Loading Bikes:
1. Move the ratchet arm forward. Push the ratchet release and move the ratchet hook assembly to the end of the ratchet arm
(NOTE 1 – diagram 7).
2. Put the bike into the wheel trays with the front wheel in the upswept wheel tray.
3. While holding the bike rotate the ratchet arm upward towards the fork crown.
4. Position the hook assembly tight against the fork crown or front brake of the bike (diagram 8).
5. Pull the hook downward so that the hook is tight against the tire. After the hook contacts the tire push down hard until you hear an extra
click in the ratchet release. NOTE: The hooks should be tight against the fork crown and the tire. Move the bike back and forth to ensure it is
fully seating. Readjust as necessary.
6. Move the strap in the rear wheel tray so it is positioned in the center of the tire (diagram 9).
7. Push the strap through the buckle and pull the strap tight. NOTE: On smaller wheels you will need to use the spacer block on the strap.
Repeat 6 and 7 on the front wheel tray strap.
8. If carrying one bike use the inside position, nearest to the vehicle. IMPORTANT: You have to ensure that all of the wheel straps are attached
and secure.
9. To lock your bikes rotate the key in the ratchet hook so the button cannot be depressed (diagram 10). NOTE: Never leave your bikes
unattended for any length of time. Locks are meant as a deterrent and won't prevent bike theft.
10. When the rack is not in use the main ratchet arm can be folded down and secured with wheel strap. The complete rack can be folded up
against the vehicle. Ensure that the cam lever is completely engaged before driving.
11. The rack can be tilted away from the vehicle by pulling the cam lever and lowering the rack and bikes. NOTE: Ensure you return the rack to
the level position before driving.
