Because of ultraviolet degradation, we recommend that the hitch be replaced every five years under normal use. In sunny or smoggy locations or for trailers that are stored outdoors, the hitch should be replaced every two to three years for safety. Replace your hitch or tongue if there are any signs of damage—i.e., cracks, dents, scratches.

When ordering a replacement hitch, you must specify that your Burley trailer is equipped with a square tongue. Trailers with round tongues require a different hitch.

Fabric Care

Your Burley Cub is manufactured from a tough, durable polyester. The fabric is coated for waterproofness and is highly resistant to fading. It can be easily cleaned with any mild soap or detergent and warm water. For more persistent soil, use a nylon bristle brush. When not in use, store your trailer in a dry, well-ventilated area; wipe it dry before storing to help avoid mildew.

Polyester fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. To extend the life of your fabric, as well as the hitch and other components, do not store your trailer in direct sunlight. Do not use bleach for cleaning, as it will damage the fabric. The fabric is an important part of your trailer’s structure, and provides a safety envelope for child passengers. Replace any fabric that is ripped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged.

Burley offers a durable polyester storage cover to protect your Cub from the ele- ments when it is not in use. Contact your Burley dealer for details.

Trailer with damaged or ripped fabric components can permit harmful contact between child and spinning spokes or moving pavement, and cause serious injury. Replace damaged components.

Suspension Elastomer Maintenance

Periodically inspect suspension elastomers for wear, cuts, or damage. Should you need them, replacements are available from your authorized Burley dealer and are easily installed.
