Always use your cover to keep debris out (and toys inside) of the trailer when it's in use. Next, pull the cover toward the back of the trailer and snap the two rear snaps. Finally, using the B-tabs in front, pull the cover taut and affixing the snaps to the front corners. Folding and Stowing the Front Window Folding and stowing the front window is quick and easy. Hold the window in place by inserting the elastic straps into the Velcro holders on the top of the trailer. Using the Adjustable Sunscreen Your Burley d'Lite is equipped with an adjustable sunscreen to keep your kids in the shade during bright, sunny days. To move the adjustable sunscreen, simply pull on the tabs to move it up or down on the trailer as necessary. This is depicted in the illustration at right. Light Installation To make your trailer more visible, clip a light into the light-holder tab sewn on the upper part of the back of your cover. There are several brands of inexpensive clip-on lights that will make your trailer more visible to motorists and other cyclists. For increased security and safety, Burley offers a clear front and red rear LED light package. These lights mount directly in the place of the left hand side reflectors. See your Burley dealer for details. 16 Burley d'Lite Owner's Instruction and Safety Manual IMPORTANT: Read and study sections "IX. Safety Checklists" before using your Burley d'Lite. IX. Hitching a Burley d'Lite to Your 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. Hitching the Trailer to Your Bicycle 1. 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). Wedge the hitch cone all the way back into the angle formed by the stays at the wheel. 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. B A Make sure that the cone is wedged securely into the stays. 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. [. . . ] Check with your pediatrician if you are unsure about your child's ability to sit upright and hold his or her head up. Never carry a child whose sitting height (with helmet) is above the roll bar, because their chance of injury is significantly higher in the event of tip over. Follow the Rules of the Road Bicycles are vehicles, and are required to observe all rules of the road. Always signal turns and stops; ride with both hands on the handlebars except when signalling. On bike paths, give audible warning when passing pedestrians from behind. [. . . ]
