Warnings

• Always degrease the ball of the towing hook before installing the bicycle carrier.
• The bicycle carrier must be assembled according to the installation instructions.
• The carrier and bicycle must be installed according to the use instructions.
• No changes may be made to the product.
• The lighting is intended for a 12V installation.
• After the first kilometres, check the attachment of the bicycle carrier and bicycles.
• Adjust your speed at speed ramps.
• Never use straps or ropes to fasten your bicycle. These can irreparably damage the frame of your bicycle.
• In principle, an electrical bicycle fits on a Twinny Load bicycle carrier. This depends on the brand and type of electrical bicycle. You will find a fitting table on the homepage of our website.
• Attention! When the fog rear light remains on constantly after connecting your bicycle carrier, the socket of the car is not connected in accordance with the DIN. Have this repaired by your garage.

Before driving, check that:

• the bicycle carrier is well attached to the towing hook;
• the lighting on the bicycle carrier functions properly;
• the two light units are set at the correct width and are clicked into the securing device;
• no cable is hanging loose;
• all wing bolts of the wheel rails are tightened;
• the clamps on the pedal arm of the bicycles are well tightened;
• all wheels have been fixed with the straps;
• the lock of the tilting mechanism is in the hole and blocked;
• no loose items are on the bicycles or bicycle carrier;
• the keys are removed from the locks;
• the fog rear light is in the left light unit.
