cident resulting in serious injury.
VIII. 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 re-
placed every fi ve 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.
The Burley-Solo tongue pivot requires periodic lubrication to enable ease
of movement and prevent rust. Lubricate using a light machine oil once a
year for normal use, and every three months for heavier use—i.e., frequent
tongue removal or use in wet or salty conditions.
Wheel Replacement
IMPORTANT: Only the plastic wheels provided or specially manufactured
alloy spoked wheels manufactured by Burley will fi t properly onto the axles
of your Burley-Solo.
The Burley-Solo tires for the plastic wheels are specifi cally designed to be
used with those wheels. In the event that replacement is necessary, contact
your Burley dealer.
Fabric/Shell Care
Your Burley-Solo is manufactured from a tough, durable packcloth. The
nylon fabric is coated for waterproofness and is highly resistant to fading.
The fabric can be easily cleaned with any mild soap or deter gent and warm
