Cequent Tow Ready 63132 Manual

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS BIKE CARRIER ON A
TRAILER OR 5th WHEEL R.V.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Assemble both tubular sections together as shown in Diagram
1 and fasten together with the one-way bolt provided.
Securely tighten bolt.
2. To attach bike carrier to your hitch ballmount, line up the hole
in bike carrier mounting bracket with the hole in ballmount.
3. Insert the hitch ball through bike carrier and ballmount and
install the lock washer and hex nut onto the hitch ball.
NOTE: The hitch ball must have a ¾" thread. If a hex bolt is
used in place of hitch ball, a grade 5, ¾" thread hex bolt, a
large diameter flat washer, and lock washer MUST be used.
4. Tighten hitch ball or Grade 5 hex bolt to 160 ft-lb.
5. On receiver style hitches, attach bike rack
to ballmount, then insert ballmount into
receiver and secure with pin and clip.
LOADING BIKES ONTO CARRIER:
NOTE: The position of bike can vary depending on the number
of bikes loaded on rack. See Diagram 3 for bike mounting
options.
1. First, remove the top plate by loosening the plastic knob.
2. Load one bike into the first "V-Groove" (closest to vehicle) so
the horizontal seat tube of the bike rests on the rubber lined
"V-Groove". Adjust position of bike to find its center of gravity.
3. Position the next bike into the middle "V-Groove" so the handle
bars face in opposite direction.
Single Bike
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. To prevent the front wheels and handlebars from moving during transport, we recommend a nylon strap or a
bungee cord, routed through the bike wheel and around the bike frame.
2. To lock bikes onto your bike carrier, use a standard padlock through the holes in the top plates. We also
recommend running a lock cable from the padlock through the front wheels to secure quick release wheels to bike
carrier.
3. Your bike rack assembly may also be secured to your vehicle using a locking hitch pin if desired.
