any racks, bags, or fittings you have on your bicycle. If there is any interference, contact your Burley dealer.

IMPORTANT: Remove trailer from your bicycle when it’s not in use to prevent deforming the plastic hitch.

Do not operate trailer without hitch safety strap properly installed. A dangling safety strap can contact spokes and damage rear wheel or cause an accident resulting in serious injury.

Hitch must seat properly into stays and not interfere with racks, bags, or fittings. Inspect hitch and tongue frequently for damage or loose fasteners. Interfering parts or damaged hitch can cause an accident resulting in serious injury.

Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32˚ Fahrenheit as hitch rubber flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing an accident resulting in serious injury.

VIII. Trailer Maintenance and Care

Storing Your Burley Cub

We build trailers to last, and often see fifteen-year-old trailers in use, but even a Burley trailer will not last forever. When not in use, the trailer shold be stored out of the sunlight, as extended exposure will cause deterioration of the polyethylene shell, hitch and fabric.

Your polyethylene shell will need to be replaced if it becomes damaged or cracked. Periodically inspect all parts of your Burley Cub using section “X. Safety Checklists.”

Hitch and Tongue Maintenance

Your trailer is designed for low maintenance and easy care. Clean and grease the eyebolt threads on the hitch periodically to ensure that the eyebolt knob can be properly tightened.
