ASSEMBLE RACK

1. Match the letters on the end of each tray to the letters on the side of the hitch spine. Secure with M8 bolts and torque to 12N•M, as shown.
   NOTE: Assembly of this rack may be easier while the spine is in your vehicle's hitch.
   

ATTACH TO VEHICLE

1. Insert the rack into your hitch, matching the holes on your vehicle's receiver to the holes in the rack.
   
2. Install the hitch pin through the receiver pinhole and attach the lock.
   
3. Tighten the knob at the end of the rack base until the rack is tight in the vehicle's receiver. An extra lift on the rack while tightening the knob will ensure there is no wobble once the bikes are loaded.
   

LOAD BIKES

2. Press and hold the button at the top of the wheel hook and pull the arm out.
