ASSEMBLY AND USER INSTRUCTIONS
Whenever this product is used the following information must be
taken into consideration: the bike rack is a safe product if used
correctly, but if it is used incorrectly it can cause damages to you
and to anyone driving behind you.
For personal safety and to avoid damaging the vehicle we
recommend 2 people mount the bike carrier.
Follow in sequence the actions in fig.
A-B-C-D-E-F.
Adjustment of closing lever force
It is always necessary to make the first adjustment when the product is
purchased. Then, every time the product is used, the clamping force must
be checked and adjusted if necessary. In order to prevent accidents and
damage it is advisable to ask a second person to assist you in this
procedure as well. After disengaging and lifting the lever orizontal
position (
1-2 Fig. A
), The screw must be adjusted with the wrench
provided so that the clamping force on the lever is increased to a
minimum of
45 Kg
. (
2-3 Fig. B
). Make sure that the bike rack does
not rotate when the clamping device has been locked.
ONLY FOR ART.708/4
Attach the strap hooks to the edges of the vehicle hatch, then insert the
straps in the buckles (make sure the inlet direction is correct)(
1-2 Fig. G
).
IMPORTANT
: Give the straps a good tug to check for tightness. Check the
tightness before starting and during the trip.
HOW TO INSTALL THE BIKE CARRIER ON
THE TOWBALL
In the case of bikes with carbon frames or forks, always consult the bike
manufacturer or dealer to check if you are allowed to use the carrier.
Place the biggest and heaviest bike on the bike rack first, position the
wheels in the tire cradles and fix it to the shortest arm (
1 Fig. H
) .
Secure the wheels by means of the fixing straps (
2 Fig. H
).
Repeat the operations in (
1-2 Fig.H
) for the second, third and fourth
bikes. The first, second and third bikes are secured to the fixing arch with
the fixing arms (
1 Fig. H
), whereas the fourth bike is secured to the
third bike with fixing arm (
3 Fig. H1
).
If your bike protrudes excessively from the wheel cradles, use the 2
supplied adapters (
Fig. H2
); further adapters are available as optional
extras art. 985.

As well as the information described below please observe the
"
Conditions, suggestions and limits for use " specified in the EC
type test certificate.
- Weight and maximum capacity of bike racks:
* Model
708plus/4
(19,89 kg.) ---> 4 bikes, max. capacity 60 kg.
* Model
708plus/3
(17,38 kg.) ---> 3 bikes, max. capacity 60 kg.
* Model
708plus
(15,68 kg.) ---> 2 bikes, max. capacity 60 kg.
- Do not use the cycle carrier on the road with wheel supports and light
bar in closed position.
- Never exceed the permitted capacity of the towing hook installed. The
combined weight of the bike rack and the load must never exceed the
permitted capacity. Keep the towing hook ball surface clean from dirt
and oil.
- The driver is always responsible for the load he is transporting and
consequently he is also responsible for checking the fastenings both
before starting the trip and at regular intervals during the trip.
- Check the car manual for the specifications concerning the maximum
permissible rear axle weight.
- Verify compliance with the value
D
(maximum load bearing capacity)
of the towball specified by the car or towball manufacturer; the value
D for the towball must be at least
(760 Kg) 7.6kN ; older towballs
often only specify the permissible load on the towball
G
A
and the
total permissible load of the towing vehicle
G
K
rather than value
D
; in
this case the value
D
can be calculated using the values specified in
the vehicle maintenance or registration booklet:
- Remove from the transported bikes children's seats, transport
baskets, rain covers or other elements that could get lost or increase
the air resistance.
- Do not carry more bikes than the number indicated for a specific
model.
- Bike parts, such as for example the handlebars or pedals, must not be
left in the normal position of use; they must be folded to avoid
dangerous projections.
