Completing Assembly - Burley d’Lite Owner's Instruction & Safety Manual

X. Trailer Maintenance and Care
Hitch and Tongue Maintenance
Your trailer is designed for low maintenance and easy care. Clean
and grease the eyebolt threads on the hitch periodically to ensure
that the eyebolt knob can be properly tightened.
Because of ultraviolet degradation, we recommend that the hitch be
replaced every five 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, scratches.
Your Burley d'lite trailer comes with an easy-to-lubricate tongue-
pivot spindle. Lubricate twice a year for normal use and monthly for
heavier use—i.e., use in wet or salty conditions.
1. Gently remove inner cap on the end of tongue
with a medium flat-blade screwdriver.
2. Using grease gun equipped with needle type
injector, squirt grease into small hole in brass
bushing until old grease flushes out ends of
bushing.
3. Replace inner cap on end of tongue to protect
pivot bushing from dirt and moisture.
IMPORTANT: For any spindle service other than lubrication, con-
tact your Burley Dealer.
Fabric Care
Your Burley d'Lite is manufactured from a tough, durable pack-
cloth. The nylon fabric is coated for waterproofness and is highly
resistant to fading. The fabric can be easily cleaned with any mild
soap or detergent and warm water. For more persistent 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.
Nylon fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed 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 damage the nylon. The nylon fabric
is an important part of your trailer's structure, and provides a safety
envelope for child passengers. Replace any nylon fabric that is
ripped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged.

Using the Recessed Helmet Pocket
The helmet pocket on the child seat is designed to provide added
room for the back side of a child's helmet. The seatback can be
modified by making the following adjustments:
• Loosen tension on upper buckle strap (B) located behind child
seat (illustration p. 10).
• Connect/tighten lower buckle strap (A) located behind child
seat (illustration p. 10).
.
The size and shape of the helmet pocket can be adjusted by adding/
subtracting tension from the upper buckle strap (B).
Using the Child Seat Divider
This feature is designed to provide additional comfort and structure
to the child seat by limiting two passengers from sliding to the center
of the seat.
• Connect center crotch strap O-ring to snap hook located on the
front splash guard.
• Seat divider strap tension can be adjusted using the plastic
slider on the crotch strap.
NOTE: We recommend that the Child Seat Divider feature be used when
transporting two (2) passengers only. Single passenger loads require
placing child in the center of the seat and use of the center crotch strap as
part of the safety harness.
VIII. Completing Assembly
At this time your trailer is nearly assembled. Snap the fabric tail gate
and splash guard to the upper snap studs on the side rails if you
haven't already done so. NOTE: It's easier to snap these when the
trailer is folded; they can remain snapped in place during folding
and unfolding.
The elastic bungee cord is handy for securing odd-sized loads. When
not in use, carry it by hooking it across the side rails in back. The
bungee cord is also intended to be used for strapping down the tongue
and hitch when the trailer is folded, to prevent the tongue from moving.
Pull it across the tongue and hook it to the bolts on the inner frame (near
the rear of the trailer).
