Attaching the Tongue
Tip the trailer onto its rear end and locate the two tongue receptacles on the
trailer’s left side. Remove the retaining pin from the rear tongue receptacle.
Slide the tongue all the way through both tongue receptacles. Line up the
hole on the tongue with the hole in the rear tongue receptacle. Insert the
retaining pin through both holes. Once inserted, rotate the pin’s spring clip
to engage the pin underneath the tongue receptacle. Always check to ensure
the tongue is properly installed before using the trailer.
Never operate the trailer without the retaining pin locked in place.
Unlocked tongue can loosen or detach and cause an accident resulting in
serious injury.

Installing the Safety Flag
Join the two flag pole sections together. On the left rear side of the trailer,
insert the flag pole through the webbing loop on the cover and down into
the flag pocket on the side. DO NOT USE YOUR TRAILER WITHOUT THE
SAFETY FLAG IN PLACE.
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 flat 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
fittings 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.
