Before mounting the rack to the rear of your vehicle, it is important that you
observe the following recommendations: DETERMINE THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS
ABLE TO HAVE THIS RACK SAFELY ATTACHED TO THE CAR BODY.
1.
Before each use and prior to installing the carrier onto the car - clean the
car surfaces that the rack will contact as well as the surface of the sponge
pads on the carrier.
Use bolt with toothed knob, spring, snap and screws to connect two tubes, as
Fig.2 shows.
By loosening the large black hand knobs (Fig.3) on each of the carrier arm to
adjust it to fit your vehicle. As you do this you will notice the round pieces
with teeth separate from each other allowing the arms to move.
2.
Install the straps to the iron buckle, strap2 is on both sides of the tube,
strap1 is in the middle of the tube, as Fig.4 shows.

3.
Use the wrench to install the plug on
the tube with screws, as Fig.5 shows.
4.
Position the carrier onto the rear of the car. It is recommended that the
arms that hold the bicycles be positioned so that they are parallel to the
ground or pointed slightly up. You may have to try this a few times until you

get the correct fit. Once the arms are positioned to fit correctly on your car,
tighten the large round hand knobs to secure the adjustment. Make sure the
teeth interlock with each other when you tighten the knobs. Attach the top
straps with the wide clips to the top of the trunk or hatch lip. On some cars
you may have to open the trunk or hatch slightly to allow the clips to fit.
Adjust the length of the top straps so that the carrier rests in its final
position. Next, attach the bottom straps
with the wide clips to the bottom of the
trunk lid or hatch lip.
Note:
Depending on the size and shape of
the car's trunk or hatch lid, you can adjust

the fit of the rack by moving the arms to
one of the three mounting holes provided
on the side of the rack (Fig.6). Disassemble
the arms by completely unscrewing the
hand knobs, remove the parts and
reassemble them in the position that best
fits your vehicle.
5.
Mount the bikes onto the cradles on the carrier arms and secure the top of
the bike to the carrier by pulling the rubber straps over the frame of the bike
and attaching to the cleat on the cradle (2 cradles for each bike, one on each
carrier arm). Do not over-tighten the rubber straps since doing so will
shorten the life of the straps. Check to make sure that bicycle parts such as
handlebars and pedals are not in contact with the car body. You may have to
rotate the pedals or handlebars to make sure they do not contact the car.
