INSTALLATION

FOLDING FEATURES

Step 2 

Install the bikes on the rack and secure with the provided 
rubber bike arm straps (#5). Be sure to secure the cross 
post and seat post to the rack. 

Note:

 When towing more 

than one bike, be sure to alternate the directions the bikes 
are facing on the rack. First bike faces right, 2nd bike faces 
left and so on. See the figure below.

Step 1 

Insert the bike rack shank into the vehicle receiver tube. 
Secure with anti-rattle bolt and clip (#9).

At the base, remove the clip from the upper bolt holding the 
bike rack in the vertical position. Remove the bolt and tilt the 
rack away from the vehicle. The rear cargo area is now accessible.

Note:

 The towable shank (#2) allows the addition  

of a trailer ball for convenient towing while using  
the hitch-mounted bike rack.

At the top, pull the lynch pin that secures the arms in the 
outward position. Fold the bike rack arms down to the 
transport position, and replace the lynch pin.
