Assembly Instructions for Quad 2 + 2
1. Remove main assembly from box.
2. For easier assembly, insert the main tube into your 2" Class 3 hitch.
3. Align the ratcheting upright bar assembly onto the center section of
the main assembly (Diagram 1). Position it so that it folds to the left
side when viewing from the back of the vehicle. This will allow for
easier use of the ratchet hooks. Secure with two carriage bolts,
washers and nuts. Do not tighten the bolts completely at this time.
4. The crossbars are in two pieces. You need to insert the male section
into the female section. Make sure that the small set screw holes at
1
2
the ends of the bars are both facing downward.
5. Insert the cross bar through the upright ratchet assembly. The square
hole on the bar should face up (Diagram 2). Insert one carriage bolt
through the cross bar and the bracket. Install the second bolt
through the side plate of the ratchet arm assembly (Diagram 3).
Tighten all of the bolts, including the ones on the upright ratchet arm.
6. Install one short hook and one long hook onto the upright ratchet
arm. NOTE: the short hook goes on fi rst (Diagram 4).
7. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for the second ratcheting upright arm and
cross bar.
8. Slide the wheel trays onto the cross bars. The wheel holders should
be installed so the upsweep is facing inward. The orientation of the
bikes will determine the best position for the 8 wheel holders. You
want to make sure the buckle side is facing towards you when you
are at the back of the vehicle. This will allow for easier use of the
3
buckle and strap. Review Bike Installation for more details on
loading bikes.

9. After all of the wheel trays are installed you will need to install the
small screws onto the underside ends of each arm. This will prevent
Short
Long
the wheel trays from sliding off if you forget to tighten the wheel tray
knob (Diagram 5).
Removing the 2 Bike add on section
1. Remove the 10mm Allen bolts with the supplied wrench.
2. Remove the 6mm set screw.
3. Remove the end section.
4. Put the extra end cap on the remaining section of the bike rack.
5. Store the add on section for future use.

INSTRUCTION SHEET PRODUCT: 64692 QUAD 2 + 2 Bike Rack • Page 2 of 3 2. T o fold the rack up when not in use, pull the lever on the upright arm and fold the ratchet arm assembly to the side. Remove the ½” pin and clip in the folding bracket assembly (Diagram 6). Move rack into the upright position and re-insert the pin into the hole that lines up. Move the rack back and forth to ensure you inserted the pin through the correct hole. Bike Installation: 1. P ull the lever on the bottom of the upright arm and fold down. This allows you to easily put the inside bike onto the rack (Diagram 7). The taller bike should go on the inside location. 2. Adjust the trays to the wheels of the bike so that they are all the way in the tray. Once they are adjusted tighten the knobs on the tray so that they are secure and cannot slide. 3. Fold the upright bar back into the upright position. You should hear a click to indicate the cam is engaged. NOTE: You may have to tilt the bike towards the vehicle to make it easier to fold the ratchet bar upright. 4. Push the longer hook down onto the bike. Press the release button on the hook to slide it more easily into place. Release the button when the hook is securely holding the bike. Releasing the button locks the hook in place and prevents it from any upward movement while in transit. Ensure the hook arm is fully locked into the notches on the upright arm. NOTE: You should always ensure that the hook is located in the lowest position on the top tube. It is usually at connection point of the top tube and the seat tube (Diagram 8). 5. Install the outside bike in the same manner using the short hook. NOTE: After complete installation check all pins and tighten knobs to ensure they are all tight and that the IMPORTANT: bikes are motionless in the rack. You have to ensure that all of the wheel straps are attached and secure. 6. T o lock your bikes rotate the key in the ratchet hook so the button cannot be depressed (diagram 9). NOTE: Never leave your bikes unattended for any length of time. Locks are meant as a deterrent and won’t prevent bike theft. - Page 3 INSTRUCTION SHEET PRODUCT: 64692 QUAD 2 + 2 Bike Rack • Page 3 of 3 • P roper fitting and installation of this carrier to your specific vehicle is critical, and is not the manufacturer’s responsibility. • I mproper use of this product may result in damage to your rack, your vehicle, your bicycles, or even other vehicles driving behind you as a result of colliding with or trying to avoid fallen bicycles and/or the rack. • T he purchaser should be aware that the load created by a rack and bicycles can exceed the maximum rating on the hitch or bumper. • S wagman Racks are powder coated to help prevent rust.

Veuillez véri er auprès du fabricant de vélo pour obtenir les détails particuliers. Swagman a conçu les modèles Semi 2.0 et Semi 4.0 pour répondre à ces types de cadre de carbone. Ces porte-vélos n’ont AUCUN contact avec le cadre puisque le crochet retient la roue au lieu du cadre. - Page 6 MODE D’ASSEMBLAGE PRODUIT : 64692 Porte-vélos Quad 2 + 2 • Page 3 de 3 • I l est conçu pour un usage régulier sur des routes revêtues ou des routes en gravier en bon état. Ne l’utilisez pas sur des chemins cahoteux ou en mauvais état risquant de soumettre le porte-vélos à des mouvements brusques ou des chocs répétés. Il est également déconseillé de l’utiliser sur un véhicule doté d’une suspension très rigide, car les secousses seront transmises directement aux porte-vélos et aux vélos. • L ’utilisation inadéquate du porte-vélos peut entraîner des dommages au porte-vélos, à votre véhicule, à vos bicyclettes ou aux véhicules qui vous suivent (après avoir frappé les vélos et/ou le porte-vélos ou en essayant de les éviter). • L ’acheteur doit veiller à ce que la charge créée par le porte-vélos et les vélos ne dépasse pas la charge maximale permise pour l’attache ou le pare-chocs. • L e revêtement des porte-vélos Swagman a été réalisé par poudrage afin de prévenir la rouille; cependant, il perdra son lustre si vous laissez le porte-vélos à l’extérieur pendant une longue période. Il est recommandé de ranger le porte-vélos à l’intérieur lorsque vous ne vous en servez pas. • P rotégez les tubes, les pièces et les accessoires de toute bicyclette qui pourrait entrer en contact avec une autre bicyclette ou avec votre véhicule afin d’éviter les dommages et les bris. Faites attention en chargeant et en déchargeant les vélos.
