12. Installing “wrap around tie down,” and security cable: After all the bikes have been installed, take
the 86” tie down strap and wrap it around the rack’s upright tube and all of the bikes. There is not a lot
of room, but
this is a very important safety step
. Tighten this strap securely.
13. Anti
–Theft Security
For anti-theft security, the rack comes with a locking hitch pin and a 9-foot cable with an integrated
lock. Wrap the cable around the bike frames, their wheels and through the rack. Secure by inserting
end of cable in the lock.
14. REMOVING THE BIKES AND RACK
To remove the bikes, simply undo the straps and gently lift the bikes off. If you’re in a parking lot, be
sure to fold down the support arms and fold up the wheel brace so as to minimize the length of the
rack when not in use. To remove the rack from the vehicle, fold the support arms and lower brace,
and remove the Locking Hitch Pin. Unscrew (counter-clockwise) the “no wobble” lever and slide the
rack out of the hitch receiver.
15. BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAYS
AND
GOING OVER BUMPS
Please keep in mind that when transporting bikes, you will be carrying more weight on your hitch.
This means the rear of your vehicle will be lower to the ground. When going up driveways or over
bumps, drive slowly and at an angle if possible. If you have a car or minivan where the hitch is low to
the ground, the rack may hit the ground. Go slowly and please be sure the handle lever for the no
wobble system is turned up or to the side.
