WARNING
Before traveling with the bikes in the back of your truck, the rear
safety straps must be secured to the frame(s) of your bike(s). See
FIG's 11 & 12 below. Failure to secure your Bike(s) with these straps
can cause damage to your vehicle or other vehicles and possible
injury or death.
NOTICE
It is extremely important that you frequently remove the bike pad and clean the
back side of the pad that touches your tailgate paint. Use warm soapy water
and a soft cloth often to clean and keep dirt and road grime from building up
and potentially causing paint damage. After washing the bike pad, let it dry in
the sun before re-installing.
