SECURE THE FRAME POSITION.

Lower support frame location is
extremely important to the load!

Read and follow the notes
for your vehicle.

POSITION UPPER HOOKS.

LOWER FRAME.

• Turn and push the red triggers

until they are seated in the hub.

• Move the frames apart very

slightly until the red triggers
snap.

• If the frame feels loose, pull

out the red triggers and try
again.

Do not allow the frames to

move out of position.

Check your measurement

again if necessary.

Place where directed
by the Fit Sheet Notes.

Clean the contact points

on the vehicle, and keep

the pads free of debris.

CAUTIONS:
• Do not place the lower frame on glass,

plastic, or thin metal.

• Some SUV’s, vans, and wagons have a large

section of poorly supported metal that will
dent under weight.

UNLISTED VEHICLES:

• A common location is a well-

supported license plate depression,
just above or below the numbers.

• Press the area firmly with your

hand. If deformation occurs, choose
another location.

CARRIER IS
READY TO PLACE
ON CAR.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTACH THE UPPER HOOKS TO GLASS OR PLASTIC!  IN ADDITION,

THE USE OF GLASS HATCH HOOKS WILL LIMIT THE LOAD TO 2 BIKES ONLY.

(If upper hooks must attach to glass or plastic, follow Glass Hatch Hooks installation on next page.)

UNLISTED VEHICLES:

UPPER HOOKS

• Insert the upper hooks

into the leading edge of
the hatch or trunk.

Refer to notes for your
vehicle to see if you
should use the Glass
Hatch Hooks in place
of the top or bottom
hooks.

NO GLASS OR PLASTIC? You won’t need the Glass Hatch Hooks, continue to step 13.

CAUTIONS:
• If hooks do not fit into the leading

edge of the hatch or trunk, you can
install the Glass Hatch Hooks.

• If the leading edge of the hatch or

trunk has trim, you must use the
Glass Hatch Hooks.
