Safety Guidelines

Refer to the bicycle manufacturer's instructions to determine if the bicycle

is suitable for towing a trailer. It is recommended that a qualified bicycle

mechanic does a safety check of the towing bicycle before attaching the

trailer. Prior to each ride, be sure the trailer does not interfere with

braking, pedaling or steering of the bicycle. It is recommended that a

rearview mirror be used on the bike.

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 at all times.

If you need to come to a stop for any reason, be sure to pull off the road

completely.

A bicycle pulling a trailer is heavier and less responsive due to the

trailer's weight. Avoid rocks, curbs, hard braking, sudden swerving and

riding over obstacles with one wheel. Experiment with the loaded trailer

in an uncongested area until you become familiar with the way your bike

handles while towing a trailer.

Use good judgment when deciding if weather, road and/or traffic

conditions are safe to use a Burley.

Failure to comply with the instructions and safety guidelines in this

manual could result in serious injury or death.
