5.  
Before You Ride:  
Check before each use:  
• Child weighs less than 85 lbs (32kg).  
• Adult lead cyclist weighs at least twice as much as child.  
• Trailercycle rack is securely attached to bicycle.  
• Trailercycle frame coupling bolts are fully tightened.  
• Hitch pivots, knob, and safety pins are securely assembled.  
• Hitch is tightly attached to rack and safety pins are fully engaged.  
• Handlebars, seat, and wheel are secured.  
• Trailercycle tire is inflated to recommended pressure on tire sidewall.  
• Both riders are wearing helmets.  
• Safety flag and reflectors are in place.  
• Bicycle is in good working order, especially brakes and tires.  
• Trailercycle does not interfere with the braking, pedaling, or steering of the bicycle.  
Check monthly:  
• Inspect hitch for damage and loose fasteners.  
• Inspect hitch pivots for smooth operation.  
• Ensure hitch bolt and corresponding threads on the trailercycle rack are clean and  
lubricated; keep lubricant clear of bike’s brake and rim surfaces.  
• Ensure chain is clean and lubricated.  
• Check and tighten all hardware on both trailercycle and trailercycle rack, especially  
frame coupling bolts and rack mounting bolts.  
• Inspect frame tubing and hardware for cracks, damage, or loose parts.  
• Inspect tire for cracks or worn spots.  
• Repair or replace any damaged or worn-out parts.  
Contact your authorized Burley dealer for replacement of any damaged or worn-out parts.  
6.  
Safety Guidelines:  
• Trailercycle shall only be pulled by a responsible adult.  
• Burley trailercycles are designed for children ages 4-10 with sufficient coordination to pedal  
and adequate strength to hold on to the handlebars tightly. If your child is physically or  
mentally impaired, consult your physician as to whether your child can safely ride.  
• Both riders must wear helmets.  
• Adjust the seat and handlebar to the correct heights for each rider. Ensure that the minimum  
insertion mark, or at least 2 1/2” (64mm), on the seat post remain inside the frame.  
• Before your passenger gets on and off the trailercycle, come to a complete stop, straddle  
your bicycle and hold it securely with the brakes engaged and both feet on the ground. Never  
rely on a kickstand to secure the trailercycle.  
• Practice with your child in an uncongested area. Pulling the trailercycle adds length and  
weight to your bicycle; allow for ample time and distance to stop, start, and turn.  
• Take short rides; stop frequently. Instruct your child to keep their feet on pedals and hands on  
handlebars at all times.  
• Recommended speed limits:  
15mph (24km/h) on smooth, straight roads  
5mph (8km/h) when turning or on uneven roads  
Do noT exceed weight limit by attaching a rack, panniers, or other cargo to the trailercycle.  
Do noT attach another trailer to the trailercycle.  
• Keep the tire inflated to pressure recommended on the tire sidewall. Check pressure before  
each use. Do not use higher-pressure or knobby tires. Be sure axle nuts are properly tightened.  
Do noT use off-road.  
Do noT use at night without proper lights on both cycles.  
• Avoid rocks, curbs, hard braking, and sudden swerving.  
It is recommended that a qualified bicycle mechanic does a safety check of the towing bicycle  
before attaching the trailercycle.  
It is recommended that a rearview mirror be used on the bicycle.  
Always comply with local regulations when using the trailer on public roadways. Obey all local  
requirements for lighting. The red reflector that came with the trailercycle must remain attached  
and visible at all times. If you need to come to a stop for any reason, such as to check on your  
child, to make adjustments, or to address a flat tire, be sure to pull off of the road completely.  
Use good judgement when deciding if weather, road, or traffic conditions are safe to use a Burley.  
Failure to comply with the instructions and safety guidelines in this manual could result in  
serious injury or death of the passenger or rider.  
7.  
Maintaining Your Burley:  
• Inspect chain, chainring and rear cog(s); replace if worn.  
• Clean and lubricate pivot points on derailleur (Piccolo only), wipe excess lubricant  
to prevent dirt buildup.  
• Inspect derailleur cable for fraying and replace as necessary (Piccolo only).  
• Adjust shifting as necessary (Piccolo only).  
• Ensure that chain is not loose (Kazoo only); tighten chain by moving hub  
back if needed.  
• Check wheel for trueness; inspect for cracks at spoke hole or sidewall.  
Retrue or replace if necessary.  
• Verify that bottom bracket spins smoothly and doesn’t exhibit any play; tighten fixing  
bolts for crank arms.  
• Disassemble bearings in hitch and hub and repack with grease if needed.  
• Repair or replace any worn-out parts.
