- Keep a minimum distance of 20cm between the ground and the lowest part of your load in order to avoid any risk of collision between the road and
your bicycles.
- Tighten and check the tension of all the straps and wheel hubs during each inspection of the bicycle rack and, in particular, on unpaved and small
roads. Regularly check that all the equipment is properly secured.
- The load should be properly secured with the strap provided for this function.
- It is your responsibility to check the condition of the fabric straps and to replace them if they are worn out (even if only partially).
- The load must be correctly mounted on the bars of the bicycle rack and the load's centre of gravity should be as low as possible.
- A load which is wider than the vehicle must conform to the relevant laws and must be secured.
- Do not use any plastic devices.
- Disable your vehicle's automatic windscreen wipers until you are sure that the bicycle rack is compatible with them. Some vehicles have rear
windscreen wipers which function automatically. Check whether you can disconnect the rear windscreen wipers.
- It is not advised to transport electric bicycles with a bicycle rack with straps. We strongly recommend a towable platform bicycle rack to transport
electric bicycles.
■Avoid:
Poor roads, sharp acceleration and braking, bad linkages.
■We advise you:
- To slow down significantly before speed bumps or any other obstacle.
- To drive smoothly, to look ahead.
- To limit your speed in corners.
- When manoeuvring (parking etc.) do not forget that your vehicle is longer.
- Do not try to open the boot when the bicycle rack is installed and loaded (with bicycles).
■Maintenance of the bicycle rack:
- Do not use chemical or aggressive products to clean the bicycle rack.
- Immediately replace any defective item and do not use the bicycle rack before complete reparation.
- Remove the bicycle rack from the vehicle in automatic or high pressure car washes.
- Store your bicycle rack carefully together with the mounting instructions after each use in a dry and well-ventilated place.
- If used during the winter, wash the bicycle rack each time in order to remove salt. For this, use water and a mild soap, rinse and dry your equipment
before putting it away.
