• Proper fitting and installation of this carrier to your specific vehicle is critical, and is not the
manufacturer’s responsibility.
• Improper use of this product may result in damage to your rack, your vehicle, your bicycles,
or even other vehicles driving behind you as a result of colliding with or trying to avoid fallen
bicycles and/or the rack.
• The purchaser should be aware that the load created by a rack and bicycles can exceed the
maximum rating on the hitch or bumper.
• Swagman Racks are powder coated to help prevent rust. When leaving them outside for
extended periods of time the finish will lose its luster. It is recommended that when not in use
it is stored indoors.
• Take care to add padding on any area of the bikes that touches another bike or any part of the
vehicle. Damage can and will happen (to your bikes and/or to the vehicle) if care is not taken
during the loading and transporting of your bikes, and padding used where necessary.
• Bicycle tires should be kept at least 6” away from the exhaust pipes of the vehicle. The high
temperature exhaust exiting from the exhaust pipes is hot enough to melt or damage tires.
The bike rack should also be kept away from the direct exhaust flow. Also check when the bike
rack is folded up.
• Bikes fitted with large accessories (such as a child carrying seat) will greatly increase the wind
resistance and therefore the pressure on the rack and all vehicle mounting points. Reducing
vehicle speed will reduce the chance of any problems occurring because of this situation.
• After reading this manual, should you have any additional questions regarding the
compatibility, fitting, and/or use of this rack, please call your nearest Swagman authorized
retail dealer or Swagman Customer Service.
