Hollywood Racks E2 Express Instructions D'installation

Installation Instructions for Hollywood
Model E2 Express bicycle carrier
When using your new Hollywood E2 Express rack, please follow these important
recommendations:
• Install the Express rack on structurally sound trunks and rear decks only. If you own a Mini Van or Sport
Utility Vehicle (SUV), be sure to read the special notes below.
• Never attach hooks to aluminum, plastic, glass, fiberglass or carbon fiber. If in doubt, check the surface
with a magnet. If the magnet sticks, it's okay to use the rack. If not, do not use the rack on the subject
vehicle. The rack strap hooks can damage non-steel surfaces. Hooks may be attached to roof rack cross
bars. Check the contour of the bar first to be certain that it will accept and retain the hook securely.
• Clean the surface of the trunk, rear door or deck lid before installation of the rack. Clean the surfaces of
the sponge pads on your Express rack. Dirt trapped between the pads of the rack and the trunk can scratch
the vehicle's paint due to the abrasive composition of dirt.
• Tighten all four straps both before and after mounting bikes on the rack.
• Weight capacity 35 lb. per bike (no Electric Bikes)
• Use the upper rubber tie down straps, two per bike when securing your bike(s) to the rack.
• Always use the attached Safety Strap after loading all of the bicycles onto the Express rack. This final
Safely Strap should be threaded through all of the bikes, and the frame of the Express rack itself.
• Keep the bicycle tires at least one foot away from the
exhaust pipe(s). Automotive exhaust is hot enough to melt
bicycle tires.
• Check the rack, bikes and straps regularly during use.
• Drive slowly when used on bumpy or rock/dirt surface
roads.
Mounting the Hollywood Express Rack on Your Vehicle:
Your new Express 2-bike rack comes to you fully assembled
in the box, so there is no assembly to do on the rack itself.
There will be some adjustment and set-up required so that the
Express 2 will fit on your vehicle correctly. Please read and
Fig. 2
adhere to all instructions as follows:
1. After removing your Express 2 rack from the box, loosen the black hubs by turning the hub adjustment
knobs counter-clockwise. This will allow the two sections of the rack frame to move relative to one another
for correct rack placement on your vehicle. Note how the teeth on the hubs interlock into place. See Fig. 2.
The Express 2 is adjustable to clear small spoilers.
