MOUNTING OF THE BIKE CARRIER ONTO THE HITCH BALL
When mounting the bike carrier to the car, it is best that the car is parked
straight, the engine is turned off and the parking brake is activated. Make sure
that the hitch ball is undamaged, clean and not greasy!
TILTING MECHANISM
For easy access to the boot of your car, even if the bikes are mounted on the
carrier, you may use the tilting mechanism.
The bike carrier has two locking pins to
secure the tilting mechanism. To tilt the
carrier, you rotate the two locking pins by a
quarter turn so the handles are horizontal.
Subsequently you pull out the two pins. With
one hand, keep a firm grip on the frame or
the bikes, so that the carrier cannot fall
down in an uncontrolled movement. It is now
possible to tilt the carrier.
Make sure that both locking pins are secured before you continue
driving!
The bike carrier can be mounted with the coupler on the
hitch ball of your car. Slightly tighten the big bolt
(M16x90). Check if the carrier runs parallel to you car (or
bumper of your car). Next, tightly screw the bolt down with
the supplied key until the carrier can no longer move on
the hitch ball.
To secure the carrier again, you have to lift it and
push the two locking pins back in. Subsequently
you rotate the pins again by a quarter turn so the
handles are vertical with the long part downwards.
You will hear a click once they are secured.
