Hollywood Racks F6 Expedition to 2005 - Manual (Page 2)

4. Pull the strap so that it’s snug, but do not over-stretch the strap. Over-stretching the strap will not
hold the bike on any better, and it may compromise the strength and life span of the strap. Adjust
the other tie down straps accordingly.
5. Use the Anti-Sway block that sits below one of the cradles (for each bike) to stabilize the bike by
placing the strap around the seat tube (not seat post) of each bike (Fig. 5). You may need to
rotate the Anti-Sway block, and in some cases you may need to remove it completely. This would
be the case on very small bikes, or bikes with restricted mounting space due to creative frame
design.
6. Install the second bicycle with the handlebars on
the driver’s side. Adjust the tie down straps as per
the first bicycle. Repeat the installation for the
third bicycle, with the handlebars again on the
passenger’s side of the car.
7. VERY IMPORTANT: You must use the long
(86” x 1”) black strap to secure the lower
portions of ALL the bicycles to the rack. This
strap must be routed behind the main frame,
through the bicycle wheels and pulled tight.
8. Tighten all straps before and after mounting the bicycles on the rack.
Tip: Women’s bicycles, children’s bicycles, and small frame size bikes, can be mounted on the rack
by placing the bicycles on the support arms under the bicycle’s down tube and behind the seat tube.
