NOMAD™ FLATBED™ Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual
Congratulations! Introduction Your Burley trailer is the leading choice of discriminating bicycle trailer owners worldwide. Every effort has been made to ensure your purchase is of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with many years and miles of happy, safe trailering. Your Burley is shipped almost completely assembled from the factory. Your final assembly should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Prevent Trailer Tip Over Know Your Trailer Hitch Like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip over. Do not pull your trailer over curbs or hit holes or other road obstructions. Make sure your load is centered and securely fastened down. Do not make high-speed turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always corner with caution at 5 mph or less, as the trailer cannot lean into a turn the way a bicycle can.
Mounting the Reflectors Nomad : The reflector brackets mount on the outside rear of each side panel, 2.5” up from the plastic connector on the side panel. (The holes for the mounting screws are covered by the fabric.) To mount the bracket, insert a self-tapping bracket screw through the hole in the curved section of the reflector and drive the screw through the fabric, 2.5” into the hole in the rear side panel frame. (This does not harm the fabric.
Installing the Tongue for the Nomad™ WARNING All four side panel hold-downs must be snapped in place before using the trailer. Otherwise, the side rails can shift or collapse, resulting in the loss of cargo. Installing the Tailgate and Splashguard Nomad™: Thread the rear tie-down straps through the inner and then outer slots of the male buckle sections of the rear side release buckles, which are attached to the female buckle sections on the inside rear of the side panels.
Installing the Safety Flag Nomad™: Join the two flag pole sections together. Insert the flag pole into the flag pocket on the inside of the left side panel. DO NOT USE YOUR TRAILER WITHOUT THE SAFETY FLAG IN PLACE. Hitching Your Burley to Your Bicycle The Burley standard trailer hitch was designed to quickly and safely attach to virtually all types of bicycles. It is attached to the left rear dropout (the non-chain ring side) of your bicycle. 1.
