Hollywood Baja 2
&
3 Bike Rack
This instruction sheet is applicable to both 2 and 3 bike capacity Baja racks.
When using the Hollywood Baja rack, please
follow these important recommendations
:
Install the
Baja
rack on structurally sound
trunks and rear decks only. If you own a Mini Van
or Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), be sure to read the
special notes below.
Never
attach hooks to aluminum, plastic, glass,
fiberglass or carbon fiber. If in doubt, check the
surface with a magnet. If the magnet
sticks, it’s
okay to use the rack. If not, do not use the rack on
the subject vehicle. The rack strap hooks can
damage non-steel surfaces. Hooks may be
attached to roof rack cross bars. Check the
contour of the bar first.
Clean the surface of the trunk, rear door or deck
lid before installation of the rack. Clean the surfaces of the sponge pads on your
Baja
rack. Dirt
trapped between the pads of the rack and the trunk can scratch the vehicle’s paint due to the
abrasive composition of dirt.
Tighten all six straps both before
and after
mounting bikes on the rack.
Never place more than 100 lbs. (45 KG) on either the
Baja
2 or
Baja
3 racks.
Use
at least the two
upper rubber tie down straps per bike when securing your bike(s) to the
rack. The lower (Anti-
Sway) rubber strap should also be placed around the bike’s seat tube or front
tire to prevent the bike(s) from moving on the rack as you drive.
Always use the 86” external tie down strap after loading all of the bicycles onto the rack. This
final Safely Strap should be threaded through all of the bikes, and the frame of the Baja rack
itself
.
Keep the bicycle tires at least one foot (1’) away from the exhaust pipe(s). Automotive exhaust
is hot enough to melt bicycle tires.
Check the rack, bikes and straps regularly
during use.
Drive slowly when used on bumpy or
rock/dirt surface roads.
Mounting the Hollywood Baja Rack on
Your Vehicle:
Your new
Baja
(2 or 3) rack comes to you
fully assembled in the box, so there is no
assembly to do on the rack itself. There will
be some adjustment and set-up required so
that the Baja will fit on your vehicle
correctly. Please read and adhere to all
instructions as follows:
