− Important: Improper mounting or improper use may have dangerous consequences for you and for those around you for which you
shall
be fully liable.
− To ensure your personal safety and that of other users and to minimize liability risks, we ask that you carefully read the set
of
recommendations provided below; these recommendations are not restrictive and should not under any circumstances preclude the
user
from following basic rules of safety and common sense.
− Always keep these recommendations in your vehicle and make sure that any individual that may want to install the bike rack or
operate the
vehicle with the installed bike rack reads the recommendations. These recommendations Should you notice an anomaly with the
rack, please
contact your vendor before using.
LOADING BICYCLES
− Make sure that all bicycle parts are securely fastened. All accessories and removable devices must be removed from the
bicycles before
being transported (water bottle, removable lights, pump, etc.) to avoid loss.
−The bikes must be distributed on the bike carrier correctly by fitting them together compactly and as close as possible to the
vehicle. The
assembly's centre of gravity must be as low as possible, without the bikes touching the ground when crossing an obstacle
(sleeping
policeman, etc.).
− Load exceeding the parameters of the bike rack must meet regulatory specifications in force, and must be secured
appropriately.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure conformance with regulations applicable for each relevant country. Ex : in France, the
overall load
must not exceed 2,5m width.
− Make sure bicycle tyres are kept away from the exhaust pipes, as they may be damaged by hot exhaust gases.
− Do not let the straps fly loose.
− − Secure the bicycles with straps on the carrier support arms
− Check that no metal part of the bike carrier comes into contact with the bodywork.
− The registration plate and the lights must remain visible. Make sure that your board complies with the Highway Code.
− We recommend dismounting the bike rack when not in use, so as to avoid surprising an unaware pedestrian or driver.
− Keep the bike carrier in good condition; store it conveniently by rolling up the straps.
DRIVING
− Before every use, before departure and regularly throughout the drive, check that all elements are securely fastened. Tighten
the assembly
as necessary.
IMPORTANT : your vehicle is now longer and wider. Keep this in mind when manoeuvring. Drive cautiously and mind your speed: a
load
transported at the back of the vehicle affects how it handles (curves, lateral wind, road pavement, going in reverse, sharp
turns, etc.).
− Do not use the bike rack when doing off−road driving: major bumps may result in damage to your bike rack and your vehicle
(110 km/h max).
If the bike rack is used improperly or if these recommendations are disregarded, you, the user, are solely responsible for any
resulting damages.
