- The Carry-Bike UL is an universal bicycle carrier for motorhomes with fl at rear walls,
also optionally available, without fi xing brackets for installation on vehicles with
preinstalled brackets. It is supplied with the Bike-Block blocking system and two Quick
Rails. It is delivered as standard for transporting 2 bicycles. Can be upgraded to carry up
to 3 bikes by adding a third Quick Rail. Do not to exceed the max. weight of 55 kg.
- If you exceed the maximum permitted weight, the braking distance of your vehicle will be
increased. Check before you leave.
- Setting the Carry-Bike on rear axis of the vehicle, the standard weight distribution on two
axis could be modifi ed; be sure that it doesn't exceed the maximum permitted load (verify
the data on your own logbook).
- Never exceed the maximum permitted length and the total weight of the full-load vehicle.
- Do not cover the number plate or lights. Repeat lights and plate by using a trailer board if
the Carry-Bike covers them, even partially.
- Before installation, clean carefully the area where the bicycle rack will be mounted and
use rubber protectors in order to avoid any friction, and consequently, any damages to
the body/paint of the vehicle. Periodically check rubber parts and, in case they are porous
or worn, immediately replace them. If not used for long periods, we suggest to remove
the Carry-Bike from the vehicle.
- Make sure that the support brackets are located where they cannot move or shift
sideways. They also must not touch the roof of the vehicle, the hinges and the
corresponding bolts or screws.
- Periodically check the bicycle rack to make sure it is fi rmly attached, especially during the
fi rst 10 km. Make sure the belts are not loose and that the holding brackets have not
shifted.
- In case you use the bike cover, pay attention that it is duly fi xed and does not cover the
lights. Detachable parts like child safety seats, bags or air compressor have to be
uncoupled and put away inside the vehicle.
- Bicycles have to be fi xed both with two Quick-Safe (one piece per wheel) and Security
Strip on the frame. Both Quick-Safe and Security Strip have to be periodically checked.
In case of damage, they have to be immediately replaced.
- For extra safety travelling, we suggest using steel cable antitheft device.
- While fi xing the bikes, verify that there is enough distance between handlebars and/or
pedals and vehicle's wall, to avoid compromising the paintwork.
- The load must be evenly distributed (the heaviest bike must be placed near the wall of the
vehicle).
- Be careful when driving and beware of hairpin bends and of gusts of wind. Also keep in
mind that you need a longer braking distance. Beware dangerous road crossing and
garage's entrance. Additional rear view mirrors are required in case of reduced visibility.
