INSTALLING THE RACK ON YOUR VEHICLE:
1. Within the parts bag, please locate the Locking Hitch Pin. See Photo above.
2. When inserting the rack into the trailer hitch, try to get the insert tube as parallel to the receiver hitch as
possible, then slide the rack in a couple of inches until the welded on stop on the top of the insert tube meets the
outer flange (face) of your vehicle’s receiver.
3. Unlock the Locking Hitch Pin and insert the long end through the trailer hitch (receiver) and insert tube. Be
sure to install the lock onto the end of the Locking Hitch Pin. Failure to do so will result in an accident. Be
certain that the hitch pin goes through the “loop” at the end of the “no wobble” internal threaded rod. Failure to
do so will render the “No Wobble” system inoperable.
4. Tighten the lever clockwise to engage the patented “No Wobble” system, which will eliminate the
movement of the insert tube in the receiver. The lever should be turned “up” or to the side after tightening
to prevent it from being damaged in the case you have to descend a steep driveway or have some other
close encounter with “Solid Ground.” The rack should now be attached to your vehicle, and locked into place.
INSTALLING BIKES ON THE RACK:
1. Back off the knob on the rack’s support arms, pull out the support arms and rotate them into the
horizontal position. Retighten the knobs securely. Rotate lower brace to its horizontal position,
and retighten lower black knob. All knobs should be snug, but do not over-tighten.
2. 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. For the five-bike rack, the bike between the vehicle and the rack goes on first. 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. Be sure to use the Anti-Sway blocks (below the support arms) to strap the bikes
seat tube (or other frame tube as appropriate) to prevent the bikes from swaying on the Road Runner rack.
Note photos below for correct application of the straps on the anti-sway blocks.
