Install Tongue To fa cil i tate tongue in stal la tion, tip your Bur ley Bee frame onto its back end. If you are working on a rough or dirty sur face, lay down a cloth or other protective barrier.
Insert the safety fl ag pole through the loop of ½” webbing on the outside of the trailer and into the fl ag pocket at the bottom left hand corner of the trailer as shown below. DO NOT USE YOUR TRAILER WITHOUT THE SAFETY FLAG IN PLACE. Burley Bee Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual...
We recommend reinserting the safety pins in their receptacles for storage or transport to avoid snagging. You can partially fold your Burley Bee as needed. Your options are to fold only the top, remove only the tongue and hitch, remove the quick release wheels, or any combination of the above.
