VIII. Trailer Maintenance & Care
Storing Your Burley Cub
We build trailers to last, and often see fifteen-year old Burley trailers
in use, but even a Burley trailer will not last forever. When not in use,
the trailer should be stored out of the sunlight, as extended
exposure will cause deterioration to the polyethylene shell, hitch,
and fabric.
Your polyethylene shell will need to be replaced if it becomes
damaged or cracked. Periodically inspect all parts of your Burley-
Cub using section “X. Safety Checklists.”
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
replaced every five 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.
When ordering a replacement hitch, you must specify that your
Burley trailer is equipped with a square tongue. Trailers with round
tongues require a different hitch.
Fabric Care
Your Burley-Cub’s fabric is 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 detergent and
warm 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 help 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 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
contact between child and spinning spokes or moving pavement, and
cause serious injury. Trailer with cracked or damaged shell, hitch, or
tongue could fail, causing an accident and resulting in serious injury.
Replace damaged components.
Lubrication
Periodically use a spray or drip lubricant to ensure that the roll bar
handle pivots smoothly. Be careful to prevent overspray as the
lubricant could soil or damage fabric components.
Suspension Elastomer Maintenance
Periodically inspect suspension elastomers for wear, cuts, or dam-
age. Should you need them, replacements are available from your
authorized Burley dealer and are easily installed.
