68 Storage
Place the wheel recesses so that the
bicycle is roughly horizontal. Here,
the distance between the pedals and
the tailgate should be at least 5 cm.
Both bicycle tyres must be in the
wheel recesses.
Align the bicycle in the longitudinal
direction of the vehicle: Slightly
loosen the pedal mount.
Place the bicycle upright using the
rotary lever on the pedal crank
recess.
If the two bicycles obstruct one
another, the relative positions of the
bicycles can be adapted by adjusting
the wheel recesses and the rotary
lever on the pedal crank recess until
the bicycles no longer touch one
another. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance from the vehicle.
Tighten the attachment screw for the
pedal bearing mount to its maximum
point by hand.
Secure both bicycle wheels to wheel
recesses using strap retainers.
Check the bicycle to make sure it is
secure.
Caution
Ensure gap between bicycle and
vehicle is at least 5 cm. If
necessary, loosen handlebar and
swivel sideways.
The settings for the wheel recesses
and on the rotary lever on the pedal
crank recess should be noted and
saved for each bicycle. Correct
presetting will facilitate refitting of the
bicycle.
Note
It is recommended to attach a
warning sign at the rearmost bicycle
to increase visibility.
