Introduction
Once you’ve done the initial assembly and read the safety
guidelines, you’re ready to go! Before trailering, be sure you
have the tow bar, trailer wheels and hitch securely attached.
Note: Any reference to left or right is made in direction
of travel, as if you were standing behind the trailer,
looking forward.
Safety Guidelines
WARNING
BICYCLING WITH A TRAILER, AND BICYCLING IN GENERAL, CAN
BE HAZARDOUS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE ANY OF THE SAFETY
GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT
AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Inspect and maintain your bicycle and trailer regularly.
See “Safety Checklists”.
2. Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle
pulling a trailer is heavier and less responsive. Avoid
sudden swerving, rocks and curbs. Experiment with the
loaded trailer in an uncongested area until you become
familiar with it.
3. The total weight limit for the trailer and cargo is 100 lbs
(40 kg in Europe). Load cargo securely in the center,
forward of the axle and as low as possible.
4. Observe recommended speed limits: a maximum of
15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads and
5 mph (8 km/h) or less when turning or on
uneven roads.
5. Never pull your trailer with a motorized vehicle.
6. The cyclist must wear a helmet.
7. Only use factory-supplied wheels, with the tires inflated
to the pressure recommended on the tire side wall.
Check pressure before each use.
8. Clamp the hitch securely to the bicycle frame, and check
for a tight attachment before each use.
9. Use the safety flag. (Nomad Only)
10. Do not make alterations to the trailer. Contact your
Authorized Burley Dealer or go to www.burley.com for
replacement of any damaged, worn-out or missing parts.
11. Do not use your trailer on icy roads or when inclement
weather makes cycling hazardous.
12. The use of a mirror on your bicycle is recommended.
13. For emergencies, breakdowns or flat tires, pull
completely off the road and move to a safe area before
doing repairs.
