Saris MTR 4031 Manual Download Page 17

CAUTIONS:

• All requirements for compatability/fit as stated in the current Saris vehicle/carrier compatability guide must be followed (available at any Saris dealer).

 

If your vehicle is 

not listed or you have any questions, please call our customer service.

• Read and follow instructions carefully. Save owner’s manual for future reference or parts information.  Ensure that any other users of the bicycle carrier are familiar with 

its content.

• Before transport be sure your bicycle tires are properly inflated.
• Allow a minimum distance of 12” between the ground and the bottom of lowest wheel tray.
• Drive slowly over speed bumps, 5 to 10 mph max speed.
• It’s the end user’s responsibility to ensure that use of this product meets all local and state laws.
• When cleaning vehicle and rack, use only water soluble cleaners.  Do not take rack through car wash.
• Make sure bike tires are not directly behind exhaust pipe.
• Rack must be installed directly into vehicle hitch receiver. Do not modify the hitch receiver or use hitch extenders.
• Do not mount to any type of trailer or RV including Class B vehicles.
• Prior to usage on the road, remove all loose parts from bicycle, including (but not limited to) child seat,  basket, lock, light, pump, etc.
• This carrier is not recommended for off-road use or for use at speed exceeding 70 mph (113 km/h).
• The handling characteristics of a vehicle will change when a rear bicycle carrier is fitted and especially when it is loaded (in particular, crosswind sensitivity, handling on 

bends and braking). Driving techniques should be altered to allow for these changes: reduce speed, especially on bends and allow for longer braking distances.

• The vehicle’s total length increases when the bike carrier is attached. The bikes themselves may increase the vehicle’s total width and height. Take care when reversing 

and/or entering garages or ferries, etc.
