Mounting the Reflectors
Nomad
: The reflector brackets mount on the outside rear of each side
panel, 2.5" up from the plastic connector on the side panel. (The holes
for the mounting screws are covered by the fabric.)
To mount the bracket, insert a self-tapping bracket
screw through the hole in the curved section of the
reflector and drive the screw through the fabric,
into the hole in the rear side panel frame. (This
does not harm the fabric.) Then mount the reflector
onto the bracket with the reflector screw. Repeat for
the bracket and reflector on the other side panel.
See illustrations.
Flatbed
: The reflectors are mounted to the reflector
brackets on the rear of the main frame tube. Snap
the posts on the reflectors into the openings in the
brackets, and with the provided screws, screw the
pieces together. Tighten the screws snugly, making
sure the reflector faces away from the trailer.
Attaching the Wheels
First, verify that the tires are inflated to 30-35 P.S.I.
Tip the trailer frame onto its rear end.
Nomad
: With the quick-release lever in the "OPEN" position, insert the wheel
axle assembly completely into the hollow trailer axle, making sure that the
horizontal shaft goes all the way into the axle. Once the wheel is fully seated
in the hollow axle, position the quick-release lever so that it is aimed to the
rear of the trailer in the "CLOSED" position (the lever is marked for OPEN or
CLOSED positions). Repeat
for the other wheel.

Flatbed
: Remove the thumb nut from the quick-release
lever. Insert the quick-release lever through the hollow
axle of the wheel, making sure the lever is on the flat
side of the wheel and the springs are mounted on each
side as shown in the illustration. With the quick-release
lever in the unlocked position, place the wheel into the
dropouts, making certain that the axle goes all the way
into the slots. Once the wheel is fully seated, replace
and tighten the thumb nut. You should feel resistance
halfway through closing the lever. Position the quick-
release lever so that it is aimed to the rear of the trail-
er in the "CLOSED" position (the lever is marked for
OPEN or CLOSED positions). Repeat for the other wheel.
Note: Wheels are not centered on the axle.
IMPORTANT:
Wheels are dished off-center and must be installed so
that tires are offset away from side rails, closest to outer frame.
WARNING
Make sure the wheels are held securely; you should not be able to rock or
shift them. Do not operate with tires inflated above  P.S.I. Improperly in-
stalled wheels or over-inflated tires can cause an accident or serious injury.
Installing the Side Rails
Nomad
: Flip the four plastic (C-shaped) side
panel hold-downs to the outside. Slide each
side rail down over the side rail guides at the
front and rear of each side of the main frame.
The narrower end of each side panel goes to
the rear, with the "Burley" logo facing outward.
Snap the plastic side panel hold-downs over the
side panel tubing at the front and rear of each
side as shown.
