A maximum of two bicycles can be placed onto the carrier
support arms. Place them in opposite directions. To avoid
damage do not position them directly next to the vehicle’s
exhaust, especially the bicycle tyres.
Secure bicycles to the carrier with the thin straps provided.
DO NOT use string or elasticated straps. Ensure that the
bicycles, especially the pedals, do not come into contact with
the vehicle’s bodywork.

When you have secured the bicycles on the carrier, check
and re-tighten all the straps and tie off the surplus lengths of
strap for extra security and to prevent the loose ends flapping.
