Yakima SpareRide Mode D'emploi page 4

Now that your SpareRide is tightened check the fit. The edge of the SpareRide must overlap
the tick mark on the tongue, or be at least even with it. If it does not reach the tick mark use
a longer tongue (See Using different tongues in step 2 to change tongue). The mast of the
SpareRide should compress into the spare tire when tightening. The mast should always
have full contact with the spare tire.
