MOUNTING THE BIKE CARRIER

The bike carrier is already assembled in part. Remove all parts from packaging and arrange them in a well-organized way. The instructions will clearly describe and show the parts that you need for further assembly of the bike carrier and mounting of the bikes.

Step 1

Parts:

Two metal clamp holders with black connectors, no visible text or symbols

Assembly:

Unfold the two hinged arms so that they are at right angles to the base of the carrier. Next, tighten them with the plastic knobs (M8) that are also supplied.

Make sure that the plastic knobs are strongly tightened!

The carrier is now ready for use!

unfold Plastic knob (M8)

End result:

Mechanical linkage device with articulated joints and black connectors (no text or symbols visible)

Step 2

Parts:

Assembly:

The light frame is a loose part of the bike carrier that can be mounted on the far ends of the unfolded arms. However, it must be assembled first.

Slide the two rear light holders (incl. lights) onto the light holder rail (make sure that the lamp with an "R" on it is mounted on the right side) and fasten them with the two plastic knobs.

Loosen and remove the little screws intended for the mounting of the number plate holder from the light holder rail and fasten the number plate holder to the rail. The number plate holder has to be level with the lighting.

End result:

Exterior view of a black rectangular device with two metallic brackets and a central screen (no text or symbols visible)

MOUNTING OF THE BIKE CARRIER ON THE CAR

When mounting the bike carrier to the car, it is best that the car is parked straight, the engine is turned off and the parking brake is activated. Make sure that the tow ball is undamaged, clean and not greasy!

Put the bike carrier on the tow ball. Make sure it is optically straight and unfold the carrier by pushing out the "legs" until more force is needed (position similar as on the picture).

Next, press with the flat hand the locking handle down. Push until this is not possible anymore (this can cost some force!)

WARNING: Please don't hold the locking handle with your complete hand since this can cause some harm on your hand!

Loosen the locking handle and the locking system will make sure the bike carrier will stay on the hitch ball.

Next, insert the safety pin in the in the appropriate holes. The carrier is now ready to carry your bikes!

Make sure that the carrier is the well secured with the safety pin. The carrier may not be used when the handle is not secured with the safety pin.

When you want to put the carrier away, you follow the mounting instruction in reverse order:

NOTE: the bike carrier can only be taken from the tow ball when the lamp holder frame is not mounted!

(situation as shown on the picture)

Press down the locking handle with the flat hand and tilt the bike carrier up with your other hand (or by your fingers) on the black handle.

WARNING: Because of the high tension on bike carrier, the locking handle can be pushed up by a high speed and with a lot of force!!

Remove the bike carrier from the tow ball and then fold it together (note your fingers!).

Now the bike carrier can be folded together and be stored.

MOUNTING OF THE BIKES ON THE BIKE CARRIER

NOTE: The number plate and lights can only be mounted after having mounted the bikes.

The bikes are well protected by several foam rubber accessories. It is possible to move these foam rubber accessories, to provide optimum protection for your bike.

1) The frame is protected by the foam rubber on the arms
2) The "legs" of the carrier have two foam rubber rolls that protect the bike frame on the side
3) Two rectangular foam rubber accessories can be placed in between the bikes (hanging on the arms).

Mounting of the bikes on the bike carrier: In principal, the frames of the bike are hanging on the horizontal arms.

Remove all parts from the bikes that could easily be lost (E-bike batteries, bike pumps, speedometers, baskets, panniers, bicycle seats etc.) during transport. These parts may become loose by the increased air resistance and vibration and put other road users at risk.

The first (and heaviest, max 20kg) bike has to be placed in the rear foam holders (the one which are the nearest to the car) and must be secured with the integrated, flexible rubber strap.

Next, the front wheel must be fastened with the supplied straps of 65cm. This to protect the wheel from moving/turning.

Place the second bike in opposite direction in the second foam holders and secure it with the integrated, flexible rubber strap.

Now secure the bikes using the long safety belt (supplied). Run the safety belt through the bike frame and around the bike carrier mainframe and tighten firmly.

Now connect the electric connector (7 or 13 pin) into socket of the car and check the lights for a proper operation.

ATTENTION: Driving the bike carrier without light frame (including license plate) is not allowed!

LIGHTING

This bike carrier is equipped with a lighting system. This system can be connected to the tow bar power socket of your car. Seeing that there are different kinds of sockets that require different

kinds of plugs, this carrier comes with the usual 7-pin plug and the 13-pin plug (Jaegers). As a result, the carrier can be used with any tow bar!

Both plugs are in one housing. Please cover the plug you don't use with the supplied cover.
