Burley Bee Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual
Congratulations!
You’ve just pur chased a Burley® trailer, the lead ing choice of dis crim i nat ing bi cy cle
trailer own ers world wide. Every ef fort has been made to ensure your pur chase is of
top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and thou sands
of miles of happy, safe trailering.
IMPORTANT: Because some of the features and guidelines for
using the Burley Bee merit close attention, it is very im por tant
that you fa mil iar ize yourself with the trailer by reading this
manual all the way through before use. If you have any ques-
tions, we encourage you to contact your Burley dealer.
Introduction
This manual is written sequentially to assist initial assembly. Your Burley Bee is
shipped 95% factory-as sem bled. You need only to mount the refl 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 as sem bly
should take 10-15 minutes. Sub se quent setting up and folding can eas i ly be done in
a couple of minutes, no tools re quired.
Before trailering, be sure you have a thor ough understanding of the safety harness
and of trailer hitch operation. Practice folding and un fold ing 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 at tached. We again request that you read this manual from
start to fi nish before use, referring 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 Bee, supply the new user with this manual. They must
familiarize them selves with all sec tions—especially sections “VIII. Safety Guidelines”
and “IX. Safety Check lists” prior to use. It is es sen tial that they understand the differ-
ences between riding a bicycle with a trailer and without one. It is also essential that
they understand correct wheel at tach ment, setup, folding, and use of the har ness,
safety fl ag, cover, and hitch. Always ensure that both adult and child are wear ing
helmets. Never loan your trailer if it is need of maintenance or repair.
