water. For more persistent soil, use a nylon bristle brush. When not in use,
store your trailer in a dry, well-ventilated area; wipe it dry before storing to
avoid mildew.
Nylon fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sunlight.
To extend the life of your fabric, as well as the hitch and other components,
do not store your trailer in direct sunlight. Do not use bleach for cleaning, as
it will damage the nylon. The nylon fabric is an important part of your trailer's
structure, and provides a safety envelope for child passengers. Replace
any nylon fabric that is ripped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged.
Trailer with damaged or ripped fabric components can permit harmful con-
tact between child and spinning spokes or moving pavement, and cause
serious injury. Replace damaged components.

IX. Safety Guidelines

Bicycling with a trailer is different from bicycling without one, in ways which
aren't always obvious. It is therefore essential that you read and understand
all of the following safety guidelines—in addition to the warnings and instruc-
tions in the previous sections—prior to using your trailer. Before loaning
your trailer to others, make sure they too understand its proper, safe use.
Contact your dealer or Burley if any of these instructions are unclear.
Bicycling with a trailer, and bicycling in general, can be hazardous. Failure
to observe any of section "IX. Safety Guidelines" could result in accident
and serious injury or death.
Use Well-Maintained Bicycle and Trailer
Use a bicycle which is in good working condition, with good brakes. A fre-
quent safety check of your bicycle is essential. Inspect and maintain your
trailer as outlined in section "X. Safety Checklists" of this manual. Have
your Burley dealer maintain and inspect your bicycle and trailer if you are
not qualifi ed to do so.
