Frequently Asked Questions - HoldUp Yakima

How do I install the HoldUp bike rack on my hitch?

Insert the base into the 51 mm (2 in) or 32 mm (1 1/4 in) hitch receiver. Align the holes, insert the hitch bolt from right to left, tighten with the provided wrench, then secure with the safety pin and lock. Raise the base to the vertical position by pulling the spring button.

What is the maximum load capacity per bike?

Do not exceed 27 kg (60 lb) per bike. The total load on the hitch must not exceed this limit for safety reasons.

Can I use this bike rack with a bike that has a front fender?

No, it is not recommended to use this bike rack with bikes equipped with a front fender. If a fender interferes with hook placement, remove it before loading the bike.

How do I secure the bikes during transport?

Always use the integrated locking cable located inside each pivoting arm. Wrap it around the bike frame, engage the lock hole on the stem, and lock with the provided key.

How do I maintain my HoldUp bike rack?

Periodically lubricate moving metal parts with a non-water-soluble lubricant. Clean rubber parts with a cloth, water, and mild soap. Remove the bike rack before going through an automatic car wash.

Can the bike rack be used on a trailer?

No, do not mount this bike rack on a trailer, motorhome, or recreational vehicle. It is designed only for use on a standard vehicle hitch.

What should I do if the bikes touch each other when loading?

You can adjust the position of the arms. Loosen the 4 bolts securing the arm (without removing them), slide the arm to the right or left, then retighten the bolts. Both arms are adjustable.

Can I carry a tandem or recumbent bike?

No, this bike rack is not suitable for tandems, recumbent bikes, or bikes equipped with child seats, panniers, covers, or motors.

How do I fold the bike rack when not in use?

Pull the spring button to release the base, fold the bike rack, then release the button to lock it in place. Also fold the pivoting arms downward. In the folded position, tilt the bike rack up against the vehicle.

What should I do if the hook does not hold well on the tire?

Make sure the hook is placed about 2.5 cm (1 in) from the brake and tighten it by pressing firmly against the tire. Check that the tire is properly inflated (to recommended pressure). If the problem persists, do not use the bike rack for that bike.
