DAMAGE
Become familiar with the Superlock strap buckle to
make sure all of your straps are threaded properly.
When threaded properly, the strap will allow you to
adjust and tighten as necessary (See Diagram #2). If
threaded improperly, the strap buckle will slip and the
strap will loosen.
Refer to Diagram #2 showing how the buckle is to be
threaded. The Superlock buckle requires the strap to be
straight in the section it is applied in order to apply
proper locking force within the buckle; NEVER use the
Superlock buckle on a curved section of the strap.
CAUTION
CAUTION
In all cases, after threading the buckle and installing
each strap, make sure all straps are pulled tight.
INSTALLATION
How to mount the Bike Rack to your permanently-
mounted RV ladder.
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
Install at a height sufficient for the mounted rack to
have adequate clearance from the lowest point of the
bike to the road surface. Verify the loaded bike does
not extend past the side of the RV or cause any
interference and/or obstruct the driver's view.
1. Determine the appropriate rung of the ladder to mount
to, normally the step immediately above the ladder's
support standoffs, approximately the 4th step up. Install
the Atwood Bike Rack onto the ladder following the
steps pictured below.
