Hitch must seat properly into stays and not interfere with

racks, bags, or ﬁ ttings. Inspect hitch and tongue frequently

for damage or loose fasteners. Interfering parts or damaged

hitch can cause ac ci dent resulting in se ri ous injury.

Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32˚

Fahrenheit as hitch rubber ﬂ ex con nec tor can become brittle

and pos si bly break, caus ing accident re sult ing in serious

injury.

Burley has created the Flatbed trailer to be a ﬂ exible and useful tool, for

use in a variety of cargo applications. The trailer is not designed to carry

occupants of any kind (with the exception of pets that are secured

within a pet carrier that is securely fastened to the trailer.) This is a

ﬂ exible platform utility vehicle allowing cargo of varying sizes and shapes.

The limitations depend on the operator's ability to properly secure cargo for

good performance and trailer safety. Cargo can be fastened by rope, cargo

tie-down cords, netting, or within a container that is securely fastened to the

Flatbed trailer.

Be Sure Cargo is Secure

When loading cargo on your trailer, always ensure that the load is ad e quate ly

fastened and centered on the trailer ﬂ oor. Cargo needs to remain securely

fastened within the perimeter of the trailer. Do not permit cargo to extend

past the perimeter of the fabric ﬂ oor on either side. Objects loaded too close

to the trailer wheels when stationary risk catching spokes or interfering

with wheels when the trailer is in motion. The area in front of the trailer

frame must also remain clear to avoid interfering with the bicycle's rear

wheel. Objects that extend be yond the back can ob scure reﬂ ectors, cause an

unstable weight balance on the bicycle's rear wheel, or contact the ground

on uneven terrain (hills, speed bumps, driveways, etc.)
