and install the lock washer and hex nut onto the hitch

bolt is used in place of hitch ball, a grade 5, ¾" thread

MUST be used.

bikes loaded on rack. See Diagram 3 for bike mounting options.
1. First, remove the top plate by loosening the two plastic knobs.
2. Load one bike into the first "V-Groove" (closest to vehicle) so the horizontal
seat tube of the bike rests on the rubber lined "V-Groove". Adjust position
of bike to find its center of gravity.
3. Position the next bike into the middle "V-Groove" so the handle bars face in
opposite direction.
4. Position the third bike into the last "V-Groove" so the handle bars face in
the opposite direction of middle bike.

Two Bikes
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. To prevent the front wheels and handlebars from moving during transport, we recommend a nylon strap or a
bungee cord, routed through the bike wheel and around the bike frame.
2. To lock bikes onto your bike carrier, use a standard padlock through the holes in the top plates. We also
recommend running a lock cable from the padlock through the front wheels to secure quick release wheels to bike
carrier.
3. Your bike rack assembly may also be secured to your vehicle using a locking hitch pin if desired.
