and fixed to the U-bolt with the long frame holder. Fix the running wheels as described for the
first wheel.
It may be necessary to place the bikes individually on the rear carrier, rather than as de-
scribed, so the frame holders can be fixed correctly. Now secure the bikes using the long
safety belt. For additional safety, run the safety belt through the bike frame and around the U-
bolt and tighten firmly.
Folding down the cycle rack
Hold the U – bracket with one hand so that the rack does not fold down suddenly. With the
other hand, turn the side securing bolt and pull this outside. Unlock the central securing bolt
and the rack can be folded down. If the rack table is lifted, this will click back into its working
position again. Turn the securing bolt until it clicks into position.
Clicked into position and secured!

Caution: you can see through the opening on the carrier table whether the carrier table is
locked or unlocked correctly.
Caution:
The safety instructions must be observed!
Observe the authorised axle load.
Before starting each journey and at regular intermediate intervals, check that the carrier is
sitting firmly on the vehicle and that the wheels are properly fixed to the carrier, in order to
detect and rectify any damage to the fixing elements at an early stage.
Before starting each journey and at regular intermediate intervals, verify the correct function
of the lighting system on your rear carrier.
With new hitches, there is frequently a thick black layer of paint on the tow ball. In order for
your rear carrier to gain the best possible grip, this layer of paint should be removed, using
corrosive fluid, solvents etc.
The load must not protrude sideways over the lighting by more than 400 mm.
The load must be fixed from the safety belt!
Parts that can be lost, e.g. such as air pumps, baskets, bells etc must be removed before
starting the journey.
Driving with a bike carrier affects the driving characteristics of a vehicle. You should therefore
adjust your driving speed. Avoid sudden and jerky steering movements.
When reversing, note that the carrier makes your vehicle longer than normal!
When not in use, the bike carrier should be removed.
When transporting bikes, do not cover with a blanket or similar.
The maximum speed is 130 Km/h
For proper and safe fitting, follow the fitting instructions precisely. If in doubt when referring to
these instructions, ask the dealer or the manufacturer directly for further information. For your
own safety, regularly check the carrier and its loading, as you are obliged to do so under § 23
of the German highway code and will be held liable in the event of damage.
The manufacturer and dealer will not be liable for damages to property or injuries to people
caused by incorrect fitting or improper use.
