Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), as the hitch flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing an accident resulting in serious injury. Fabric Care Hand wash fabric parts with mild soap or detergent and warm water. For heavy soiling, use a nylon bristle brush. Do not use bleach. Polyester fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. Wipe dry (to help avoid mildew) and store out of direct sunlight in a dry, well ventilated area, or use a Burley Trailer Storage Cover to protect your trailer. Replace any damaged parts. 8 BURLEY NOMAD AND FLATBED OWNER'S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL 2009 Nomad Replacement Parts and Diagram Diagram # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Part # 960041 960009 4325401 4326502 950022 950023 250122 160021 950019 950026 950027 4310007M 950072 950029 950038 Forged Standard Hitch Safety Flag Tonneau Cover Bag Left Side Panel on Frame Right Side Panel on Frame Tow Bar Assembly Wheel (SOLD INDIVIDUALLY) Tow Arm Guide Kit Side Rail Posts (set of 2) Snap Coupling Kit (Set of 4) Rollbar with Knobs Nomad Frame Kit Axle Tube Assembly Flex Connector for Square Tow Bar w/ Safety Strap Please go to www.burley.com for updated product parts list and diagrams Description BURLEY NOMAD AND FLATBED OWNER'S INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY MANUAL 9 2009 Flatbed Replacement Parts and Diagram Diagram # Part # 1 960041 Forged Standard Hitch 950096 Fabric Floor (NOT SHOWN) 2 250122 Tow Bar Assembly for Square Tow Bar 3 160021 Wheel (SOLD INDIVIDUALLY) 950005 Tow Bar Receiver Kit (NOT SHOWN) 4 950073 Side Rails (set of 2) 5 4130010 Hold Down Straps (set of 2) 6 950074 Flatbed Frame Kit 7 950097 Axle Assembly 8 950038 Flex Connector for Square Tow Bar w/ Safety Strap Please go to www.burley.com for updated product parts list and diagrams Description 10 B U R L E Y N O M A D A N D F L A T B E D O W N E R ' S I N S T R U C T I O N A N D S A F E T Y M A N U A L Notes: B U R L E Y N O M A D A N D F L A T B E D O W N E R ' S I N S T R U C T I O N A N D S A F E T Y M A N U A L 11 Burley Limited Warranty: This Burley trailer is warranted from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship as follows: fabric parts for one year, frame and plastic parts for three years.
