If your RV was ordered with the bike rack
carrier, do not use the rear bike rack hitch for
any other purpose. The rear bike rack hitch is
not designed or intended to be used for
towing. Refer to the OEM supplied manual for
the bike rack carrier installation instructions. If
you have any questions, consult your dealer
or Entegra Customer Service.

Figure 35 Bike rack with cargo tray safety locking pins
Items that extend beyond the bike rack/cargo
tray OR weigh over 250 lbs. (113.4 kg) will
place undo strain on the RV. Some items may
fall within the given weight range, however,
can still cause damage. Over time, excess
weight added to the tray will cause damage
from the motion created while traveling. In
addition, extra weight behind the axle may
reduce the hitch weight (leading to adverse
handling conditions from wind gusts and/or
passing traffic).
Figure 36 Bike rack stand (shown locked vertically and locked
horizontally
Ensure the bike rack stand is securely locked
in place at all times. When the bike rack stand
is not in use, it must be locked horizontal with
the cargo tray frame.

HECKLIST
When the time arrives to return home, it is
again critical that you complete the necessary
procedures to ensure a safe trip. As you
develop a routine, it is possible that a
checklist will be helpful. This is a general list,
which you may want to customize as you
determine your own needs. In addition, make
sure you follow the hitching procedures listed
in the “Before You Travel...” section of this
manual.
Safety
Make sure you follow all safety precautions
noted in this owner’s manual and in any
vendor supplied manual when preparing to

Improper use of the bike rack may result in
damage to your bike rack, your vehicle,
your RV, your bicycles, or even other
vehicles driving behind you (as a result of
colliding with or trying to avoid fallen
bicycles and/or the rack). Proper fitting
and installation of this bike rack carrier to
your specific RV is critical, and is not the
manufacturer’s responsibility. Damage
caused by improper use of the bike rack
carrier or rear bike rack hitch is not
warrantable.
The bike rack with cargo tray must be
secured to the RV frame by the safety
locking pins at all times. Damage caused
by failure to set the locking pins or
improper loading or excessive loading is
not warrantable.
