Prevent Trailer Tip Over
Like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip over. Do not
pull your trailer over curbs or hit holes or other road obstructions. Make sure
your load is centered and securely fastened down. Do not make high-speed
turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always corner with caution at
5 mph or less, as the trailer cannot lean into a turn the way a bicycle can.
Do not travel faster than 15 mph—all road irregularities and your slower re-
action time are greatly magnified.
Trailers can tip over, causing damage to the trailer and serious
injury to the cyclist. AVOID causes of tip over, especially:
• Inadequately secured or
centered load
• Hitting potholes, curbs and
other road obstructions
• Taking turns too fast
No Motorized Vehicles
Never pull your Burley trailer with a motorized vehicle, as the increased ac-
celeration and speed could damage the trailer or cause it to tip over.
Carry Cargo Only
The Nomad and Flatbed are designed to carry only cargo. Never use them for
transporting people!
Wear a Helmet
Numerous studies have shown that head injury is the leading cause of bi-
cycling fatalities. Helmets prevent or reduce bicyclists' head injuries; it is
essential that you use an approved bicycling helmet at all times.
Proper Wheels and Tires are Essential
Use only the factory-supplied wheels, and keep them properly maintained.
Inflate the tires to 30–35 P.S.I. and check the pressure before each use. Do
not use higher-pressure tires or knobbies. We recommend using only tires
with street tread.

• Sudden swerving

Know Your Trailer Hitch
Clamp the hitch securely to the bicycle frame, and check for a tight attach-
ment each time you use the trailer. Refer to the "Hitching Your Burley to Your
Bicycle" section for the proper installation and use of your hitch.
Use Your Safety Flag (Nomad

Always use the safety flag—it will help make you more visible to motorists
and other cyclists.
