Bike Installation
:
1. Pull the pin on the bottom of the upright arm and fold
down. This allows you to easily put the inside bike onto
the rack (diagram 4).
2. Adjust the trays to the wheels of the bike so that they are
all the way in the tray. Once these are adjusted tighten the
knobs on the tray so that they are secure and cannot slide.
3. Fold the upright bar back into the upright position and
insert the pin.
4. Push the hook down onto the bike. Press the button
below the hook to slide it more easily into place. Release
the button when the hook is securely holding the bike.
Releasing the button locks the hook in place and prevents
it from any upward movement while in transit. Ensure the
hook arm is fully locked into the notches on the upright
arm. NOTE: The hook should always be mounted at the
lowest part on the top tube. This is at the intersection of
the top tube and seat tube (diagram 6). Failure to do this
can allow the bike to release from the rack.
5. Install the outside bike in the same manner. NOTE: After
complete installation check all pins and tighten knobs to
ensure they are all tight and that the bikes are motionless
on the rack.
6. To gain access to the rear of the vehicle, remove the spring
clip and pull out the lynch pin. Slowly tilt rack back. This
can be done with the bikes on or off. When driving make
sure to tilt back and insert pin and spring clip.
WARNING
Due to the increase in thinner/lighter “carbon frame bikes” this rack may be inappropriate because the hook clamps the frame.
Please check with your bike manufacturer for specific details.
