Bike rack for recreational vehicle ladder

Advertisement

For a pair of bikes, install the bikes on the Bike Rack
with the handlebars overlapping (see illustration below),
then install (1) 30" strap with a Superlock buckle by
placing the strap through the bike frame and around the
bike frame's fork member of both bikes (see illustration
below). Leave the strap slightly loose as it will tighten in
the following steps.
4. Install (1) 54" strap with Superlock buckle around the
rear axle support members of the outer bike and through
the rear wheel spokes. Continue to run the strap toward
the outer rail on either side of the ladder, inserting the
straps through the rear wheel spokes of the inner bike if
present. Wrap the strap around both rails of the ladder
with the buckle in the straight section of the strap behind
the ladder. Tighten strap until the bike(s) straighten up
and become parallel with the ladder. For dual bikes, this
step should tighten the previously installed strap around
the bikes forks. If not, adjust the fork strap until tight.
5. Final strap...
Tie (1) 12" Velcro strap around the handlebars of the two
bikes where they overlap. Tighten to keep the
handlebars and front wheels from swinging.
Three pieces of split round foam (provided) can be
inserted in any area where the bikes come into contact
with each other or any part of the mounting surface or
structure.
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
Check the straps and bike position occasionally,
especially if traveling on bumpy or unpaved roads.
Adjust into correct position as necessary, ensuring all
straps are tight at all times. It is the responsibility of the
user to verify bikes are secure to rack and rack is
secure to the ladder.
