Using The Seat Harness - Burley d’Lite Owner's Instruction & Safety Manual

Folding Your Burley d'Lite
Folding your Burley d'Lite is basically the reverse of unfolding it.
Familiarize yourself with unfolding the trailer as outlined above. To
fold your trailer:
1. Remove the safety flag.
2. Remove the safety pin at the roll bar and disconnect the two
buckles at the back of the child seat. Fold the roll bar against the
side panel. Fold the left side panel first, then the right side panel.
3. Remove the wheels and store them in a safe area.
4. Remove the safety pin at the tongue/hitch receptacle and fold
the tongue hitch back 180˚. Hold the tongue down using the
bungee cord.
We recommend reinserting the
safety pins in their receptacles for
storage or transport to avoid
snagging.
You can partially fold your Burley
d'Lite as needed. Your options are
to fold only the side panels, fold
only the tongue and hitch, remove
the quick-release wheels, or any
combination of the above. Do not
operate your Burley d'Lite in a
partially folded condition.
VI. Using the Seat Harness
IMPORTANT: Only passengers who are able to wear a helmet and
sit upright, unassisted should ride in a child trailer. Adequate neck
strength is required to hold head upright while trailering. A physi-
cian should evaluate anyone who is of questionable developmental
age for trailering.
Crotch strap O-ring must be positioned at child's sternum to work correctly.
An O-ring positioned near child's neck can cause discomfort or serious
injury. Check child periodically to ensure he/she is seated correctly.

in your legs, arms, and hands. Never allow a child or adolescent to
pull your trailer because it is likely that they lack the necessary
physical ability and judgement.
No Headphones or Other Distraction
Do not bicycle or stroll with headphones, radios, or other distrac-
tions. You must be able to hear surrounding traffic, and concentrate
on safe bicycling at all times.
No Motorized Vehicles
Your Burley d'Lite is only intended for use with pedal-powered
cycles; never pull it with a motorized vehicle, as the increased
acceleration and speed could damage the trailer or cause the trailer
to tip over.
Avoid Riding in Traffic
We recommend against riding in traffic. If you must ride in traffic,
do not pull your trailer on highways, busy streets, or on streets
unsafe for bicycling with children. Never assume that you will be
given the right-of-way, even if it is legally yours. Your child is a
precious load; his or her safety should not be entrusted to a car
driver whose attention or regard for bike riders is unknown. Use care
when pulling your trailer on bike routes or along bike lanes,
especially at intersections.
Ride on Clean, Paved Surfaces
Your Burley d'Lite is not intended for off-road use. Towing a child off
road can be especially dangerous. Any bumps or irregularities could
cause tip over and serious injury to the bicyclist or passenger, or
damage to the trailer.
Cross over railroad tracks, curb cutouts, and road grooves at 90˚.
Riding parallel or at acute angle to such obstacles can cause a crash,
Riding When It's Slippery
Be especially careful in wet, rainy, or freezing conditions. Your
ability to control and stop your bicycle when towing a trailer is
greatly impaired. In wet conditions apply your brakes periodically to
be sure the rims and brake pads are clear of water. Avoid forceful
braking which can cause dangerous skidding. Ride slowly and allow
a greater margin of safety when starting, stopping, and turning.
