Step 6: Installing bikes on the rack
The bikes should always be positioned so that the lowest
point on the bike frame’s top tube is close to the vertical post
(Fig. 6b). The bike handlebars should be staggered (i.e. first
bike’s handlebars on driver side, second bike’s handlebars on
passenger side)
Remove battery if possible.
a. Lower vertical post as described earlier.
b. To adjust the bike’s wheels trays, loosen the knobs and
slide wheel holders along the wheel support tube so that
they are positioned directly beneath each wheel. Try to
adjust the position of the wheel trays so that the hook will
rest on the bike’s lowest point of the top tube (Fig. 6b).
Tighten knobs securely.
c. Rotate the bike’s pedals so that the vertical post can be
raised and secured. Slide the hook down onto the frame.
Secure the Velcro strap on the wheel holders (Fig. 6c).
d. Adjust the wheel holders of the second
bike and mount to the rack in the same
procedure as described above.
e. Ensure that the hooks are firmly
pressing down the bike’s frame and
all knobs and straps are securely
fastened.
