Yakima 20mm Fork Adapter Mode D'emploi

Installation
is a 3-part process:
- Remove Front Wheel
- Install Fork Adapter
- Attach to Bike Rack
INSTALL FORK ADAPTER: Attach the FORK
ADAPTER while your bike is still on the ground.
• Slide the FORK ADAPTER between fork drop outs. Slide axle back
through fork dropouts, and through the FORK ADAPTER.
• Tighten all axle clamp bolts as you would if you were installing your
front wheel.
FORK ADAPTER legs must run parallel with the fork
leg, unless you are running several bikes on your
rack. Conflicting handlebar heights require the FORK
ADAPTER to be rotated (maximum of 180°).
ATTACH TO FORK-MOUNTED BIKE RACK.
• Check that all bolts are tight and the FORK Adapter is
securely attached to your fork.
• Attach the FORK ADAPTER onto your fork-mounted rack.
(Follow the manufacturer's directions on tightening down
the quick release before driving away.)
Be sure FORK ADAPTER and bike are both
mounted securely to your bike rack before driving.
BEFORE RIDING:
• Check your fork bolts, making sure all
bolts are tight and secure and that your
front brake works properly.
• Off-road driving is not recommended and
could result in damage to your vehicle or
your bike.
