PRODUCT: 64650 XC 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" & 1-1/4" Receiver • Page 2 of 2
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 specific 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.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
•
This bicycle rack has been designed to carry 1 or 2 bikes.
•
This rack is designed for typical use and applications (on paved or smooth gravel
roads). Do no use this rack on a vehicle that will be driven on rough roads or where
the rack (and bikes) will be subject to significant or constant jarring and/or shock,
or any vehicle with very stiff springs that will transfer the load shock directly to the
rack and bikes.
•
Proper fitting and installation of this carrier to your specific vehicle is critical, and is
not the manufacturer's responsibility.
•
Improper use of this product may result in damage to your rack, your vehicle, your
bicycles, or even other vehicles driving behind you (as a result of colliding with or
trying to avoid fallen bicycles and/or the rack.
•
The purchaser should be aware that the load created by a rack and bicycles can
exceed the maximum rating on the hitch or bumper.
•
Swagman Racks are powder coated to help prevent rust. When leaving
them outside for extended periods of time the finish will lose its luster. It is
recommended that when not in use it is stored indoors.
•
Take care to add padding on any area of the bikes that touches another bike or
any part of the vehicle. Damage can and will happen (to your bikes and/or to the
vehicle) if care is not taken during the loading and transporting of your bikes, and
padding used where necessary.
•
Bicycle tires should be kept at least 6" away from the exhaust pipes of the vehicle.
The high temperature exhaust exiting from the exhaust pipes is hot enough to
melt or damage tires. Keep all bike tires totally away from the direct exhaust flow.
•
Bikes fitted with large accessories (such as a child carrying seat) will greatly
increase the wind resistance and therefore the pressure on the rack and all vehicle
mounting points. Reducing vehicle speed will reduce the chance of any problems
occurring because of this situation.
•
After reading this manual, should you have any additional questions regarding
the compatibility, fitting, and/or use of this rack, please call your nearest Swagman
authorized retail dealer or Swagman Customer Service.
Mounting the bike rack on a Trailer or 5th Wheel:
1. Purchaser is advised that the load created by rack and bicycles will exceed the
strength of trailer or 5th wheel bumper, mounting location or the bike rack. The
rack is not under warranty if mounted in this location.
