- Before leaving, check that the rear lights function correctly. Also check
that the indicator lights work correctly.
- Keep the connections clean (lighting board power plug and power
outlet on the vehicle ); use suitable cleaning materials when necessary.
- Do not use and/or attach the bike rack to the car before making the
electrical connections.
- Check that the electrical cables are not damaged or likely to be
damaged by interference with other elements of the vehicle or that they
could, in any way, be accidently cut.
- The lighting devices are not designed t be immersed in water.
- Any major work required to be done on the electrical system and
connections must be performed by qualified personnel.
- Provide an additional number plate to be attached to the towball bike
rack.
- Keep in mind that when driving a vehicle with a towball bike carrier the
rear load projection is different to the normal projection, therefore, take
care when reversing or parking as you need to consider the longer
length of the vehicle; also be aware that the weight of the bikes loaded
on the carrier alter the handling characteristics of the vehicle
particularly in crosswind conditions, on bends or when braking; When
on the road, respect the highway code speed limits and pay attention to
the road conditions to prevent jolts.
- If the driver's rear view is obstructed the vehicle must be equipped with
rearview mirrors to ensure safe driving.
- To avoid damage, if the boot lid is equipped with an automatic opening
function, use this function with care.
- The rear lights of the vehicle are partially or completely covered when
using the towball carrier which is why the model that you have
purchased is equipped with an extra light and numberplate system. The
necessary number and type of lights depend on the date of the vehicle's
first registration, as set out below:
REGISTRATION BEFORE
01.01.1987
It is not obligatory to use fog
lights or reversing lights on the
towball bike carrier.
Use of a 7 pin plug is permitted.
REGISTRATION AFTER

All the lights of the towball bike
carrier must be operational. Fog

It is necessary to use a relay or
electric plug with a cutoff system
that ensures that the vehicle's
fog lights switch off
automatically when the towball
bike carrier is used and come on
as soon as the plug is removed
(Only a 13 pin plug complies
with this requirement).
