Bicycle Carrier Safety

WARNING: Always retighten vehicle mounting straps after cycles have been mounted on the carrier.

DO NOT exceed the maximum load for this product: 45kg for 3 adult sized cycles. If the carrier is used on a booted saloon type vehicle 30kg or 2 adult sized vehicles.

Check the tension of the straps at regular intervals whilst the carrier is fitted and tighten as necessary. Adjust the length between intervals depending on the road surface.

DO NOT obscure vehicle lighting or number plate with bicycles or carrier. If obstruction is unavoidable ALWAYS use a lighting/number plate board to comply with road traffic regulations.

Whilst using the carrier, the handling of the vehicle will be affected when carrying bicycles.

DO NOT operate the rear windscreen wiper whilst the carrier is fitted, as the carrier may obstruct the movement of the wiper and cause damage to the wiper mechanism or the carrier.

Ensure that the bicycles are positioned on the carrier so they are not overhanging the width of the vehicle, the exhaust pipe or in contact with the vehicle paintwork, and are sufficiently placed with enough ground clearance between the bicycles and the road.

When using the bicycle carrier in a country other than the UK, check with the relevant transport authorities as use in some countries is restricted

IMPORTANT: Take extra care whilst travelling over humps, ramps and rough/uneven road surfaces.

• Straps should be protected against friction, sharp edges or any surface likely to cause damage
• Never knot or twist a strap
• All straps should be inspected before use by a competent person
• Never attempt to repair straps. If in doubt withdraw from service and consult the retailer
• Avoid contact with heat and hot surfaces

• Never trap a strap under a load; crushing can seriously damage straps

• Checks should also include any fittings used in association with the strap

• Chemical exposure results in local weakening and softening of the material. This is indicated by flaking of the surface which may be plucked or rubbed off. If this is visible, the strap should be removed from service
• Heat or friction damage is indicated by the fibres taking on a glazed appearance; in extreme cases, fusion of the fibres can occur. If this is visible, the ratchet strap should be removed from service

2. Ensure the teeth on the Angle Adjustment Cogs align correctly and retighten the Knobs

Fitting the carrier

1. Ensure the vehicle tailgate/bumper are clean before installation
2. Once the carrier is correctly assembled, open the tailgate and hook the upper straps over the top edge of the vehicle tailgate
3. Close the tailgate and tighten the upper straps until the slack in the straps is taken up.
   Note: if the panel gap isn't sufficient to accommodate the hooks, a dumbbell fitting or similar will be required to prevent damage to the vehicle or hooks.
   IMPORTANT: Panel hooks should not be used to secure the carrier to glass edges or flexible panels.

1. Place the carrier against the vehicle approximately 50mm above the base of the tailgate
2. Adjust the Carrier (see 'Adjusting the carrier angle'), so it sits against the tailgate of the vehicle, ensuring that the upper section rests in the upper or lower third of the panel on which it sits (not the middle).
3. The Frame should be leaning towards the vehicle when in position whilst maintaining an approximate clearance of 100mm from the vehicle. This gap will reduce as the straps are tightened

1. Once correctly positioned, attach the bottom straps to a secure place at the rear of the vehicle - ideally the chassis or tailgate

WARNING: DO NOT attach the lower straps to the plastic bumper or other plastic parts as they are likely to distort or break under load.

2. Take up any slack from all straps

3. Progressively tighten each pair of straps in order: top/bottom/side

4. Repeat tightening process until the carrier is secure

Note: the clearance between the carrier and the bodywork and the carrier and the bumper will decrease during tightening. Ensure that, once secure, there is a minimum of 5cm between the carrier and the bodywork and that there is still clearance maintained above the bumper.

• Once the carrier is secured and checked, the bicycles can be mounted and secured to the carrier using the straps provided or an alternative fixing method (not supplied)
• Ensure all moving parts of the bicycles are secured in a stationary position.
• The bicycles MUST be fixed to the carrier via the frame and mounted on the foam padded bars ONLY, to prevent damage to the bicycles, carrier or vehicle.
• IMPORTANT: Ensure ALL bicycles are securely fitted to the carrier before travelling.
