Hooking up Your Trailer

1. Installing the hitch to your bike: Remove quick-release or nut from the left side of bike’s rear wheel axle. Install hitch between quick-release or nut and frame. Tighten the
   quick-release or nut following manufacturer’s recommendation. The hitch can remain
   on the bike when trailer is removed.

2. Hooking the tow bar to the hitch: Insert flex connector in between the two holes on the hitch. Insert lock pin and close retainer. Wrap safety strap around the frame of the bike twice and latch to the D-ring on the tow bar.

Setting the Brake and Securing Your Child

1. Setting the parking brake: Pull the lever to the right (Figure 16). Pull it to the left to unlock
   (brake not found on all models).

2. Securing your child: Before loading or unloading your children, set the parking brake or hold the trailer in place. After loading, secure and adjust the harnesses. When using a double trailer with one child, always seat the child in the center position (Figure 17). Snap shoulder strap buckles into Y-buckle positioned at the child’s sternum. Fasten and adjust lap belt(s) to fit securely. Adjust the reclining seat as needed using the webbing buckles on the back of the seat (D’Lite, Solo, and Cub only).

NOTE: The Bee has a single lap belt for both children.

Adjusting the Roll Bar

1. Tow mode: Always rotate the roll bar forward at least 4 inches (100mm) above the top of your child’s helmet when trailer is in towing mode.
2. Stroll / Jog mode: The roll bar* may be rotated to serve as a handlebar while trailer is in strolling or jogging mode. Pull lever to rotate (Figure 18).

The roll bar lever tension is optimally adjusted from the factory. If the roll bar slips when lifting up or pushing down – or if it makes excessive noise when rotating – the lever tension can be fine-tuned by releasing the lever, squeezing the outer bar mounts together and turning the barrel nut on the side opposite the lever.

Before You Ride

1. Wheels are properly secured to the trailer
2. Tires are inflated to recommended pressure on tire side wall

4. Hitch is properly secured to the bicycle
5. Hitch and tow bar lock pin retainers are secured
6. Hitch safety strap is properly installed
7. Load does not exceed 100 lbs (45 kg) for double child trailers or 75 lbs (34 kg) for single child trailers

10. All passengers are wearing a helmet
11. Safety flag is in place
12. Child(ren) are properly secured with harness and lap belt

Check monthly:

• Inspect tow bar, hitch, frame tubing, flex connector and hardware for damage

Contact your authorized Burley dealer for replacement of any damaged or worn parts.

75 lbs (34 kg), one child + cargo

Double Child Trailers:
100 lbs (45 kg), one or two children + cargo

Maximum seated height of child:
24.5 in (62 cm)

Always comply with local regulations for maximum trailer weight. Maximum overall weight (trailer + cargo + passengers) is 60 kg in Germany.

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 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 trailer without a Burley-approved adapter
• DO NOT use with a total load that exceeds the weight limits
• DO NOT make modifications to the trailer

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 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, to make adjustments or to 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.

Maintaining Your Burley

Folding the Trailer:

• Remove passengers and cargo
• Remove the tow bar and both wheels
• Fold roll bar flat with top of trailer
• Release upper side-squeeze buckle behind the seat (Encore only)
• 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 trailer is folded with wheels installed

Storage:
For longer product life, store trailer indoors. If 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).

Fabric Care:

Hand wash 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.
