Do not exceed load rating for the hitch-mounting bracket specified by its manufacturer. Consult hitch-mounting
manufacture for load limit if not shown on mount or in the vehicle literature. If load limit is unknown, limit rack
capacity to 2 bikes. This carrier has been designed to attach securely to a vehicle. It may not be compatible with all
RV applications and is not to be used on the back of a travel trailer or fifth wheel. However, your attachment is
critical and beyond control of the manufacturer. The user of this carrier must secure it properly to the vehicle and
you need to regularly inspect parts for wear or damage. The Manufacturer is not responsible for and does not
guarantee the attachment of this carrier to any vehicle, and is not liable for any damages resulting from its
attachment. The liability of Heininger Holdings, LLC, is limited to the purchase price of the carrier components
which prove defective in materials and/or workmanship. Be aware that some countries/states/provinces require an
unobstructed view of the vehicle license plate. If rack or its cargo obstructs the plate, you may need to relocate your
license plate. Consult your local vehicle code for restrictions and rules.
Assembling your glideAWAY®2 Bike Carrier
Locate the receiver tube assembly (the heavy subassembly wrapped in the brown corrugated insert) and
the upright (the T-shaped component). These two parts make up the base components for the rack.
Place the upright in position perpendicular to the receiver tube assembly.
Align the holes of the receiver tube assembly articulating arms with the lower two holes of the
upright. (Make sure the center hole in the top of the receiver tube is facing upward).
