4 Place Bike Carrier - Folding
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Place the bike rack receiver into your receiver hitch. Fit rack as close to
vehicle as possible.
2.
Secure rack with 5/8” hitch pin and clip. (See Diagram 3)
3.
The bikes are loaded onto the rack alternating each bike, with the anti-sway
cradle being closest to the seat tube. (See Diagram 4)
4.
Secure the bikes by pulling the bungee straps over the top of the bike frame.
The anti-sway straps wrap around the seat tube prevent the bike from
swaying.
5.
Check the bungee straps periodically and after stopping to insure that they are
still tight and that someone has not released them. NOTE: Insure all locks are
locked, that all pins are secured, and that all bungee straps are properly
attached prior to moving the vehicle. Failure to do so will void the warranty.

NOTE: Do not drop or let the support tube fall freely. Make sure that your
hands and fingers are clear of the hinging area during this operation.
5.
To restore the rack to the upright position, do reverse procedure. Remove
the key from the lock and push the center of the cylinder in to engage the
lock pin. A notable click will indicate that the pin is locked.
