roadways. Never ride a bicycle at night without adequate lighting. Obey all local legal requirements for lighting. The red reflectors that came with the trailer must remain attached and visible at all times. If you need to come to a stop for any reason, such as to check on your child, make adjustments, or address a flat tire, be sure to pull off of the road completely.

Because of the trailer’s weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer is heavier and less responsive. Avoid rocks, curbs, hard braking, and sudden swerving. Experiment with the loaded trailer in an uncongested area until you become familiar with how your bike handles towing a trailer. Avoid riding over obstacles with one wheel – as this may cause the trailer to tip over. Use good judgment when deciding if weather, road, or traffic conditions are safe to use a Burley. Recommended temperature limits for using a Burley trailer are 20°F to 100°F (-7°C to 38°C). Failure to comply with the instructions and safety guidelines in this manual could result in serious injury or death of the passenger or rider.
