5.4 MOUNTING THE SHORT TENSIONING STRAPS

Figure 14: 6 x short tensioning strap
Insert the short tensioning strap from the inside to the outside
below the bike holder and then from the outside to the inside
through the slots of the bike holder (Figure 15). For the rear wheel
of the bicycle, use the centre slot of the wheel holder, for the front
wheel, use the two outer slots (two tensioning straps to prevent the
front wheel from turning).

5.5 MOUNTING THE BICYCLES TO THE REAR RACK

The fi rst bicycle is placed in the fi rst bicycle rail (closest to the
vehicle) and secured to the U-shaped bracket with the short frame
holder. To do this, use the side of the frame holder with the tensio-
ning strap to secure to the bicycle frame. The wheels are secured by
placing the tensioning straps around the wheel rim of your bicycle
and tightening the straps. Caution: The front wheel must be secured
with two small tensioning straps to prevent it from turning (Figure
16). The second bicycle is used placed in the second rail, facing the
opposite direction and secured to the U-shaped bracket with the
long frame holder. The wheels are secured in the same way as for
the fi rst bicycle. It may be necessary to off set the individual bicyc-
les diff erently on the rack to ensure that the frame holders may be
correctly secured. Now secure the bicycles with the long safety strap.
Wrap the safety strap through the bicycle frames and the U-shaped
bracket and tighten. (See Figure 17)
Without this safety strap, the bicycle rack may
not be used.

5.6 FOLDING UP THE BICYCLE RACK

First fold the wheel rails back onto the rack table. Push the locking
mechanism of the rear lights (Position 1 in Figure 18) outwards, and
then swivel the light mount back (Position 2 in Figure 18). Push it
fi rmly against the rack table until it engages perceptibly. Proceed
accordingly on the other side of the rack.
In order to store the bicycle rack as fl atly as possible, you can also fold
the U-shaped bracket down. To do this, undo the two knob nuts until
the U-shaped bracket comes out of the locking mechanism. Now you
can fold the U-shaped bracket down onto the rack table.

7. NOTES REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Due to its lighting system, the bicycle carrier is an
electrical device.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances in household
waste! Discarded electrical and electronic equip-
ment must be collected separately and recycled in an
environmentally sound manner.
Contact your municipal or city government on how to
dispose of old electronic equipment.
The materials are recyclable. You are making an
important contribution to protecting our environment
through recycling, material recycling or other forms of
re-utilising old appliances!
Dispose of the bicycle rack in accordance with the laws
and conditions in your country.

• If your vehicle has a 7-pin connection instead of a 13-pin one, the
corresponding assignments are listed below.
