Hitching Your Burley Nomad to the Bicycle The trailer hitch was designed to quickly and safely attach to virtually all types of bicycles. It is inserted in front of the left rear dropout of your bicycle. Loosen the knob on the eyebolt until the two arms are spread fully apart. Slip the lower hitch arm under the chain stay (A) and the upper arm above the seat stay (B). (See illustration next page. ) Wedge the hitch cone all the way back into the angle formed by the stays at the wheel. Tighten the knob until the arms are firmly clamped against the stays. Wrap the safety strap around the inside of the chain stay, over the hitch body, and back to the D-ring at the end of the tongue. 10 Burley Nomad Owner's Instruction and Safety Manual Make sure that the cone is wedged securely into the stays. The knob should be fingertight; do not overtighten. The hitch should not move, but should allow the bicycle complete movement, including lying it down on the ground. It should clear any racks, bags, or fittings you have on your bicycle. If there is any interference, contact your Burley dealer. IMPORTANT: Remove trailer from your bicycle when it's not in use to prevent deforming the plastic hitch. B A Do not operate trailer without hitch safety strap properly installed. A dangling safety strap can contact spokes and damage rear wheel or cause an accident resulting in serious injury. Hitch must seat properly into stays and not interfere with racks, bags, or fittings. Inspect hitch and tongue frequently for damage or loose fasteners. [. . . ] Scan ahead for dangerous situations, and anticipate turning traffic. Watch out for parked cars and opening doors. Never run stop signals, and never ride against oncoming traffic. On bike paths, give audible warning when passing pedestrians from behind. [. . . ]
