Congratulations!
You’ve just purchased a Burley
®
trailer, the leading choice of discriminat-
ing bicycle trailer owners worldwide. Every effort has been made to ensure
your purchase is of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with
many years and thousands of miles of happy, safe trailering.
IMPORTANT: Because some of the features and guidelines for using the
Burley-Solo merit close attention, it is very important that you familiarize
yourself with the trailer by reading this manual all the way through before
use. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact your Burley
dealer.
Introduction
This manual is written sequentially to assist initial assembly. Your Bur-
ley-Solo is shipped 95% factory-assembled. You need only to mount the
re fl ectors, install the tongue, attach the wheels, side panels, roll bar and
safety fl ag, and snap the cover into place. Once you’ve read the safety
guidelines, you’re ready to go. Initial assembly should take 10-15 minutes.
Subsequent setting up and knockdown can easily be done in a couple of
minutes, no tools required.
Before trailering, be sure you have a thorough understanding of the safety
harness and of trailer hitch operation. Practice folding and unfolding your
trailer; it can easily be done in less than a minute, no tools required. Check
to see that the trailer wheels and hitch are securely attached. We again
request that you read this manual from start to fi nish before use, refering
to it as necessary in the future.
NOTE: Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of travel, as if
you were sitting in the child seat looking forward.
When Loaning or Selling Your Trailer
If you loan or sell your Burley-Solo, supply the new user with this manual.
They must familiarize themselves with all sections—especially sections “X.
Safety Guidelines” and “XI. Safety Checklists” prior to use. It is essential
that they understand the differences between riding a bicycle with a trailer
and without one. It is also essential that they understand correct wheel
attachment, setup, knockdown, and use of the harness, safety fl ag, cover,
and hitch. Always ensure that both adult and child are wearing helmets.
Never loan your trailer if it is need of maintenance or repair.
