Every effort has been made to ensure your purchase is of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and thousands of miles of happy, safe trailering. IMPORTANT: Because some of the features and guidelines for using the Burley SoloTM merit close attention, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the trailer by reading this manual all the way through before use. [. . . ] Inspect hitch and tongue frequently for damage or loose fasteners. Interfering parts or damaged hitch can cause accident resulting in serious injury. 13 Burley Solo Owner's Instruction and Safety Manual Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32° Fahrenheit as hitch rubber flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing accident resulting in serious injury. VIII. Trailer Maintenance and Care 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. Your Burley Solo trailer comes with an easy-to-lubricate tongue-pivot spindle. Lubricate twice a year for normal use and monthly for heavier use--i. e. , use in wet or salty conditions. Gently remove inner cap on the end of tongue with a medium flat-blade screwdriver. Using grease gun equipped with needle type injector, squirt grease into small hole in brass bushing until old grease flushes out ends of bushing. Replace inner cap on end of tongue to protect pivot bushing from dirt and moisture. IMPORTANT: For any spindle service other than lubrication, contact your Burley Dealer. 14 Burley Solo Owner's Instruction and Safety Manual Fabric Care Your Burley Solo is manufactured from a tough, durable polyester. The fabric is coated for waterproofness and is highly resistant to fading. It 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. Polyester 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 direct sunlight. 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 safety envelope for child passengers. Replace any fabric that is ripped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged. Burley offers a durable polyester storage cover to protect your Solo from the elements when it is not in use. [. . . ] (1) Left Frame, 1" Aluminum Tube 5. (1) Right Frame, 1" Aluminum Tube 6.
