MOUNTING BICYCLES ONTO YOUR TRUNK-MOUNTED BICYCLE CARRIER
• Place the bicycle(s) onto the SR3162 support
arms in the bicycle cradles. Make sure to
cover the pedal closest to the vehicle to help
prevent it from scratching the vehicle. Position
or placement direction of the bicycles will vary
according to the type of bicycle and size frame.
Secure the bicycle(s) to the SR3162 support leg
with the 80" strap.
• Making figure 8 shapes around the last bicycle
frame and the SR3162 arms with the 80" strap
(See illustration). We recommend to use extra
shock cord or rope on the bicycles to prevent the
wheels from turning and to prevent the frames
from swaying into each other. Do not allow the
bicycle tires to rest close to the exhaust pipe
to prevent them from melting. RE-TIGHTEN ALL
STRAPS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES AS THE EXTRA
LOAD OF PLACING THE BICYCLE(S) ON THE
SR3162 MAY HAVE LOOSENED THE STRAPS.
Check the bicycle(s) and SR3162 at regular
intervals during use, more frequently on bumpy
roads, and immediately if the bicycle(s) shift
position.
• For maximum security, we recommend that a
simple knot be tied at the end of the buckle.
The Trunk-mounted bicycle carrier should be
removed when not in use to avoid additional
wear on both the vehicle and the carrier.
• Tighten the bottom straps while applying
pressure to the bike support arms. Check
for straps tightness, before and after adding
bicycles, tighten as necessary. For maximum
security, tie a simple knot at the end of the
buckle.
