3. If the lock pin on the back of your handle is too low or too high, this can be adjusted by loosening or
tightening the two end mounting bolts of the tire carrier. (Fig E,F)These two bolts provide a lot of
adjustment. This needs to be done in small increments, a ¼ turn can accomplish a lot. It is easier to
have assistance while doing this, so you can have someone watching the latch while someone does
the wrenching. This should be done with the tire carrier slightly open.
(Fig E) (Fig F)
4. After you have made all the necessary adjustments proceed to mount your tire. Depending on the
size and weight you may need to go through these steps again.
