Once adjusted, allow the bike to properly fit into the cradle. Load the bike wheels directly into the
cradles and ensure they will not roll back and forth. Bring down the J-hook till it fits securely over the
middle part of the frame on the bike. Remember to use the strap on the cradles to secure the wheels.
Make sure all wheels have a strap securing them.
Tilting Feature
For access to the rear of vehicle, remove the 5/8" pin and allow the carrier to tilt downward. Securely
grasp the bike carrier while the pin is out. Do not place bikes on the wheel cradle when operating the
tilting feature.
