3. Secure both bicycle wheels to the
wheel recesses using the strap
retainers.
4. Check the bicycle to make sure it
is secure.
Caution
Ensure gap between bicycle and
vehicle is at least 5 cm. If
necessary, loosen handlebar and
swivel sideways.
Attaching the second bicycle
The attachment of a second bicycle is
similar to the attachment of the first
bicycle. Additionally some steps must
be considered:
1. Always rotate the pedals into an
appropriate position before
putting on the bicycle.
2. Position the bicycles on the rear
carrier system alternately aligned
to the left and to the right.
3. Align the rear bicycle to the front
bicycle. The wheel hubs of the
bicycles must not touch each
other.
4. Attach the rear bicycle with the
longer mounting bracket and the
strap retainers as described for
the front bicycle. The mounting
brackets should be fixed in
parallel.
5. Additionally secure both bicycle
wheels of the rear bicycle to the
wheel recesses using the
tensioning straps.
It is recommended to attach a
warning sign at the rearmost bicycle,
to increase visibility.
Fold the rear carrier system
backwards
The rear carrier system can be folded
backwards to gain access to the load
compartment.
