constant jarring and/or shock, or any vehicle with very stiff springs that will transfer the load shocks directly to
the rack and the bikes.
• Always check frame hook, wheel cradle knobs and cradle straps for tightness prior to each trip.
• Replace straps if they appear worn or frayed.
• Proper fitting and installation of this carrier to your specific vehicle is critical, and is the owner’s sole
responsibility.
• Improper use of this product may result in damage to 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).
• When leaving the bike carrier outside for extended periods of time the finish will lose its luster. It is recommended that when not
in use the rack 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. Keep all bike tires totally
away from the direct exhaust flow.
• Bikes fitted with large accessories (such as child carrying seat) will greatly increase the possibility of interference with mounting to
the rack on the vehicle.
• After reading this manual, should you have any additional questions regarding the compatibility, fitting and/or
use of this rack, please call your nearest ProSeries® authorized retail dealer or Cequent Technical Service.
WARNING:
•
Improper mounting will void the rack warranty.
•
Damage to bicycles or rack due to ground clearance problems are not covered by warranty.
•
Not for off road use.
