• Page 1 of 2
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Attach cross bar (B) to upper tube (A) as shown in Fig. 1, using 5/16" x 1-1/2" bolts, 5/16" lock washers, and 5/16" nuts. Insert plastic end caps
into upright tubes.
2. Assemble lower tube retainer brackets (C) to rear bumper using 3/8" U-bolts, lock washers and nuts. Do not tighten the nuts. Insert upper
tubes into pockets in retainer brackets, and secure with lock pin on either right or left side, as shown in Fig. 1. Tighten the 3/8" nuts.
3. Bikes must be secured to the carrier crossbar with the (2) nylon straps provided as shown on in Fig. 3 to avoid any possible separation. It is
the owner's responsibility to check the tightness of the strap periodically for continued safety. It is also recommended to tie the bike wheels
together with material not supplied with this kit to prevent the wheels from turning. Do not create any downward vertical force on any part
of the carrier when so securing tying the bikes. Carefully read and follow the important notes on page 2.
BIKE CRADLE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Position one of the anti-sway cradles close to the seat tube.
2. Secure the bikes by pulling the strap over the top tube of the bike frame (Fig. 2).
3. The second strap is to go around the seat tube. This will help prevent the bikes from swaying. On the opposite cradle pull both straps over
the top tube.
4. You should check the straps periodically and after stopping to ensure they are still tight and that they have not loosened. Failure to do so will
void warranty.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY STRETCH OR ELASTIC CORDS TO SECURE BIKES WHATSOEVER. USE OF SUCH CORDS MAY CREATE
EXCESSIVE FORCES BEYOND THE CARRIER'S LOAD CAPACITY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CARRIER, BIKES, AND/OR VEHICLE.
Maximum capacity of carrier is 70 lbs. Do not exceed manufacturer's rated bumper capacity.
