INSTRUCTIONS
Assemble the wheel trays using the two nuts, bolts
and washers (fig. 1). Install the plastic tray end caps
(fig. 2).
Attach the bike support arm bracket to the front
roof bar using the “U” bolts, nuts and plastic knobs
provided (fig. 3). Attach the rear wheel tray using
the “U” bolt and bracket (fig. 4). There are two
different sizes of “U” bolts. Depending on the width
of the roof bar will determine which “U” bolts are to
be used.
NOTE: It is important that the bike is equally spaced
on the wheel tray. If not then adjust accordingly. The
distance between the roof bars should not be less
than 28” or 70 cm (fig. 5). Check all nuts, bolts and
knobs periodically to insure they are tight.
INSTALLING BIKES
Place your bike into position on the wheel tray and
attach the bike clamp jaw to the down tube (fig. 6).
Tighten the knob firmly. NOTE: The angle between
the down tube on the bike and the support arm
should be approximately 90 degrees (fig. 7).
NOTE: The clamp jaw knob should be checked
regularly to insure it is tight. Secure the wheels
with the supplied wheel straps, and unsure they
are tight and that the webbing is lace through the
buckle (fig. 8).
IMPORTANT NOTES
• The rack is supplied with a locking jaw knob.
This is not a theft preventing devise and extras
security is recommended if the bikes are left
unattended.
• Extra accessories such as child seats, baskets
and bike covers should not be used due to the
increase in wind resistance. This could cause
damage to the rack, bikes or vehicle.
• Carrying items on the roof can adversely affect
the handling of the vehicle, so drive slower,
especially in cross winds.
NOTE: Don’t forget that the bikes on the roof
increase the height requirement. Be aware of
entering underground parking or drive through
fast food restaurants.
Swagman cannot accept responsibility for damage
caused by incorrect fitting.
