MOUNTING THE BIKE CARRIER
The bike carrier comes unassembled. 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 each step and how to assemble the bike carrier.
Parts:
Mount the two lamp holders together. This is done by means of a small piece of iron connection that is already pre-mounted on one side. Slide the rails
"together" and fix it by the supplied screw (M5x12) and washers.
Mount the lamp holder rail at the bottom of the base frame with the two M5x35 bolts and washers.
Make sure that the rear fog lamp is mounted on the left side of the bike carrier!
M6x30, washers M6 and M6 wingnuts.
Put the wheel holder bar on the base frame of the bike carrier with the holes right above the holes in the base frame. Then attach the wheel holders with the four T-bolts (slide into the bottom of the rail and place the end cap in the rail end) M6x50,
Slide the U-frame against the outside of the U-frame holders of the base frame. Secure this U-frame with the supplied carriage bolts (M8x60), washers and plastic rotary knobs. Make sure the plastic rotary knobs are on the inside (see picture).
Please note: firmly tighten both rotary knobs so that the U-frame will come on its place well.
Unscrew the plastic rotary head of the frame holder, so the clamp can be folded open. Put the clamp around the U-frame, subsequently re-attach the holder and screw the plastic rotary head until you can just turn the frame holder (the frame of the bike has to be attached to it, so it has to be movable). The side with the strap is intended to fasten the bike.
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 (or just above) the lighting.
With the cable ties supplied with the carrier, the light cable can be fastened neatly at the bottom of the carrier.
MOUNTING OF THE BIKE CARRIER ONTO THE HITCH BALL
The first step is to become familiar with the quick connector.
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!
A faulty or defective connection between the bicycle carrier and trailer coupling can lead to the detachment of the bicycle carrier. Damage of the carrier, e.g. by bent parts, cracks or scratches, prevent the safe operation of the carrier.
- Replace the trailer coupling if it is damaged.
- Clean the trailer coupling of dirt, dust and grease.
- Do not fit the bicycle carrier if it is damaged in any way.
- Proceed as described in the chapter "Maintenance".
The quick connector consists of a case mounted to the bike carrier and a lever. Using the lever, you can close and open the quick connector.
Release the locking/safety slide. Release the quick connector by moving the handle in the vertical position. Position the bike carrier on the tow bal from the top. Press the handle of the quick connector downwards (approx. 40kg ) until it stops (handle will stay stable in the horizontal position). Slide the locking/safety slide back and secure by locking (the handle can no longer be pulled up). Check for the green indicator.
Now test if the carrier is attached steady enough on the tow ball (and not easy to twist). If not, you have to adjust the quick connector. If it is not tight enough, take the carrier off again and screw in the adjustment screw of the quick connector a little bit further. Loosen locking nut first, screw in adjustment screw and tighten locking nut again.
Check again if the carrier is properly secured to the tow ball (and cannot rotate easily). Repeat this until the carrier is properly secured.
Caution: Always make sure that the locking nut of the adjustment bolt is tightened again!
When the bike carrier is not easy to turn anymore, the quick connector can be locked. Lock the quick connector with the locking/safety slide and lock and take the key out. Keep the key carefully on a safe place. The bike carrier is now also protected against theft.
Always check if the quick connector is well secured with the locking/safety slide and is locked. The carrier may never be used if it is not secured and locked.
THE LICENSEPLATEHOLDER
The clips (2) to mount the license plate can be pressed out and are in the license plate holder (see image).
LIGHTING
This bike carrier is equipped with a lighting system. This system can be connected to the hitch ball 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 (Jaeger). As a result, the carrier can be used with any hitch ball!
Both plugs are in one housing. Please cover the plug you don't use with the supplied cover.

MOUNTING OF THE BIKE ON THE BIKE CARRIER

The frame holder is flexible to place on the U-tube, and are also flexible to place on your bike. Try the first time which position in your situation works best (and most stable affirmative is). It is important to place the frame holder as high as possible, giving maximum stability.
