OWNER'S INSTRUCTION & SAFETY MANUAL
When used as a bicycle trailer:
• It is recommended that a qualified bicycle mechanic does a safety check of the towing bicycle before
attaching the trailer.
• Before each ride, be sure the trailer does not interfere with braking, pedaling or steering of the bicycle.
• It is recommended that a rearview mirror be used on the bike.
• Always comply with local regulations when using the trailer on public roadways.
• Never ride a bicycle at night without adequate lighting.
• Obey all local legal requirements for lighting.
• The red reflectors that came with the trailer must remain attached and visible on the rear of the trailer
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.
•
When using your trailer, you are towing extra weight and a bigger vehicle. You must allow more time
for braking, slowing, stopping and starting, especially when driving downhill, and allow more room for
turns, corners, and passageways.
• Experiment with the loaded trailer in an uncongested area until you become familiar with how your bike
handles towing a trailer.
• Avoid rocks, curbs, hard braking and sudden swerving. Avoid riding over obstacles with one wheel, as
this may cause the trailer to tip over.
• Use good judgment when deciding if weather, road or traffic conditions are safe to use a Burley.
Recommended temperature limits for using a Burley trailer are 20°F to 100°F (-7°C to 38°C).
• Children must be able to sit upright without support and have adequate neck strength to support their
heads before being carried in a trailer. Consult a pediatrician to determine if a child is of sufficient
developmental age to be carried in a bicycle trailer.
• Always ride with the cover down to protect children from flying debris.
• Passengers must wear a bicycle helmet that meets applicable safety standards.
• The rider of the bicycle must be at least 16 years old.
• Bicycle trailers pulled by an Electric Powered Assist Cycle (EPAC) can be restricted by law.
• Recommended speed limits:
- 15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads
- 5 mph (8 km/h) when turning or on uneven roads
• Trailer weight must be properly distributed for safe handling. The downward force at the end of the tow
bar, where it meets the bike, should be between 2 lbs and 20 lbs (1 and 9 kg). To measure this, load
your trailer and place next to bathroom scale. Step on scale and note your weight. While on scale, lift
up the end of the towbar 1 foot (30 cm) off the ground and note weight again. The weight difference is
the downwards force on the tow bar. If the weight is too low, the rear wheel of the bicycle could lose
traction. If it is too high the hitch may be overloaded.
