1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7 DO NOT use the cycle carrier if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause failure or possible personal injury.
p WARNING! Due to the variety in design of vehicles & cycles, it is the users full responsibility to ensure no damage occurs whilst using this
cycle carrier. Correct attachment of carrier to a vehicle is therefore critical and is beyond control of the manufacturer, distributor, or supplier.
p WARNING! The user must secure the carrier and any cycles to be carried properly, checking the security frequently when in use.
3 Use strong, good quality tie restraints for securing cycles to the carrier. DO NOT use string, or elasticated straps.
3 If the load obscures the vehicle registration plate or lights fit an auxiliary number plate and/or lighting system.
3 Avoid damage caused by hot exhaust fumes do not position cycles directly next to the vehicle exhaust, especially the bicycle tyres. If
necessary fit an exhaust deflector.
3 Ensure that bicycles do not come into contact with the vehicle bodywork and provide protection as required.
3 For hatchbacks and estate vehicles ensure the foam protection pads make contact should the carrier’s arms rest on the rear window.
3 For hatchback vehicles with a glass edge you must use adaptor kit model no BS3/1 and ensure the window is protected by the kits pads.

overload the rear hatch door.
r WARNING! Remove any loose objects from the bikes i.e pumps, bottles etc.
