Adjusting Stroller Wheel Tracking

Safety Warnings

General safety precautions regarding product usage, potential hazards, and adherence to manual instructions.

The Burley d'lite ST, Solo ST Stroller Kit is an accessory designed to convert a Burley trailer into a stroller, enabling users to push the trailer for walking activities. This kit is compatible with the d'lite ST and Solo ST trailer models.

Function Description:

The primary function of this kit is to allow a Burley trailer to be used as a stroller. It involves attaching a stroller wheel and configuring the tow bar for pushing rather than towing by a bicycle. The kit facilitates easy conversion between strolling and biking modes, though specific precautions are highlighted for this transition. The stroller wheel can be adjusted to ensure straight tracking, which is crucial for comfortable and safe strolling.

Important Technical Specifications:

Tools Required for Maintenance:
- 5mm hex wrench (provided) for loosening/tightening the bolt during wheel tracking adjustment.
- 25mm (1") wrench for turning the bushing during wheel tracking adjustment.
Wheel Tracking Adjustment: The stroller wheel's vertical alignment can be fine-tuned to ensure the trailer rolls straight. This adjustment is recommended when the trailer is fully loaded for best results.

Usage Features:

Handlebar Tether: A tether is looped around the handlebar center, with the strap end slid through a small loop on the other end and tightened securely. This likely serves as a safety strap for the user.
Parking Brake: Users are instructed to engage the parking brake, which is a standard safety feature for strollers to prevent unintended movement.
Stroller Wheel Position: The stroller wheel must be placed in the "Stroll" position and secured by tightening a knob. This ensures the wheel is correctly oriented and locked for strolling.
Tow Bar Configuration: The tow bar slides into the left tow bar mount as far as it will go. It is then secured by closing a clamp firmly, ensuring the clamp latch is engaged.
Retaining Pin (Not Used for Stroll): The manual explicitly states that the retaining pin is not used when the trailer is configured for the "Stroll" position. This is an important detail to prevent incorrect setup.
Testing Tracking: After setup, users are advised to push the trailer to test the stroller wheel tracking. If the trailer does not roll straight, adjustments are necessary.
Conversion Warning: A critical warning emphasizes that when converting from strolling to biking, users must ensure the stroller wheel is in the proper position before attaching the trailer to a bicycle. This highlights a safety-critical step to prevent accidents or damage.
Intended Use Surfaces: The product is designed for use on surfaces meant for walking. It explicitly warns against using it on stairs, escalators, or other uneven surfaces. It also prohibits use with inline or roller skates. Failure to adhere to these instructions and those in the Burley trailer manual can lead to serious injury.

Maintenance Features:

Adjusting Stroller Wheel Tracking:
1. With the stroller wheel in the "Stroll" position, loosen the bolt using the provided 5mm hex wrench.
2. Use a 25mm wrench to turn the bushing until the stroller wheel appears vertical when viewed from the front.
3. Fine-tune the adjustment as needed to ensure the trailer rolls straight.
4. Tighten the bolt once the desired tracking is achieved.
Recommendation for Adjustment: For best results, wheel tracking adjustment should be performed with the trailer fully loaded.

The manual includes several visual aids (PHOTO 1, PHOTO 2, PHOTO 3, FIGURE 1) to guide users through the installation and adjustment processes. These photos illustrate the handlebar tether, the stroller wheel in the "Stroll" position with its securing knob, the tow bar insertion into the mount with the clamp, and the bolt/bushing mechanism for wheel tracking adjustment.

The Burley d'lite ST, Solo ST Stroller Kit is a practical accessory that extends the utility of Burley trailers, allowing them to function as versatile strollers for various walking activities, provided all safety and usage guidelines are strictly followed.
