CAUTION

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INSURE THE SAFE AND PROPER USE OF THIS PRODUCT 

Improper attachment or misuse of this product may be HAZARDOUS and may result in damage to your SR3162, bicycles, vehicle, or vehicles driving behind you as a result of 

colliding with or trying to avoid the fallen bicycles and SR3162. Some vehicles cannot safely accept any rear deck carrier. This bike rack has been conceived to protect the 

paint of the vehicle if properly mounted.
SAFE & PROPER USE OF YOUR TRUNK-MOUNTED BICYCLE CARRIER 

Always secure your bicycle(s) to the bicycle carrier with the 80” strap. DO NOT let bicycle tires hang near the exhaust pipe. The hot exhaust could melt and 

destroy the tires. If a SR3162 mounting strap appears worn or frayed, REPLACE IT. WORN STRAP ARE DANGEROUS. NEVER PLACE MORE THAN 3 BICYCLES 

(Totalling 132lb/60Kg). Inspect and check you SR3162 before each use, both before and after placing bicycles on the SR3162, as the bicycles weight may cause 

the straps to loosen initialy. Tighten all straps and hubs each time you inspect the carrier and bicycles. CHECK the tightness of all straps and adjustable hubs at 

regular intervals during use, more frequently on bumpy roads, and immediately if the bicycles shift position. Remove the SR3162 when not in use.
