Reclining Seat, Helmet Pocket, Child Seat Divider - Burley d’Lite Owner's Instruction & Safety Manual

VII. Child Seat Recliner™, Recessed Helmet
Pocket™, and Child Seat Divider™
IMPORTANT: The trailer seat is intended only for children old
enough to wear a helmet and sit upright by themselves unassisted.
Your child must have enough neck strength to hold his or her head
up while trailering.
Using the Child Seat Recliner
The child seat can be reclined for added comfort by making the
following adjustments:
• Loosen tension on lower buckle strap (A) located behind child
seat.
• Connect/tighten upper buckle strap (B), also located behind
child seat.
• For maximum recline, the lower buckle strap (A) must be
loose to allow seat to move backward.
NOTE: For added safety, always keep upper and lower buckle straps
fastened.

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.
XI. Safety Guidelines
Bicycling with a trailer is different from bicycling without one, in
ways which aren't always obvious. It is therefore essential that you
read and understand all of the following safety guidelines—in
addition to the warnings and instructions in the previous sections—
prior to using your trailer. Before loaning your trailer to others,
make sure they too understand its proper, safe use. Contact your
dealer or Burley if any of these instructions are unclear.
Bicycling with a trailer, and bicycling in general, can be hazardous. Failure
to observe any of section "XI. Safety Guidelines" could result in accident
and serious injury or death.
Use Well-Maintained Bicycle and Trailer
Use a bicycle which is in good working condition, with good brakes.
A frequent safety check of your bicycle is essential. Inspect and
maintain your trailer as outlined in section "XII. Safety Checklists"
of this manual. Have your Burley dealer maintain 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 children 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.
