Mounting the bicycles

Attention

The bicycle rack for the trailer hitch is only intended for transporting bicycles.

Only bicycles, each with a max. weight of 30kg may be transported on the bicycle rack.

The maximum allowable load capacity of the bicycle rack, the tow bar load of the trailer hitch, the allowable total vehicle weight and the maximum allowable vehicle axle load (see vehicle owner's manual) must not be exceeded.

If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack together with the mounted bicycles may free themselves from the vehicle and cause injury to you and other persons, and/or may result in an accident.

Attention

The bicycles must be mounted evenly and with a low centre of gravity on the bicycle rack. Each must be secured against falling off using a bracket on the bicycle frame and lashing straps on front and rear wheels.

If this is not adhered to, bicycles and/or the loose parts could free themselves from the vehicle and lead to an accident and associated injury and property damage other road users.

Before mounting, remove child seats and all loose parts, such as water bottles, saddlebags, batteries from E bikes etc., from the bicycles and stow them.

Attention

A risk of injury exists if bicycles slip or tilt. Secure the bicycles against slipping off/tilting.

Mount and dismount the bicycles together with another person.

Tilting the bicycle rack

The bicycle rack P22-S + extension kit for max. 3 bicycles can be tilted to load and unload the vehicle, see the Mounting and Operating Instructions of the bicycle rack P22-S/P32-S.

Note

With the hitch rack P32-S + extension kit (order no. 19720) for up to 4 bicycles, tilting due to weight and the tensioning straps used is no longer possible.

Folding open/closed the rack frame

The rack frame can be folded to save space when stowing, see the Mounting and Operating Instructions of the bicycle rack P22-S/P32-S.

Note

The quick-release clamps and rack frame must be regularly cleaned with soapy water, especially if they are dirty or stiff.

Preparations before driving

Attention

All screw connections and attachments of the bicycle rack and the bicycles must be checked before assembly, before every trip and during lengthy trips to ensure they are sitting firmly, and they must be retightened if necessary.

The lighting system must be checked to ensure it is working properly before every trip.

If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack together with the mounted bicycles may free themselves from the vehicle and cause injury to you and other persons, and/or may result in an accident.

This check must be repeated at regular intervals regardless of road conditions.

Note

The bicycle rack license plate and the lighting system must not be covered.

If the bicycle is not fully loaded, it must ensured that:

• brackets not in use are removed from the rack frame and stowed in the car boot,
• all keys are removed and stored,
• all wheel rail lashing straps are closed.

General safety instructions

The vehicle owner is responsible for ensuring that his or her field of view and hearing are not impaired by the load or the condition of the vehicle. It must be ensured that the vehicle and load are in accordance with regulations and that vehicle road safety is not impaired by the load.

The required lighting and lighting systems must also be present and operational during the day.

These mounting and operating Instructions contain the general approval of the bicycle rack for trailer hitches and must always the kept in the vehicle when the rack is mounted.

Observe the legal regulations regarding use of the bicycle rack in the country of use.

Attention

The operating steps and safety instructions described in these mounting and operating Instructions must be adhered to. The bicycle rack for the trailer hitch is intended only for transporting bicycles. The bicycle rack is not suitable for use on rough terrain.

All screw connections and attachments of the bicycle rack and the bicycles must be tested before assembly, before every trip and during lengthy trips to ensure they are sitting firmly, and they must be retightened if necessary. This check must be repeated at regular intervals regardless of road conditions. During the trip, the driver should check the bicycle rack and bicycles for any shifting/changes in position by glancing in the rear view mirror.

If changes are noticed, proceed to the next possible stopping area at reduced speed and retighten the screw connections and attachments of the bicycle rack or bicycles.

If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack and/or the load may free themselves from the vehicle and cause injury to you and other persons, or may result in an accident.

Attention

Do not use lubricants on the pre-mounted screw connections. This could cause the screw connections to loosen and the bicycle rack together with the mounted bicycles may free themselves from the vehicle; this may cause injury to you and other persons, or may result in an accident.

Attention

If the load (the bicycles) extends more than 40~cm beyond the outer edge of the lit area of the side-marker lights or tail lights of the rear rack system, the load must be marked at most 40~cm from the edge and at most 150~cm above the road surface, at the front by a white light and at the back by a red light.

Separately mark the bicycle wheels extending out laterally during transport.

When driving at night, cover the rear lights and reflectors of the bicycles to prevent confusion with the rearward-facing-vehicle lighting and to avoid hindering or confusing other road users.

Failure to do so could result in an accident

Attention

Before starting a trip, check that the lighting system is functioning correctly. When the rear fog light on the bicycle rack is switched on, the rear fog light of the vehicle must be switched off, i.e they must be illuminated at the same time. In vehicle models whose type approval was initially issued after 1 October 1998, the mounted rear-rack system and the load must not cover the third brake light of the vehicle. The third brake light of the vehicle must be visible: on the left and right, relative to the longitudinal vehicle axis, at a horizontal angle of 10^ ; at the top relative to the top edge of the lamp, at a vertical-angle of 10^ ; and at the bottom, relative to the lower e-edge of the lamp, at a vertical angle of 5^ . If these values are not met, a "third" replacement brake light must be installed.

Failure to do so could result in an accident

Attention

The mounted bicycle rack and bicycles alter the driving and braking characteristics as well as the lateral wind sensitivity of the vehicle. A maximum speed of 130km / h must not be exceeded.

Do not cover the bicycles with tarps, protective covers or similar as this greatly influences both areas exposed to the wind and driving behaviour.

Slide any heavy cargo in the luggage compartment as far forward as possible to avoid excessively loading down the rear of the vehicle.

Always adjust your driving style to the road, traffic and w-weather conditions and exercise special care when driving with a loaded bicycle rack.

If these instructions are not followed, the bicycle rack and/or the load may free themselves from the vehicle and cause injury to you and other persons, or may result in an accident.

Attention

If the vehicle is equipped with an electrical luggage compartment lid, allow for the necessary clearance when mounting the bicycle rack. If possible, the electrical luggage compartment lid should be de-activated and operated manually.

Remove the bicycle rack before using automatic car washes. Otherwise, the bicycle rack, the vehicle and/or the car-wash could be damaged.
