Bike Installation; Important Notes - Swagman 64692 Instruction Sheet

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
bikes are motionless in the rack.
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.
WARNING
Due to the increase in thinner/lighter "carbon frame bikes" this rack may be
inappropriate because the hook clamps the frame. Please check with your bike
manufacturer for speci c details. We developed the Semi 2.0 and Semi 4.0 for
these types of Carbon frame bikes. They feature ZERO frame contact. The hook
arm grabs the wheels and not the frame.
