CARRY-BIKE
EN
Read the following instructions and warnings carefully; failure to observe these installation and
usage instructions as well as the Highway Code in the relevant country may cause severe harm
or damage for which the manufacturer declines all responsibility. Before installation, ensure
compatibility with the vehicle on which the product must be installed.
Checking that the wall/rear door is sufficiently solid and suitable for guaranteeing the resistance of
the anchoring points is always mandatory. If not, strength and compliance with the maximum load
indicated in the instructions are not guaranteed and it will be necessary to reinforce these points.
After having positioned the Carry-Bike on the rear axle of the vehicle, the normal weight
distribution on both axles is modified. This variation must not exceed the maximum permissible
axle load.
Never exceed the maximum permitted length and the total weight of the full-loaded vehicle.
Make sure that the weight is correctly distributed while loading; a uniform distribution (the heaviest
bike must be placed in the rail guide near the wall of the vehicle) ensures better stability.
Always warn about the presence of the Carry-Bike on your vehicle, using a sign for protruding
loads and, in case of limited rear visibility, use the additional rear-view mirrors.
Take into account the presence of the Carry-Bike, paying attention while driving and especially
during reversing manoeuvres, particularly if you have a parking assist system.
Always comply with speed limits and the Highway Code. The speed should always be suitable
to traffic conditions and transported load. When using the bike carrier with trailer make sure that
the tow hook is always accessible and the corner mobility of the trailer is guaranteed (volume
measuring DIN 74058).
Check periodically the bicycle rack to make sure it is firmly attached, especially during the first
kilometres from the installation and always before and after long trips, to avoid damage of the
Carry-Bike/vehicle. Regularly check rubber parts under the upper and/or lower brackets, as well
as the belts; if they are porous or worn, replace them immediately.
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.
While assembling, pay attention not to close the rear door if screws and brackets of the
Carry-Bike are not tightened.
Make sure that, during roar door opening, the Carry-Bike and/or the Bike-Block do not touch the
roof of the vehicle (raised roof) and/or its opening systems (pop-up roofs).
During Carry-Bike installation, verify that there is enough distance between handlebars and/or
pedals and the vehicle's rear windows in order to avoid any damages of the window van; do not
leave accessories attached (bay seats, baskets, etc) because vibrations could disengage bikes.
In some cases, the rear windscreen wiper may not work due to the presence of bicycles. Be
aware of the brush radius before operating the windscreen wiper.
On this type of Carry-Bike, bike covers are not allowed (Bike Cover).
