Hollywood Baja Bicycle Carriers B2, Руководство по установке

When using the Hollywood Baja rack, please follow these important recommendations :

Install the Baja rack on structurally sound trunks and rear decks only. If you own a Mini Van or Sport
Utility Vehicle (SUV), be sure to read the
special notes below.
 Never attach hooks to aluminum, plastic,
glass, fiberglass or carbon fiber. If in
doubt, check the surface with a magnet. If
the magnet sticks, it’s okay to use the
rack. If not, do not use the rack on the
subject vehicle. The rack strap hooks can
damage non-steel surfaces. Hooks may be
attached to roof rack cross bars. Check the
contour of the bar first.
 Clean the surface of the trunk, rear door
or deck lid before installation of the rack.
Clean the surfaces of the sponge pads on
your
Baja rack. Dirt trapped between the
pads of the rack and the trunk can scratch
the vehicle’s paint due to the abrasive composition of dirt.
 Tighten all six straps both before and after mounting bikes on the rack.
 Never place more than 100 lbs. (45 KG) on either the Baja 2 or Baja 3 racks.
 Use at least the two upper rubber tie down straps per bike when securing your bike(s) to the rack. The
lower (Anti- Sway) rubber strap should also be placed around the bike’s seat tube or front tire to prevent the
bike(s) from moving on the rack as you drive.
 Always use the attached safety tie down strap/buckle after loading all of the bicycles onto the rack. This
final Safely Strap should be threaded through all of the bikes, and the frame of the Baja rack itself .
 Keep the bicycle tires at least one foot (1’=30 cm approx.) away
from the exhaust pipe(s). Automotive exhaust is hot enough to melt
bicycle tires.
 Check the rack, bikes and straps regularly during use.
 Drive slowly when used on bumpy or rock/dirt surface roads.
Mounting the Hollywood Baja Rack on Your Vehicle:
Your new Baja (2 or 3) rack comes to you fully assembled in the box,
so there is no assembly to do on the rack itself. There will be some
adjustment and set-up required so that the Baja will fit on your vehicle
correctly. Please read and adhere to all instructions as follows:
1 . After removing your Baja rack from the box, loosen the black hubs by flipping the hub lever outward
(away from the rack). This will allow the two sections of the rack frame to move relative to one another for
correct rack placement on your vehicle. Note how the teeth on the hubs interlock into place. See
Fig. 2a .
showing the hub and lever in the open position. The Baja is adjustable to clear spoilers and small rear wings.
2 . Adjusting the rack frame : Position the Baja rack on the vehicle such that the bicycle support arms are
parallel to the ground, or angled slightly upward at the back of the rack. The rear brace should rest on a steel
trunk lid, or rear door. See
