LOADING BIKES ONTO CARRIER:
NOTE: The position of bike can vary depending on the number of
bikes loaded on rack. See Diagram 3 for bike mounting options.
1.
First, remove the top plate by loosening the two plastic knobs.
2.
Load one bike into the first "V-Groove" (closest to vehicle) so the
horizontal seat tube of the bike rests on the rubber lined "V-
Groove". Adjust position of bike to find its center of gravity.
3.
Position the next bike into the middle "V-Groove" so the handle
bars face in opposite direction.
4.
Position the third bike into the last "V-Groove" so the handle
bars face in the opposite direction of middle bike.
5.
Replace top plate and tighten knobs evenly.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.
To prevent the front wheels and handlebars from moving
during transport, we recommend a nylon strap or a
bungee cord, routed through the bike wheel and around
the bike frame.
2.
To lock bikes onto your bike carrier, use a standard
padlock through the holes in the top plates. We also
recommend running a lock cable from the padlock through
the front wheels to secure quick release wheels to bike
carrier.
3.
Your bike rack assembly may also be secured to your
vehicle using a locking hitch pin if desired.
