MOUNTING OF THE BIKES ON THE BIKE CARRIER
Remove all parts from the bikes that could easily be lost (E-
bike batteries, bike pumps, speedometers, baskets, panniers,
bicycle seats etc.) during transport. These parts may become
loose by the increased air resistance and vibration and put
other road users at risk.
The first (and heaviest, max 30kg) bike has to be placed in the rear wheel holder
(the one which is the nearest to the car) and secured with the short frame holder
on the U-tube.
Clamp the frame of the bike with the frame holder
and turn the lockable button tight.
Always lock the frame clamp with the key
(the "lock" sign on the button and the red sign on
the metal plate indicate if the frame holder is
locked or unlocked).
Place the second bike in opposite direction in the second wheel holder and you
secure it with the long frame holder.
The wheels stand in the stable aluminium wheel holders and have to be blocked
with the black "stoppers" while driving. Move the stoppers to the tyres (release
the plastic button, slide the stopper and tighten the button again).
Finally you have to secure the wheels
with the included straps that are fixed
on the "stoppers".
Please pay attention that the front
wheel is attached using double
straps (see picture)!
Now secure the bikes using the long safety
belt (included in delivery). Run the safety belt
through the bike frame and around the U frame
and tighten firmly.
These additional straps can be equipped with
the rubber covers (included in delivery), to
protect the rim of your bike from damage.
