INSTALLATION

To install your bike rack on your vehicle, slide the shank into your receiver hitch tube opening 
(see Figure 6, Detail J) and secure with the anti-rattle bolt (#11) (see Detail K) and clip (#10) (see Detail L).

WARNING:

 Anti-rattle bolt must be threaded completely through the vehicle's receiver tube and tightened to 75 ft. lbs. 

If not completely tightened, the bike rack can shake, rattle, rock and vibrate. This could potentially cause damage to the bikes.
