Hitch must seat properly into stays and not interfere with racks, bags, or fi ttings. In spect hitch and tongue frequently for damage or loose fasteners. Interfering parts or damaged hitch can cause an ac ci dent resulting in se ri ous injury. Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32° Fahrenheit as hitch rubber fl ex con nec tor can become brittle and pos si bly break, caus ing an accident re sult ing in serious injury. VIII. Trailer Main te nance and Care Storing Your Burley Cub We build trailers to last, and often see fifteen-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. Burley Cub Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual Because of ultraviolet deg rada 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 detergent 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 elements 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. Burley Cub Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual IX. Safety Guidelines Bicycling with a trailer is different from bi cycling without one, in ways which aren’t always obvious. It is therefore essential that you read and un der stand all of the fol low ing safety guide lines—in addition to the warn ings and in structions in the previous sections—prior to using your trailer. Before loaning your trailer to others, make sure they too un der stand its proper, safe use. Contact your dealer or Burley if any of these in structions are un clear. Bicycling with a trailer, and bicycling in general, can be hazardous. Failure to ob serve any of section “IX. Safety Guidelines” could result in an ac ci dent and serious injury or death. Use Well-Maintained Bicycle and Trailer Use a bicycle which is in good working con di tion, with good brakes. A frequent safety check of your bicycle is essential. Inspect and maintain your trailer as out lined in section “X. Safety Checklists” of this manual. Have your Burley dealer main tain and inspect your bicycle and trailer if you are not qualified to do so. Loading Your Trailer Do not overload the trailer. Maximum trailer load limit for children and/or cargo is 100 lbs. When placing chil dren or cargo into the trailer, keep the load centered or forward of the axle. Pack the load as low as possible and make sure items cannot shift around. Loose, heavy objects can injure passengers in event of a sudden stop or tip over. Starting and Stopping Be cause of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer will be slower to start up and stop, and because of its length it requires more time to cross streets or paths.Your entire vehicle is heavier and less responsive. This means you should think further ahead in an tic i pat ing stops, turns, and starts. Note that your trailer extends out further on the left; allow...
