CAUTION:
•
It is recommended to use extra shock cords or ropes (not included) for
securing the bicycles to prevent the tires from turning and to prevent the
frames from swaying into each other.
•
Check for tightness of the straps at regular intervals, as the straps may loosen
and the bicycle may shift during travel. Inspect more frequently when travelling
on bumpy roads.
•
Remove the bike carrier from the vehicle when not in use to avoid
additional wear on both the vehicle and the carrier.

LOADING BICYCLES ON THE BIKE CARRIER
Note:
Position of the bicycles will vary according to
the type of bicycle and size of the bicycle frame.
Make sure the bicycles are placed in alternating
directions.
Note:
Adjust the bike cradle and anti-sway cage (4)
according to the bicycle geometry. The cradles can
be rotated and slide up/down with respect to the
rack arm.
CAUTION:
•
Secure the bicycle pedal in such a way to prevent the vehicle from being
scratched.
•
Do not allow the bicycle tires to hang near the exhaust pipe of the vehicle.
The hot exhaust could melt and destroy the tires.
Fit the other end of the cradle strap (M) onto the
cradle so as to secure the bicycle frame
.
Note:
Ensure that the cradle strap is firmly secured
to one of the two pegs, whichever is more suitable
for a secure fit.

WARNING:
After loading the bicycles, do not attempt to remove the bolts inserted at the
bottom of the mast. Doing so may cause tilting of the bike carrier, which may
damage the vehicle carrying the bike carrier or vehicles moving behind.
Secure the seat post tube (8) of the bicycle to the
anti-sway cage (4) of the bike cradle using the
cradle strap (M). This will help prevent bicycle sway
while in transit.
