Attaching the adapter
When carrying more than two
bicycles, the adapter must be fixed
before the second bicycle is attached.

carrier system as shown in the
illustration.
2. Turn the lever (1) forwards and
hold, then lower the adapter (2) at
the rear.
3. Release lever and check if the
adapter is engaged securely.
4. Guide the strap attached to the
adapter underneath the lever for
folding back the rear carrier
system. Fasten the strap.
Attaching further bicycles
The attachment of further bicycles is
similar to the attachment of the first
bicycle. Additionally, some steps
must be considered:
1. Before putting on the bicycle,
always unfold the wheel recesses
for the next bicycle if necessary.
2. Always rotate the pedals into an
appropriate position before
putting on the bicycle.
