HOW TO INSTALL THE BIKE CARRIER ON
THE TOWBALL
For personal safety and to avoid damaging the vehicle we recommend 2
people mount the bike carrier.
9) Push the lever 22 upwards, to disengage it turn the wrench 23 counter
clockwise (Fig. E1).
10) Place the fixing block 24 on the towball 25 (Fig. E2).
11) Close the clamping device by lowering the lever 22: at least 45 kg.
clamping force is required. (Fig. E2).
Adjustment of closing hand force
It is always necessary to make the first adjustment when the product is
purchased. Then, every time the product is used, the clamping force
must be checked and adjusted if necessary. In order to prevent accidents
and damage it is advisable to ask a second person to assist you in this
procedure as well. After disengaging and lifting the lever 22 the second
person must hold the cycle carrier in a horizontal position. The screw 26
must be adjusted with the wrench provided 27 so that the clamping
force on the lever is increased to a minimum of 45 Kg. (Fig. E2). Make
sure that the bike rack does not rotate when the clamping device has
been locked.

type test certificate.
- Weight and maximum capacity of "PARMA" bike racks:
* Model 706/4 (20,03 kg.) ---> 4 bikes, max. capacity 60 kg.
* Model 706/3 (17,38 kg.) ---> 3 bikes, max. capacity 60 kg.
* Model 706/3A (15,77 kg.) ---> 3 bikes, max. capacity 60 kg.
* Model 706 (15,58 kg.)
- Never exceed the permitted capacity of the towing hook installed.
The combined weight of the bike rack and the load must never
exceed the permitted capacity. Keep the towing hook ball surface
clean from dirt and oil.
- The driver is always responsible for the load he is transporting and
consequently he is also responsible for checking the fastenings both
before starting the trip and at regular intervals during the trip.
- Check the car manual for the specifications concerning the maximum
permissible rear axle weight.
- Verify compliance with the value D (maximum load bearing capacity)
of the towball specified by the car or towball manufacturer; the value
D for the towball must be at least (760 Kg) 7.6kN; older towballs
often only specify the permissible load on the towball G
total permissible load of the towing vehicle G
this case the value D can be calculated using the values specified in
the vehicle maintenance or registration booklet:

- Remove from the transported bikes children's seats, transport
baskets, rain covers or other elements that could get lost or increase
the air resistance.
- Do not carry more bikes than the number indicated for a specific
model.
