Maintenance and Storage
Hitch and Tongue Maintenance
Bee
only: Lubricate the tongue-pivot spindle twice a year for normal use, or
monthly if used in wet or salty conditions.
1. With a medium flat-blade screwdriver, remove inner cap on the
tongue end.
2. Using a grease gun equipped with needle-type injector, squirt grease
into small hole in brass bushing until old grease flushes out
bushing ends.
3. Replace inner cap on tongue end to protect pivot bushing.
For any spindle service other than lubrication, contact
your Authorized Burley Dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Fabric Care
Your trailer body is made of a tough, waterproof polyester fabric, which is high-
ly resistant to fading. It can be easily cleaned with any mild soap or detergent
and warm water. For heavy soiling, use a nylon bristle brush. Do not use bleach
for cleaning, as it will damage the fabric. The fabric is an important part of
your trailer’s structure, and provides a protective environment for child passen-
gers. Replace any fabric that is ripped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged.
Polyester fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sun-
light. To extend the life of your trailer, wipe it dry (to help avoid mildew) and
store it out of direct sunlight in a dry, well-ventilated area. Burley offers a du-
rable polyester storage cover to protect your trailer from the elements when it
is not in use. Contact your Authorized Burley Dealer for details.
Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32˚F (0 C), as hitch
rubber flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing
accident resulting in serious injury.
WARNING
Trailer with damaged or ripped fabric components can permit harmful
contact between child and spokes or pavement, and cause serious
injury. Replace damaged components immediately.
