WARNING
• Never leave the pet unattended.
• DO NOT leash or attach your pet to any part of
the trailer
• Ensure that all locking devices are engaged

when unfolding and folding this product.
• NOT intended for use by children. This product is
not a toy.
• Make sure pet cannot make contact with the
wheel spokes or any other moving parts.
• Be cognizant of exposure hazards to less-active
trailer occupants such as windchill and heat
exhaustion, either by prolonged exposure in
colder temperatures, or by extended periods in
warmer temperatures without adequate ventila-
tion or hydration.
• Items placed on top of the unit may cause
this product to become unstable. Hazardous
conditions may exist if unapproved accessory
items are added to this product. Follow Burley
cargo guidelines when adding Burley approved

• Any load attached to the sides of the trailer will
affect the stability of the vehicle.
• This product is not suitable for running or skating.

ENG DEU
with the rated tire sidewall pressure may lead to
explosion of the tire and possible injury.
• DO NOT maneuver over stairs or other obstacles
while the pet is inside.
• Only use Burley approved accessories. When
attaching an accessory to your trailer make sure
to read and follow all warnings and instructions
that are included with the accessory kit.
• Note: references to the left or right refer to stand-
ing behind the trailer looking forward.
• It is recommended that a qualified bicycle
mechanic perform a safety check of the towing
bicycle before attaching the trailer.
• Before each ride, be sure the trailer does not
interfere with braking, pedaling, or steering of the
bicycle.
• 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 on the rear of the
trailer at all times.
• If you need to come to a stop for any reason, such
as to check on your pet, to make adjustments,
or to address a flat tire, be sure to pull off of the
road completely.
• When using your trailer, you are towing extra
weight and a bigger vehicle. You must allow more
time for braking, slowing, stopping, and starting,
especially when riding downhill, and allow more
room for turns, corners, and passageways.
FRA ESP
• Experiment with the loaded trailer in an uncon-
gested area until you become familiar with how
your bike handles towing a trailer.
• Avoid rocks, curbs, hard braking, and sudden
swerving. Avoid riding over obstacles with one
wheel, as this may cause the trailer to tip over.
• Use good judgment when deciding if weather,
road or traffic conditions are safe to use a Burley
trailer. Recommended temperature limits for
using a Burley trailer are 20°F to 100°F (-7°C
to 38°C).
• Always ride with the mesh windows securely
zipped close to protect pet from flying debris.
• The rider of the bicycle must be at least 16
years old.
• Bicycle trailers pulled by an Electric Powered
Assist Cycle (EPAC) can be restricted by law.
• Recommended speed limits:
– 15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads
– 5 mph (8 km/h) when turning or on uneven roads
• Trailer weight must be properly distributed for
safe handling. The downward force at the end of
the tow bar, where it meets the bike, should be
between 2 lbs and 20 lbs (1 and 9 kg). To measure
this, load your trailer and place next to bathroom
scale. Step on scale and note your weight. While
on scale, lift up the end of the towbar 1 foot (30
cm) off the ground and note weight again. The
weight difference is the downwards force on the
tow bar. If the weight is too low, the rear wheel of
the bicycle could lose traction. If it is too high the
hitch may be overloaded.
