Release the bottom 2 adjuster levers and position the
carrier as illustrated with the bend at the centre of the
bottom support tube pointing downwards towards the floor.
There are indicator marks on the ratchet adjusters. Using
these as a guide, lift the bottom support tube counting 5
teeth spacing, then lock in position.
The quick release action should be firm for both opening
and closing. The tension may be set by releasing the
handle and turning clockwise.
Note: It is important that indicator marks on the ratchet
adjusters are in the same positions on both sides.

Position the lower strap chassis hooks to an appropriate
location under the car for example; towing eye, steel
chassis section or bumper support.
Note: It is vital that you use a strong metal location to secure
these chassis hooks. Ensure the webbing straps do not touch
the vehicle exhaust.

Position the side panel hooks on the edges of the
tailgate/boot. Tighten all straps alternately. Check that the
carrier sits firmly in position and there is a minimum
5cm (2 inches) clearance between main carrier frame and
your vehicle. To increase the clearance you may have
to adjust the angles of the support tubes.
Tuck any excess strap into the plastic strap tidies.
Position your cycle(s) into the saddle area of the frame
locator. Pass the webbing strap over the frame of the cycle
and thread through the metal loop. Pull the strap back
tightly and press the hook and loop fastener to secure.
Note: there must be a minimum 45mm of overlap (See
Diagram). The straps supplied with this product are suitable
for cycle frames up to 40mm in diameter. For larger frames,
longer straps are available as an accessory. Please contact
your nearest Halfords store.
Stand back from your vehicle and check that the lights and
number plate are not obscured. To gain additional clear-
ance, the cycle support arm ratchet adjuster can be moved
to the upper holes on the carrier main frame. If however,
after making this adjustment the lights or
number plate are still obscured, to comply with road and
traffic regulations, a lighting board must be used.
IMPORTANT: Using the fitted RED webbing straps, secure the
first cycle to the carrier main frame. Failure to use these straps
will result in the cycles falling off the carrier.

When carrying a second or third cycle, feed the RED straps
around all cycles, and fully tighten. Failure to use these
straps will result in the cycles falling off the carrier.
To reduce obstruction from the handle bars alternate the
direction of each cycle during loading.
IMPORTANT:
●
Re-tighten all cycle carrier-webbing straps after loading the cycle(s).
●
Do not open your boot/tailgate with the panel hooks in position.
●
For ease of storage the cycle carrier may be folded flat by
loosening all six ratchet adjusters.
●
When re-assembling the carrier to your vehicle, it is important to fully
tighten the ratchet adjusters on the lower support tube first.

Offer the carrier to the vehicle with the lower tube RESTING
on the upper area of the bumper. If necessary adjust the
upper arm to sit against the tailgate of your vehicle or the
upper surface of the boot lid.
The carrier main frame should be leaning towards your
vehicle with reasonable clearance, typically approx.
8cm (3 inches). This will reduce as the straps are tightened.
Ensure the cycle support arms point slightly upwards. Fully
tighten quick release adjusters.

The cycle frame locators can be adjusted to best suit the angle
of ladies’ and children's etc, cycle frames. A false cross bar
