ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
1. Remove main assembly from box.
2. 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.
3. 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
the ends of the bars are both facing downward.
4. 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.
5. Install one short hook and one long hook onto the upright ratchet
arm. NOTE: the short hook goes on first (Diagram 4).
6. 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 buckle and strap. Review Bike Installation for more details on
loading bikes.
7. 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
the wheel trays from sliding off if you forget to tighten the wheel
tray knob (Diagram 5).
INSTALLING THE RACK ON TO YOUR VEHICLE:
1. Insert the bike rack into the 2" Class 3 receiver. Install the 5/8"
threaded locking hitch pin and tighten to 50 ft lbs. (very tight). Put
on the lock head until it is securely attached.
2. If you are using the cable; loop the cable through the triangle
portion on the bike frames. Push the cable end with the collar
through the loop at the other end of the cable. The collar fits over
the locking hitch pin as shown in Diagram 6.
BIKE INSTALLATION:
1. Pull 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 these are adjusted tighten the knobs on the
tray so that they are secure and cannot slide.
