Tilting the bicycle rack
The bicycle rack P22-S + extension kit for max. 3 bicycles
can be tilted to load and unload the vehicle, see the Mounting
and Operating Instructions of the bicycle rack P22-S/P32-S.
Folding open/closed the rack frame
The rack frame can be folded to save space when stowing,
see the Mounting and Operating Instructions of the bicycle
rack P22-S/P32-S.
Preparations before driving
If the bicycle is not fully loaded, it must ensured that:
•
brackets not in use are removed from the rack frame
and stowed in the car boot,
•
all keys are removed and stored,
•
all wheel rail lashing straps are closed.
Note
With the hitch rack P32-S + extension kit (order no. 19720)
for up to 4 bicycles, tilting due to weight and the tensioning
straps used is no longer possible.
Attention
All screw connections and attachments of the bicycle rack and
the bicycles must be checked before assembly, before every
trip and during lengthy trips to ensure they are sitting firmly,
and they must be retightened if necessary.
The lighting system must be checked to ensure it is working
properly before every trip.
If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack together
with the mounted bicycles may free themselves from the
vehicle and cause injury to you and other persons, and/or may
result in an accident.
This check must be repeated at regular intervals regardless
of road conditions.
Note
The bicycle rack license plate and the lighting system must
not be covered.
