Burley Piccolo Owner’s Instruction & Safety Manual
Congratulations!
You’ve just purchased a Burley® Piccolo™ trailercycle. 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 trailercycling.
IMPORTANT: Because some of the features and guidelines
for using the Burley Piccolo merit close attention, it is very
important for you to familiarize yourself with the trailercycle
by reading sections IV-IX of this manual before use. If you
have any questions we encourage you to contact your
Burley dealer.
Introduction
Your Burley dealer must install the pedals, handlebars, shifter, and grips; and mount
the seat, and the rear reflector. The dealer will adjust the derailleur.
Your dealer must also mount and adjust the Burley Moose Rack™ to your bicycle so
you can tow your Piccolo safely.
Once you’ve read the safety guidelines, you’re ready to go. After the Moose Rack is
installed on your bicycle, hitching the Piccolo to your bike takes only a few seconds,
with no tools required.
This manual is written sequentially to assist initial assembly. In addition to
completing assembly of your Piccolo, your Burley dealer will perform safety checks,
and demonstrate hitch attachment, handlebar adjustment, and use of the safety
flag. We again request that you read sections IV-IX of this manual before use, and
then refer to it as necessary in the future.
When Loaning or Selling Your Trailercycle
If you loan or sell your Burley Piccolo, supply the new user with this manual, and
be sure they use only the Burley Moose Rack when towing the Piccolo. (It may be
easiest to loan your bike with its Moose Rack installed). See section “IX. Transferring
or Installing Additional Moose Racks” for additional information. They must
familiarize themselves with all sections of this manual—especially sections “VI.
Safety Guidelines” and “VII. Safety Checklist” prior to use. It is essential that they
understand how to properly secure the hitch, and the differences between riding a
bicycle with a trailercycle and without one. Always ensure that both adult and child
wear helmets. Never loan your trailercycle if it is in need of maintenance or repair.
NOTE: Any reference to left or right is made in the direction of
travel, as if you were sitting on the Piccolo looking forward.
