5.7 Bicycle carrier Sawiko

The driver of the vehicle is responsible for ensuring that the
load has been fastened securely. This means that the bicycles
must be doubly secured on the carrier.
To secure
j
• The clip must be attached to the bicycle as high as
possible. We recommend that you use, for example, the
seat post or the handle bar stem.
• The wheels are strapped to the lower attachments
A rachet strap can be used as an additional means of
securing this load.

• Always maintain the permissible load-carrying capacity
of the carrier (80 kg) and never overload it.
• If the rear carrier is fully loaded, and depending on how
much the load juts out over it, the load on the rear axle
will be increased while it will be decreased on the front
axle. This can change the driving performance and stee-
ring and brake response of the vehicle.
• The carrier reduces the rear ramp angle of the vehicle.
Therefore, the vehicle may touch the ground when dri-
ving over uneven terrain.
• The rear licence plate must be centrally mounted bet-
ween the carrier's licence plate lights.
• Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean the carrier
as this may damage the surface protection.
• Use only original spare parts and accessories that have
been certified by SAWIKO in order to maintain your
rights from the guarantee.
• Simultaneous use of the eBike carrier and the tow-bar
is not permitted. Only one system may be mounted at a
time: either the eBike carrier or the tow-bar.
