Congratulations!  
Introduction  
Your Burley® trailer is the leading choice of discriminating bicycle trailer  
owners worldwide. Every effort has been made to ensure your purchase is  
of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and  
miles of happy, safe trailering.  
Your Burley is shipped 95% factory-assembled. You need only to mount the  
reflectors, install the tongue, attach the wheels, handle, brake, and safety  
flag, and snap the cover into place. Once you’ve read the safety guidelines,  
you’re ready to go. Initial assembly should take 10-15 minutes. Before  
trailering, be sure you have a thorough understanding of the safety harness  
and of trailer hitch operation. Practice folding and unfolding your trailer.  
Make sure the trailer wheels and hitch are securely attached.  
IMPORTANT:  
Because some of the features and guidelines for using  
your Burley merit close attention, it is very important that you familiar-  
ize yourself with the trailer by reading this entire manual before use. If  
you have any questions, please contact your Authorized Burley Dealer or  
Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of travel,  
NOTE:  
as if you were sitting in the child seat looking forward.  
Safety Guidelines  
Bicycling with a trailer is different from bicycling without one, in ways which  
aren’t always obvious. It is essential that you read and understand all of the  
following safety guide lines—in addition to the warnings and instructions in  
the following sections—prior to using your trailer. Contact your Authorized  
Burley Dealer or Burley if any of these instructions are unclear.

Do not overload the trailer. Maximum trailer load limit for children and/or  
cargo is 100 lbs. (40 kg. in Europe). When placing children or cargo into the  
trailer, keep the load centered or forward of the axle. Pack the load as low as  
possible and make sure items cannot shift around. Loose, heavy objects can  
injure passengers in event of a sudden stop or tip over.

BURLEY TRAILER OWNER’S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL  
Starting and Stopping  
Wear Helmets  
Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer will be  
slower to start and stop, and because of its length, requires more time to  
cross streets or paths. Your entire vehicle is heavier and less responsive.  
Think ahead and anticipate stops, turns and starts. Note that your trailer ex-  
tends further out on the left; allow for this difference when turning, passing  
pedestrians or approaching obstacles, such as posts on bike paths. Experi-  
ment with a loaded trailer in an uncongested area to become familiar with  
how your heavier, longer vehicle responds.  
Numerous studies have shown that head injury is the leading cause of bi-  
cycling fatalities. Helmets prevent or reduce bicyclists’ head injuries; it is  
essential that both cyclist and passengers use approved bicycling helmets  
at all times.  
Proper Wheels and Tires are Essential  
Use only the factory-supplied wheels, and keep them properly maintained.  
Inflate tires to 30–35 P.S.I. and check pressure before each use. Do not use  
higher-pressure tires or knobbies. We recommend using only tires with street  
tread.  
Prevent Trailer Tip Over  
Like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip over. Do not  
pull your trailer over curbs or hit holes or other road obstructions. Instruct  
children not to bounce or lean, which can cause a shift of weight. Do not  
make high-speed turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always corner  
with caution at 5 mph or less, as the trailer cannot lean into a turn the way  
a bicycle can. Do not travel faster than 15 mph—all road irregularities and  
your slower reaction time are greatly magnified.  
Know Your Trailer Hitch  
Clamp the hitch securely to the bicycle frame, and check for a tight attach-  
ment each time you use the trailer. Refer to “Hitching Your Burley to Your  
Bicycle” and “Maintenance and Storage” sections of this manual for proper  
installation, use and maintenance of your hitch.  
Use Your Flag  
Always use the safety flag—it will help make you more visible to motorists and  
WARNING  
other cyclists.  
Trailers can tip over, causing damage to trailer and serious injury to  
cyclist or passengers. AVOID causes of tip over, especially:  
Protect Your Children  
Use the shoulder harness, lap belt, and child helmets on your children at  
all times. Always fasten the seat belt so that each child is held securely. For  
maximum stability and safety, seat a single child in the center of the trailer.  
Periodically check placement of the shoulder straps, especially for sleeping  
children. Make sure children cannot put a finger into the wheel spokes.  
• Children leaning or bouncing  
• Hitting potholes, curbs, other  
road obstructions  
• Sudden swerving  
• Off-banked turns  
• Improper wheel installation  
• Improper tire inflation  
Taking turns too fast  
Observe Age and Height Restrictions  
No Motorized Vehicles  
Never pull your Burley trailer with a motorized vehicle, as the increased ac-  
celeration and speed could damage the trailer or cause it to tip over.  
The trailer seat is intended only for children old enough to wear a helmet  
and sit upright and alone. Adequate neck strength is required to hold his/her  
head upright while trailering. A physician should evaluate anyone who is of  
questionable developmental age for trailering. Never carry a child whose sit-  
ting height (with helmet) is above the roll bar, because their chance of injury  
is significantly higher in the event of a tip over.  
Always Use Your Cover  
To protect your children from flying debris, always use your cover. Never leave  
children unattended in direct sunlight, as heat buildup in the trailer can  
cause serious harm. Open or close the vinyl window and periodically check  
to make sure your children are comfortable.

First, verify that the tires are inflated to 30-35 P.S.I. Tip the trailer frame  
onto its rear end. With the quick-release lever in the “OPEN” position, insert  
the wheel axle assembly completely into the hollow trailer axle, making sure  
that the horizontal shaft goes all the way into the axle. Tighten the thumb  
nut, so that you feel resistance halfway though tightening the lever. Once the  
wheel is fully seated in the hollow axle, position the quick-release lever so  
that it is aimed to the rear of the trailer in the “CLOSED” position (the lever  
is marked for OPEN or CLOSED positions). Repeat for the other wheel. Note:  
wheels are not centered on the axle.

Two Passengers, All Models (Except Solo ):  
Hitching your Burley to Your Bicycle  
For two children, use both shoulder harnesses and two outer crotch straps.  
The Burley standard trailer hitch was designed to quickly and safely attach  
to virtually all types of bicycles. It is attached to the left rear dropout (the  
non-chainring side) of your bicycle.  
1. If your trailer was set up for single-child use, reverse the process above in  
the Single Passenger section. Set up the restraint system for two children,  
with the male portion of each Y-buckle facing the center of each  
seating position.  
1. Remove the quick release lever assembly from your bike and set it aside.  
2. Line up the hole on the flat side of the hitch upper arm with the left  
rear dropout hole.  
2. Attach the center support strap with the O-ring.  
3. Seat the first child on one side of  
the trailer.  
3. Reassemble the quick release assembly through the hitch and dropout,  
but don’t tighten it yet.  
4. Snap shoulder straps into the Y-buckle,  
with the buckle positioned at the child’s  
sternum.  
4. Slide the hitch receiver end of the tongue between the two hitch side  
arms, and line up the holes. The hitch should clear any racks, bags, or  
fittings you have on your bicycle. If there is any interference, contact  
your Authorized Burley Dealer.  
5. Make sure the shoulder straps are adjusted  
so that the child cannot move too far  
forward in the seat.  
5. Open the retaining pin and insert the pin through the holes.  
6. Rotate the pin’s spring clip and close the pin.  
6. Repeat for the second child.  
7. Now tighten the quick release lever, with the lever pointing to the rear  
of the bike. When properly adjusted, you will feel resistance halfway  
through tightening the lever (when the lever is pointing straight out  
away from the bike).  
7. Fasten and adjust both lap belts so they  
are snug.  
8. Wrap the safety strap around the inside of the chain stay twice and then  
over the hitch body. Fasten the hook to the D-ring on the underside of  
the tongue end.  
WARNING  
Child and cyclist must wear helmets when trailering. Helmets  
can prevent or significantly reduce head injury in event of accident.  
The junction of Y-buckle must be positioned at child’s sternum to work  
correctly. Belts or buckles positioned near your child’s neck can cause  
discomfort or serious injury. Check child periodically to ensure that  
he/she has not slipped from correct seated position.  
WARNING  
Hook fastened to  
The quick release lever must be in  
the closed position. Do not operate  
the trailer without the hitch safety  
strap properly installed. A dangling  
safety strap can contact spokes  
and damage the rear wheel or  
cause an accident resulting in  
serious injury. The hitch must  
not interfere with racks, bags,  
or fittings. Inspect the hitch and  
tongue frequently for damage or  
loose fasteners. Interfering parts  
or damaged hitch can cause an  
accident resulting in serious injury.

Safety Checklists  
Before Each Ride:  
Maintenance and Storage  
o Wheels tightly attached  
WARNING  
o Tire pressure at 30–35 P.S.I.  
Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below ꢀ2˚F (0 C), as hitch  
rubber flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing  
accident resulting in serious injury.  
o Hitch properly secured with safety strap in place  
o Locked retaining pins for tongue and roll bar  
o Maximum load 100 lbs. (40 kg. in Europe)  
o Bicycle safety check, especially brakes and tires  
o Helmets for children and rider  
Hitch and Tongue Maintenance  
Beeonly: Lubricate the tongue-pivot spindle twice a year for normal use, or  
monthly if used in wet or salty conditions.  
o Safety flag in place  
1. With a medium flat-blade screwdriver, remove inner cap on the  
tongue end.  
o Both seat buckles in rear of seat are securely fastened  
Monthly Checklist  
o Inspect tongue and hitch for damage, scratches, or loose fasteners  
2. Using a grease gun equipped with needle-type injector, squirt grease  
into small hole in brass bushing until old grease flushes out  
bushing ends.  
o Inspect tongue pivot for smooth operation: tongue should fold and  
unfold freely; lubricate brass bushing if necessary (Bee only)  
3. Replace inner cap on tongue end to protect pivot bushing.  
o Inspect frame tubing and hardware for cracks, damage, or loose parts  
o Inspect tires for wear and cracks  
IMPORTANT:  
For any spindle service other than lubrication, contact  
your Authorized Burley Dealer.  
o Inspect wheels for trueness and cracks  
o Inspect wheel bearings for wear  
Fabric Care  
o Inspect fabric parts, child seat, and harness for rips, abrasion, or miss-  
Your trailer body is made of a tough, waterproof polyester fabric, which is high-  
ly resistant to fading. It can be easily cleaned with any mild soap or detergent  
and warm water. For heavy soiling, use a nylon bristle brush. 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 protective environment for child passen-  
gers. Replace any fabric that is ripped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged.  
ing or damaged hardware  
o Contact Authorized Burley Dealer for repairs/replacement of any  
damaged or worn-out parts  
Polyester fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sun-  
light. To extend the life of your trailer, wipe it dry (to help avoid mildew) and  
store it out of direct sunlight in a dry, well-ventilated area. Burley offers a du-  
rable polyester storage cover to protect your trailer from the elements when it  
is not in use. Contact your Authorized Burley Dealer for details.  
WARNING  
Trailer with damaged or ripped fabric components can permit harmful  
contact between child and spokes or pavement, and cause serious  
injury. Replace damaged components immediately.
