holder with the 2 designated knurled screws and insert the lock screws (M6 x 30) into the
bore-holes (see photo
–
slightly tighten the knurled screw).
Ensure that the lamps are
mounted symmetrically.
Assembly picture 3
Assemble the wheel rails by placing the right wheel rail into a left wheel rail at the long
holes. The right wheel rails have a raised beaded edge on one side of the rail (see photo).
Use the short screws, washers and securing nuts for the inner bore-holes. First loosely
screw the wheel rails to the swivel frame in the central position. (lock screws M6 x 20,
washer and Nut M6). Pull out the wheel rails until the outer bore-holes of the swivel frame
can be used for attachment purposes. Secure and tighten all screws on the wheel rails.
Important information:
The attachment parts for the registration plate holder are enclosed as press-out parts in
the registration plate holder itself. Attach the cable of the lighting unit using the cable tie
below the support table. Ensure that this cable is not caught or damaged when the cycle
rack is folded up or down.
Press the stoppers onto the wheel rail from the top, 2 on the right and 2 on the left. Ensure
that the higher side of the wedge shape is pointing towards the centre of the carrier. Now
thread the small strap through the middle hole on the stopper and under the wheel rail to
the opposite side, back through the middle hole. You will also need the 2 remaining belts
later, in order to fix the bikes correctly. Open the frame holder clips and place these
around the U-bolt with the insets. Reclose the clips using the finger screw. (Do not yet
tighten).
Assembly of the cycle rack onto the towbar
Ensure that the towbar is undamaged, clean and free of grease. The cycle rack is placed
on the towbar from above. Loosely screw the cycle rack with the screw M16 and align
parallel to the rear of the vehicle. Tighten the screw M16 using the supplied key until the
rack is attached securely.
Check that the rack is securely on the towbar and that the
cycles are firmly in position on the rack. Check the function of the cycle rack
lighting system regularly.
Fixing the bikes to the rear bike carrier
Place the first bike in the first bike rail (nearest to the vehicle) and fix it on the U-bolt using
the short frame holder.
Fix the running wheels by pressing the stoppers to the wheel and tightening the belt.
Caution: the front wheel must also be secured with a small strap to prevent it from
turning. See photograph.
Here, the frame holder clip is used for fixing on the U-bolt and the strap opposite for fixing
on the bike. The second bike is normally to be placed in the second rail in the opposite
direction and fixed to the U-bolt with the long frame holder. Fix the running wheels as
described for the first wheel.
It may be necessary to place the bikes individually on the rear carrier, rather than as
described, so the frame holders can be fixed correctly. Now secure the bikes using the
long safety belt. For additional safety, run the safety belt through the bike frame and
around the U-bolt and tighten firmly.
Folding down the cycle rack
Hold the U
–
bracket with one hand so that the rack does not fold down suddenly. With
the other hand, turn the side securing bolt and pull this outside. Unlock the central
securing bolt and the rack can be folded down. If the rack table is lifted, this will click back
into its working position again. Turn the securing bolt until it clicks into position.
