Safety Guidelines
Bicycling with a trailer cycle is different from bicycling without one. It is essential that you follow all safety guidelines, warnings, and instructions. Contact Burley if these instructions are unclear.
WARNING
BICYCLING WITH A TRAILER CYCLE, AND BICYCLING IN GENERAL, CAN BE HAZARDOUS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY SAFETY GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT, SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH.
- Maintain and inspect your bicycle and trailercycle regularly. Follow the instructions in your bicycle owner’s manual.
- The trailer cycle is designed for children ages 4-10 with sufficient coordination to pedal and adequate strength to hold on to the handlebars tightly. If your child is physically or mentally impaired, consult your physician as to whether your child can safely ride. Take short rides; stop frequently. Instruct your child to remain alert, and to keep their feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times.
- Both riders must wear helmets.
- Do not overload the trailer cycle. The maximum weight of a child riding your trailer cycle is 85 lbs./31.73 kg. Lead rider must weigh at least twice as much as the child. Never allow a child or adolescent to pull your trailer cycle. Do not exceed the weight limit by attaching a trailer, rack, panniers, or other cargo to the trailercycle.
- Adjust the seat and handlebar to the correct heights. Ensure that the minimum insertion mark, or at least 2 ½” (63.5mm), on the seat post remains inside the frame. Don’t use a seat post longer than the one supplied, as it could result in an unstable bike.
- Observe recommended speeds: maximum of 15 mph/24 km/h on smooth, straight roads, and 5 mph/8 km/h or less when turning or on uneven roads.
- Use only the factory-supplied wheel with the tire inflated to the pressure recommended on the tire side wall. Check pressure before each use. Do not use higher-pressure or knobby tires. Be sure axle nuts are properly tightened
- Before your passenger gets on and off the trailer cycle, come to a complete stop, straddle your bicycle and hold it securely with the brakes locked and both feet on the ground. Never rely on a kickstand to secure the trailercycle. Practice with your child in an uncongested area. Pulling the trailer cycle adds length and weight to your load; allow for ample time and distance to stop, start and turn.
- Do not use off-road, or at night without front and rear lights on both cycles. Avoid sudden swerving, rocks, and curbs.
Trailercycle Assembly
IMPORTANT
FOLLOW ALL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CLOSELY.
- Mount pedals (stamped R for right and L for left) to corresponding crank arm and tighten
- With screw, mount reflector bracket on left seat stay. Fasten reflector to bracket with mounting screw.
- Slide flag into the bracket.
- Pick olo only: Fasten splashguard to stem with two 6 mm bolts supplied with the fender.
- Insert seat post into seat tube. Tighten the quick release lever. Ensure that the minimum insertion mark, or at least 2 ½” (63.5mm) on the seat post remains inside the frame.
- To install handlebar, remove face plate, place handlebar into clamp and replace face plate, clamping handlebar to stem. Center handlebar in the stem. Tighten bolts.
- Insert trailer cycle tongue into hitch spindle and tighten both nuts securely. Photos 2A and 2B
Moose Rack Installation
- Using washers and socket head screws, attach bottom of rack to holes in bicycle dropouts.
- Position top of rack parallel to the ground. Check distance from stay mounting hole on Moose Rack to the bicycle’s seat stays. Figure A
- Adjust rack stays to fit. Photo 3
- Temporarily attach rack stays to rack and bicycle with washers and socket head screws (Photo 4), or use band clamps to attach rack stays to seat stays (Photo 5).
- If stays protrude above top of rack, excess length can be trimmed with a hacksaw. Mark stays, then remove stays to cut.
- Reinstall stays and tighten all nuts.
Recommended torque:
M6 Nuts: 6-8 N-m (Newton-meter)
M5 Screws: 4-5 N-m
IMPORTANT
HARDWARE FOR ATTACHMENT TO BIKES WITH THREADED EYELETS IN REAR DROPOUT IS
PROVIDED. CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED BURLEY DEALER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOUNT
MOOSE RACK ON A BIKE WITHOUT THREADED EYELETS IN THE REAR DROPOUT.
Hitching the Trailercycle to Your Bicycle
- Slide lever to retract safety pins. Safety pin lever and safety pins must slide freely. Photo 6
- Set hitch plate on rack and release lever to engage pins.
- Push knob down and tighten fully. Photo 7
IMPORTANT
THE KNOB MUST BE TIGHTENED AND SAFETY PINS ENGAGED BEFORE USE. DO NOT USE YOUR
TRAILER CYCLE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SECURELY TIGHTEN KNOB OR GET FULL
ENGAGEMENT OF THE SAFETY PINS.
WARNING
TRAILERCYCLE MUST BE ATTACHED TO BURLEY MOOSE RACK, USING ONLY BURLEY HARDWARE. RACK OR HARDWARE FROM OTHER SUPPLIERS MAY BREAK OR DETACH, RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS AND SERIOUS INJURY.
