3. Once the proper position has been determined by adjusting the rack's support arms and main frame, tighten the
hubs by turning both black knobs in a clockwise (right hand thread) direction, until snug and secure. Be sure that
the teeth of the black hubs are interlocked evenly, so that the support arms are perfectly parallel. Do not over-
tighten the knobs. See Fig. 2.
4. 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. If your vehicle has a
"soft" plastic bumper, the lower straps may be attached to the lower edge of the trunk lid, or rear door opening
instead of the bumper. Note: The Express 2 does not include side straps.
5. After all mounting straps have been attached, pull firmly on each strap to make sure that the hooks are properly
seated, and that all straps are tight. After mounting the bikes, recheck and retighten all straps since the weight
of the bike(s) often adds tension to the upper straps, and loosens the lower straps.

6. Attach the rubber straps to the rubber cradles per Fig. 3. Start with the round (end) hole of the strap stretched
over the diamond shaped anchor on the cradle. After the bike is mounted, attach one of the square holes on the
strap to the front anchor so that the strap fits snug over the bike frame. Check to make certain that all straps are
attached correctly before proceeding. Be sure not to route straps over any cables (see Fig. 4a.), but rather under
them (see Fig. 4b). This will protect the bike's finish.
7. Place the heaviest bike onto the rack first (closest to the vehicle), putting the bike's top tube (usually) into the
rubber cradles on the support arms. It generally works out best to put the first bike's handlebars on the driver's
side of the car. Be sure to note the location of the pedal, as you may have to rotate the crank in order to keep the
pedal from hitting the vehicle. Pull the rubber strap across the bike's frame tube and attach it to the "nub" on the
opposite side of the cradle for both right and left cradles. Straps should be snug, but do not over-tighten the
straps since this may shorten the useful life of the strap.
8. Once all the bikes are mounted and all the rubber straps are pulled snug (but not over-stretched), route the
attached safety strap nylon-webbing strap around all the bikes and re-attach to the buckle. Remember to
re-check all straps after the bicycles have been mounted. Re-tighten straps as necessary.
On a bike with a slanted top tube, place top tube
on rear cradle, and down tube on front cradle to
keep bike as "level" as possible.
