5.3 SECURING THE THIRD BICYCLE
Lay the cables along the longitudinal carrier of the base frame. The cables may not be bent, stretched or crushed, e.g. in the vicinity of the folding
mechanism. Secure the cables with the supplied cable ties. When you are fi nished, trim any excess material from the cable ties using cutting pliers.
The third bicycle is secured with the supplied frame holder reaching from Bicycle 2 to Bicycle 3. The loose, small tensioning strap is used to additionally
secure the front wheel,

Wrap the safety strap through the bicycle frames and the U-shaped bracket and tighten.
The frame holder may cause minor pressure points on the bicycle
frame and damages to the paintwork.

The bicycle rack may not be used without this safety strap.
These instructions describe the use with estates and compact vehicles with a hatchback (rear door).
With boots (saloons) proceed appropriately.
Before mounting the tension-relief strap, remove dust and dirt from the upper region of the rear door
in order to prevent scratching and abrasion when travelling with the tow-bar rack.
Open the rear door of your vehicle. Guide the free end of the strap from the inside to the outside
between the rear door and the edge of the roof. Leave approximately 20 cm free between the strap
anchor and the edge of the roof. Carefully close the rear door. Make sure that the strap lies fl at and
straight between the seals. Now slowly pull the strap until the strap anchor meets the panel of the
roof liner and the rear door.
