When using the Hollywood Expedition rack, please follow these important guidelines:
 Install the Baja rack on structurally sound trunks and rear decks only.
 Never attach hooks to aluminum, plastic, glass, fiberglass or carbon fiber.
 Clean the surface of the trunk, rear door or deck lid before installation of the rack.
 Tighten all six straps both before and after mounting bikes on the rack.

 Always use the attached tie-down safety strap after loading all of the bicycles onto the rack.
This final Safely Strap should be threaded through all of the bikes.

Mounting the Hollywood Baja Rack
on Your Vehicle:
After removing your Baja rack from the box, loosen
the black hubs by flipping the hub lever outward
(away from the rack). This will allow the two
sections of the rack frame to move relative to one
another for correct rack placement on your vehicle.
Note how the teeth on the hubs interlock into place.
See Fig. 2a & 2b showing the hub and lever in both
the closed and open positions.
Adjusting the rack frame: Position the Baja rack
on the vehicle such that the bicycle support arms
are parallel to the ground, or angled slightly upward
at the back of the rack. The upper pads should rest
on a steel trunk lid, or rear door. If necessary
(particularly on vans, station wagons and SUV’s) the
upper pads may rest on glass. This is because the
weight of the rack and bicycles is support by the
upper straps, and the lower pads. Be careful not to
interfere with rear mounted wiper blade.
Once the proper rack position has been determined by adjusting
the Baja
’s bicycle support arms and main frame, tighten the
hubs by flipping black levers in and locking them in place
against the rack; then rotate the lever and/or cup until the
hubs are snug and secure. Be sure that the teeth of the hubs are
interlocked evenly and that the support arms are parallel or pointing
slightly upwards .
Attaching the straps: Begin attaching straps with the upper (farthest
forward) pair, placing the hooks in the most forward trunk lid opening, and
then pulling on the end of the strap until the proper length is reached.
Once the upper straps have been attached, the side and bottom straps
can be attached in any order.
