Seats and Stowage
Secure the stability of the bicycles with a strap
– To slacken the rubber part of the clamp, push both parts
against each other and open the clamp.
– Position the clamp with the rubber part to the front (in direction
of travel) as far as possible below the saddle rod and close the
clamp
– When transporting two bicycles tension the strap
between the saddle rods.
– Hang the carabines at the ends of the strap into the lashing
eyes behind the rear seats.
– Pull the strap through the tensioning clasp, first of all on the
one side and then on the other side.
– If it is necessary, the position of the bicycles in the vehicle can
be additionally rectified.
