OWNER'S INSTRUCTION & SAFETY MANUAL
When used as a bicycle trailer:
• It is recommended that a qualified bicycle mechanic perform 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.
• 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 pet, 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 riding 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 trailer.
Recommended temperature limits for using a Burley trailer are 20°F to 100°F (-7°C to 38°C).
• Always ride with the mesh windows securely zipped close to protect pet from flying debris.
• 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.
WARNING
Your pet moving around in the trailer will shift the weight load on the tow bar of the trailer
and transfer directly to the bicycle. You should expect this and be prepared for some
increased push or pull on your bicycle as this happens.
