Burley Cub Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual
Because of ultraviolet deg ra da tion, we recommend that the hitch be replaced every
fi ve years under normal use. In sunny or smoggy locations or for trailers that are
stored outdoors, the hitch should be replaced every two to three years for safety.
Replace your hitch or tongue if there are any signs of damage—i.e., cracks, dents,
scratch es.
When ordering a replacement hitch, you must specify that your Burley trailer is
equipped with a square tongue. Trailers with round tongues require a different
hitch.
Fabric Care
Your Burley Cub is manufactured from a tough, durable polyester. The fabric is
coated for wa ter proof ness and is highly resistant to fading. It can be easily cleaned
with any mild soap or deter gent and warm water. For more per sis tent soil, use a
nylon bristle brush. When not in use, store your trailer in a dry, well-ventilated area;
wipe it dry before storing to help avoid mildew.
Polyester fabric will eventually fade, especially when ex posed to direct sunlight. To
extend the life of your fabric, as well as the hitch and other components, do not
store your trailer in direct sunlight. Do not use bleach for cleaning, as it will dam age
the fabric. The fabric is an important part of your trailer’s structure, and provides a
safety envelope for child pas sen gers. Re place any fabric that is ripped, scuffed, or
oth er wise damaged.
Burley offers a durable polyester storage cover to protect your Cub from the ele-
ments when it is not in use. Contact your Burley dealer for details.
Trailer with damaged or ripped fabric components can permit
harmful contact between child and spinning spokes or moving
pavement, and cause serious injury. Replace damaged
components.
Suspension Elastomer Maintenance
Periodically inspect suspension elastomers for wear, cuts, or damage. Should you
need them, replacements are available from your authorized Burley dealer and are
easily installed.
