blocking system and Rail Quick Rail, it is standard delivered for the transport of 2 bicycles.
Can be upgraded to the third rail to carry up to 3 bikes. Do not to exceed the max. weight of 50 kg.
- Fasten the Carry-Bike to the rear bearing structure of the vehicle.
- Because it is overhanging structure posteriorly installed, this overhang must be regulated
according to the regulations in force. After setting of Carry-Bike on rear axis of the vehicle,
normal weight's distribution on two axis could be modified; be sure that it doesn't exceed
the maximum permissible load (verify the data on your own logbook).
All-up weight of the vehicle has to be always verified in proper equipped area.
- We recommend that the area where the bicycle rack will be mounted be cleaned before
installation.
- To avoid excess abrasions on the vehicle's paint, before use check all points that may risk
being rubbed when the door is opened (they could be caused by the vehicle's construction
tolerances).
- Make sure that the luggage compartment is always closed.
- Make sure that the support brackets are located where they cannot move or shift sideways.
They also must not touch the roof of the vehicle, the hinges and the corresponding bolts or screws.
- Periodically check the bicycle rack to make sure it is firmly attached, especially after the first
10 km. Make sure the belts are not loose and that the holding brackets have not shifted.
- Make sure that fastening is secure: during each trip, stop and check that the bicycles are
securely fastened after the first short run.
- DO NOT COVER THE NUMBER PLATE OR LIGHTS. Repeat lights and plate in case
Carry-Bike covers them, even partially.

compressor have to be uncoupled and put away inside the vehicle. Bicycles have to be fixed
both with two Quick-Safe (one piece per wheel) and Security Strip (Bike-Block) on the frame.
Both Quick-Safe and Security Strip have to be periodically controlled. In case of damage,
they have to be immediately replaced. While fixing the bikes, verify that there is enough
distance between handlebars and/or pedals and vehicle's wall, to avoid to compromise the
painting.
- In the case of a long period of disuse, we suggest that you unhook the bike carrier.
- The load must be evenly distributed and must not exceed the maximum width of the vehicle.

longer braking distance. Pay attention to dangerous road crossing and garage's entrance.
