Introduction
Once you’ve done the initial assembly and read the safety guidelines, you’re ready to go! Before trailering, be sure you have the safety harness, seat belt, tow bar, trailer wheels and hitch securely attached.
Note: Any reference to left or right is made in direction of travel, as if you were standing behind the trailer,

Safety Guidelines
WARNING
BICYCLINGWITHATRAILER,ANDBICYCLINGINGENERAL,CAN BE HAZARDOUS. FAILURETO OBSERVEANYOFTHE SAFETY GUIDELINESINTHISMANUALCOULDRESULTINANACCIDENT AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1.Inspect and maintain your bicycle and trailer regularly. See “Safety Checklists” on page 11.
2.Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer is heavier and less responsive. Avoid sudden swerving, rocks and curbs. Experiment with the loaded trailer in an uncongested area until you become familiar with it.
3.The total weight limit for the trailer, children and/or cargo is 75 lbs (34 kg) for single passenger trailers and 100 lbs (40 kg by law in Europe) for double passenger trailers. Load children and/or cargo securely in the center of the trailer, forward of the axle and as low as possible.
4.The trailer seat is intended for 1 or 2 children who are old enough to wear a helmet, sit upright without physical support, and with adequate neck strength to hold their heads upright while trailering, unless using Burley- approved infant accessory seat. A physician should evaluate anyone who is of questionable developmental age for trailering.
Note: Go to www.burley.com to see Burley’s line of infant seats and adapters for younger children.
5.The maximum age for passengers is 6 years. Never carry children whose seated height (with helmet) exceeds
4 inches (100mm) below the internal roll bar.
6.Fasten the seat belt and shoulder harnesses so that each child is held securely. Seat a single child in the center. Periodically check the placement of the shoulder straps, especially on sleeping children.
7.Make sure children cannot put a finger into the wheel spokes.
8.Instruct children not to bounce or lean, as a weight shift could cause the trailer to tip over.
9.To protect children from flying debris, always use your cover. Never leave children unattended. Check children frequently, especially during hot or cold weather.
10.Observe recommended speed limits: a maximum of 15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads and
5mph (8 km/h) or less when turning or on uneven roads.
11.Set your parking brake before removing your children or cargo.
12.Never pull your trailer with a motorized vehicle.
13.The cyclist and passengers must wear helmets.
14.Only use
15.Clamp the hitch securely to the bicycle frame, and check for a tight attachment before each ride.
16.Use the safety flag.
17.Do not make alterations to the trailer. Contact your Authorized Burley Dealer or go to www.burley.com for replacement of any damaged,
18.Do not use your trailer on icy roads or when inclement weather makes cycling hazardous.
19.The use of a mirror on your bicycle is recommended.
20.For emergencies, breakdowns or flat tires, pull completely off the road and move your children to a safe area before doing repairs.
