2. The rack is designed to carry up to two 60 lbs. bikes.
You cannot combine weight to carry one bike over
60 lbs. If installing an ebike you may have to remove
the battery so the bike does not exceed 60 lbs.
Bike Installation
:
1. Pull the lever on the bottom of the upright ratchet
arm and fold down. This allows you to easily put the
inside bike onto the rack. The taller bike should go on
the inside location.
2. Adjust the trays to the wheels of the bike so that
they are all the way in the tray. Trays press on the
insides of the tires. Once these are adjusted tighten
the knobs on the tray so that they are secure and
cannot slide. Attach the strap to secure the wheel
into the wheel tray.
3. Fold the upright bar back into the upright position.
You should hear a click to indicate the cam is engaged.
4. Push the longer hook down onto the bike. Press the
release button on 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 ratchet
arm. IMPORTANT: You should always ensure that the
hook is located in the lowest position on the top tube.
It is usually at the connection point of the top tube
and the seat tube (diagram 7).
5. Install the outside bike in the same manner using the
short hook.
6. After complete installation check all pins and tighten
knobs to ensure they are all tight and that the bikes
are motionless in the rack.
IMPORTANT:
You have
to ensure that all of the wheel straps are attached
and secure.
7. To lock your bikes rotate the key in the ratchet hook
so the button cannot be depressed (diagram 8).
NOTE: Never leave your bikes unattended for any
length of time. Locks are meant as a deterrent and
won’t prevent bike theft.
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.
