Burley Nomad Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual
Do not use or store trailer at tem per a tures below 32˚ Fahrenheit as
hitch rubber fl ex con nec tor can become brittle and pos si bly break,
caus ing an accident re sult ing in serious injury.
VI. Trailer Maintenance and CareHitch and Tongue Maintenance
Your trailer is designed for low main te nance and easy care. Clean and grease the
eyebolt threads on the hitch pe ri od i cal ly to ensure that the eyebolt knob can be
prop er ly tightened.
Because of ultraviolet deg ra da tion, we recommend that the hitch be replaced every
fi ve 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,
scratch es.
The Burley Nomad tongue pivot requires periodic lu bri ca tion to enable ease of
move ment and prevent rust. Lubricate using a light machine oil once a year for
normal use, and every three months for heavier use—i.e., frequent tongue removal
or use in wet or salty conditions.
Fabric/Shell Care
Your Burley Nomad is manufactured from tough, durable polyester. The fabric is
coated for waterproofness and is highly resistant to fading. The fabric can be easily
cleaned with any mild soap or deter gent 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 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.
