trailer own ers world wide. Every ef fort has been made to ensure your pur chase is of
top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and thou sands
of miles of happy, safe trailering.
IMPORTANT: Because some of the features and guidelines for using the Burley
Nomad merit close attention, it is very im por tant that you fa mil iar ize yourself with
the trailer by reading this manual all the way through before use. If you have any
questions, we encourage you to contact your Burley dealer.
Introduction
This manual is written sequentially to assist initial assembly. Your Burley Nomad is
shipped 95% factory-as sem bled. You need only to mount the re fl ec tors, install the
tongue, attach the wheels, side panels, roll bar and safety fl ag, and snap the cover
into place. Once you’ve read the safety guidelines, you’re ready to go. Initial as sem bly
should take 10-15 min utes. Sub se quent setting up and knockdown can eas i ly be
done in a couple of minutes, no tools re quired.
Before trailering, be sure you have a thor ough understanding of the safety harness
and of trailer hitch operation. Practice folding and un fold ing your trailer; it can easily
be done quickly, no tools required. Check to see that the trailer wheels and hitch are
securely at tached. We again request that you read this manual from start to fi nish
before use, refering to it as necessary in the future.
NOTE: Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of travel,
as if you were standing behind the trailer looking forward.

When Loaning or Selling Your Trailer

If you loan or sell your Burley Nomad, supply the new user with this manual.
They must familiarize them selves with all sec tions—especially sections “VII.
Safety Guide lines” and “VIII. Safety Check lists” prior to use. It is es sen tial that they
understand the differences between riding a bicycle with a trailer and without one. It
is also essential that they understand correct wheel at tach ment, setup, knock down,
safety fl ag, cover, and hitch. Never loan your trailer if it is in need of maintenance or
repair.
