MOUNTING OF THE BIKE CARRIER ONTO THE HITCH BALL
The first step is to become familiar with the quick connector.
The quick connector consists of a case mounted to the bike carrier and a lever.
Using the lever, you can close and open the quick connector.
When mounting the bike carrier to the car, it is best that the car is parked
straight, the engine is turned off and the parking brake is activated. Make sure
that the tow ball is undamaged, clean and not greasy!
Release the locking/safety pin by pulling it out and rotating it by a quarter turn.
Release the quick connector by moving the handle in the vertical position.
Position the bike carrier on the tow bal from the top. Press the handle of the
quick connector downwards (approx. 35-40kg) until it stops (handle will stay
stable in the horizontal position). Turn the locking/safety pin until it is secured
(and the handle can no longer be pulled up).
Now test if the carrier is attached steady enough on the tow ball (and not easy to
twist). If not, you have to adjust the quick connector. If it is not tight enough,
take the carrier off again and screw in the adjustment screw of the quick coupler
