Do not operate trailer without hitch safety strap properly installed. A

dangling safety strap can contact spokes and damage rear wheel or cause

accident resulting in serious injury.

Hitch must seat properly into stays and not interfere with racks, bags, or

fittings. Inspect hitch and tongue frequently for damage or loose fasteners.

Interfering parts or damaged hitch can cause accident resulting in serious

injury.

Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32˚ Fahrenheit as hitch

rubber flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing

accident resulting in serious injury.

IMPORTANT: Read and study sections “IX. Safety Guidelines,” and

“X. Safety Checklists” before using your Burley-Cub.

IX. Safety Guidelines

Bicycling with a trailer is different from bicycling without one, in

ways that aren’t always obvious. It is therefore essential that you

read and understand all of the following safety guidelines—in

addition to the warnings and instructions in the previous sections—

prior to using your trailer. Before loaning your trailer to others,

make sure they too understand its proper, safe use. Contact your

dealer or Burley if any of these instructions are unclear.

Bicycling with a trailer, and bicycling in general, can be hazardous. Failure

to observe any of section “IX. Safety Guidelines” could result in accident

and serious injury or death.

Use Well-Maintained Bicycle and Trailer

Use a bicycle that is in good working condition, with good brakes.

A frequent safety check of your bicycle is essential. Inspect and

maintain your trailer as outlined in section “X. Safety Checklists” of

this manual. Have your Burley dealer maintain and inspect your

bicycle and trailer if you are not qualified to do so.

Loading Your Trailer

Do not overload the trailer. Maximum trailer load limit for children

and/or cargo is 100 lbs. 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.

Starting and Stopping

Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer

will be slower to start up and stop, and because of its length it

requires more time to cross streets or paths. Your entire vehicle is

heavier and less responsive. This means you should think further

ahead in anticipating stops, turns, and starts. Note that your trailer

extends out further on the left; allow for this difference when

turning, passing pedestrians, or approaching obstacles (like posts
