VIII. Trailer Main te nance and Care

Storing Your Burley Cub

We build trailers to last, and often see fi fteen-year-old trailers in use, but even a

Burley trailer will not last forever. When not in use, the trailer shold be stored out of

the sunlight, as extended exposure will cause deterioration of the polyethylene shell,

hitch and fabric.

Your polyethylene shell will need to be replaced if it becomes damaged or cracked.

Periodically inspect all parts of your Burley Cub using section “X. Safety Checklists.”

Hitch and Tongue Maintenance

Your trailer is designed for low maintenance and easy care. Clean and grease the

eyebolt threads on the hitch pe ri od i cal ly to ensure that the eyebolt knob can be

properly tightened.
