Your assembly of the Cub parking brake is complete. Now reattach the tongue and you are ready to go! Using the Parking Brake Once installed, the parking brake is engaged by pushing the handle to the right, which pushes the brake arms outward so that the tip of each brake engages the inside of each tire. This can be done with your hand or foot. When disengaging the brake, it may spring to the left, so exercise caution. Folding Your Burley Cub Folding your Burley Cub is basically the revers

Because of ultraviolet deg ra da tion, we recommend that the hitch be replaced every fi ve 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, scr at ch es . When ordering a replacement hitch, you must specify that your Burley trailer is equipped with a square tongue. Trailers with round tongues requir

IX. Safety Guidelines Bicycling with a trailer is different from bi cycling without one , in ways which aren’t always obvious. It is therefore essential that you read and un der stand all of the fol low ing safety guide lines—in addition to the warn ings and in struc tions in the previous sec tions—prior to using your trailer. Before loaning your trailer to others, make sure they too un der stand its proper, safe use. Contact your dealer or Burley if any of these in struc tions are un clear

Avoid Riding in Traffi c We recommend against riding in traffi c. If you must ride in traffi c, do not pull your trailer on high ways, busy streets, or on streets unsafe for bicycling with chil dren. Never assume that you will be given the right-of-way, even if it is legally yours. Your child is a pre cious load; his or her safety should not be en trust ed to a car driver whose attention or regard for bike riders is un known. Use care when pulling your trailer on bike routes or along bike l

For maximum stability and safety, seat a single child in the center of the trailer. Periodically check placement of shoulder straps, especially for a sleeping child
