INSTALLING BIKES ON THE RACK:
For ease of installation, we suggest you put the bigger
bikes on the inside (closest to vehicle), smaller frames or
kids bikes on the outside. The first bike loaded should
have the handlebars facing towards the driver’s side of
the vehicle. Place the top tube (or closest appropriate
frame tube) onto the bike cradles, install the straps over
the bike tube and attach to the anchor tabs on both sides
of the cradle. Use a strap notch-hole that provides a snug
fit, but take care not to pull the strap over-tight. This can
put undue stress on the bike’s paint, and may over-
stretch the strap, making it more susceptible to breakage.
After all the bikes have been installed, use the safety tie
down strap (attached to the lock point in Fig. 7 and wrap
it through the frames all of the bikes. Attach to the buckle
then tighten securely. After all the bikes have been
installed, use the safety tie down strap (attached to the
lock point in Fig. 7 and wrap it through the frames all of
the bikes. Attach to the buckle then tighten securely.
To tilt rack for access to rear
of vehicle, remove lynch pin
clip and gently lower the rack
down.
