Hitching Your Burley To Your Bicycle - Burley d’LITE Owner's Instruction Manual

Hitching your Burley to Your Bicycle

The Burley standard trailer hitch was designed to quickly and safely attach
to virtually all types of bicycles. It is attached to the left rear dropout (the
non-chainring side) of your bicycle.
1. Remove the quick release lever assembly from your bike and set it aside.
2. Line up the hole on the fl at side of the hitch upper arm with the left
rear dropout hole.
3. Reassemble the quick release assembly through the hitch and dropout,
but don't tighten it yet.
4. Slide the hitch receiver end of the tongue between the two hitch side
arms, and line up the holes. The hitch should clear any racks, bags, or
fi ttings you have on your bicycle. If there is any interference, contact
your Authorized Burley Dealer.
5. Open the retaining pin and insert the pin through the holes.
6. Rotate the pin's spring clip and close the pin.
7. Now tighten the quick release lever, with the lever pointing to the rear
of the bike. When properly adjusted, you will feel resistance halfway
through tightening the lever (when the lever is pointing straight out
away from the bike).
8. Wrap the safety strap around the inside of the chain stay twice and then
over the hitch body. Fasten the hook to the D-ring on the underside of
the tongue end.

WARNING
The quick release lever must be in
the closed position. Do not operate
the trailer without the hitch safety
strap properly installed. A dangling
safety strap can contact spokes
and damage the rear wheel or
cause an accident resulting in
serious injury. The hitch must
not interfere with racks, bags,
or fi ttings. Inspect the hitch and
tongue frequently for damage or
loose fasteners. Interfering parts
or damaged hitch can cause an
accident resulting in serious injury.
