I. Introduction
Congratulations! With the Walk’n Roller option you are able to stroll or jog with your
kids – using your Burley Solo trailer!. You can enjoy years of maintenance-free cycling
and strolling together, all in one neat package. Every effort has been made to ensure
that your purchase is of top quality and proven design, ready to provide you with
many years and thousands of miles of happy, safe trailering.
The Walk n’ Roller has been designed to empower you to bicycle and stroll, all in the
same trip. You can bike with your Burley as a trailer to a store or a scenic park, lock
your bike and quickly convert the trailer to a stroller, without tools. The conversion
from trailer to stroller, and stroller to trailer, is done without removing any Walk n’
Roller components.
Before using your converted Burley trailer, carefully read this supplement
for essential information regarding daily use, warning, safety guidelines, and
maintenance. If you have any questions , we encourage you to contact your Burley
dealer.
When loaning or selling your trailer, supply the new user with both this
Supplement and the original Owner’s Instruction & Safety Manual for your trailer.
They must familiarize themselves with all sections, especially with Safety Guidelines
and Safety Checklists prior to use.
If you do not have a copy of the appropriate manual, contact Burley at

Slide the Wheel pivot assembly over the end of the tongue so that the hole in the
tongue lines up with the hole in the top as shown below.
• Line up the hitch connector hole (#4, see left), with those those same two holes.
• Run the 2 inch bolt provided through the d-ring, and then through the wheel pivot
assembly, tongue hitch connector.
• Push the bolt through the hole at the bottom, visible in the cavity underneath, and
then secure with the new locking nut provided (tighten to 6 ft-lbs).
• The end of the bolt should be fl ush with, or completely pass through the end of the
nut.
• Place the 1 inch bolt (#2), using 2 washers as shown and a locking nut. Then place
the other 1 inch bolt (#3), through one washer and the remaining hole.
• On the underside of (#3) place the safety strap and a locking nut. Tighten to 6 ftlbs using the torque wrench, the end of the bolt must be fl ush with or completely
pass through the nut.
The bolt must go through the hole in the fl exible coupling;
otherwise, hitch could come loose causing an accident
resulting in serious injury or death.

bolt that goes through the tongue (and hitch’s
fl exible coupling); the safety strap is anchored,
and the d-ring is on top.
Note: If using the Burley Alternative
hitch, the fl exible coupling is
attached in the same manner,
using the bolt through the tongue.
The safety strap is anchored in the
same way, to the wheel assembly
clamp bolt.
IV. Using the Walk n’ Roller Wheel
The wheel must be placed in the up position
in order to attach the trailer to a bicycle. The
conversion from “bike” (up) position, to “stroll”
position, is quick and requires no tools. First,
engage the parking brake.
To covert from “stroll” to “bike”, loosen the
Knob (#1), turning counterclockwise, until the
triangular pivot section (#2), can be rotated.
Rotate the section bringing the wheel up until
the word “bike” appears.
With the word “bike” in view, line up the
triangular sections and then tighten the knob
by hand.
Use the similar procedure for converting back to
“stroll” position.
