Please read all instructions carefully before assembly, installation and/or use of this product.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• DO NOT EXCEED the lowest of vehicle manufacturer’s or hitch mfg’s maximum tongue weight rating,
or cargo basket weight limit .
• This bike carrier is designed for typical use and applications (on paved or smooth gravel roads). Do not use
this rack on a vehicle that will be driven on rough roads or where the rack (and bikes) will be subjected to
significant or constant jarring and/or shock, or any vehicle with very stiff springs that will transfer the load
shocks directly to the rack and the bikes.
• Always check security of all clamps, bolts, & straps during trip at fuel and rest stops.
• Replace straps if they appear worn or frayed.
• Proper fitting and installation of this carrier to your specific vehicle is critical, and is the owner’s sole
responsibility.
• Improper use of this product may result in damage to your vehicle, your bicycles, or even other
vehicles driving behind you (as a result of colliding with or trying to avoid fallen bicycles and/or the rack).
• When leaving the bike carrier outside for extended periods of time the finish will lose its luster. It is
recommended that when not in use the rack is stored indoors.
• Take care to add padding on any area of the bikes that touches another bike or any part of the vehicle.
Damage can and will happen (to your bikes and/or to the vehicle) if care is not taken during the loading and
transporting of your bikes, and padding used where necessary.
• Bicycle tires and parts should be kept at least 6” away from the exhaust pipes of the vehicle. The high
temperatureexhaust exiting from the exhaust pipes is hot enough to melt or damage tires and bike. Keep all
bike tires totally away from the direct exhaust flow.
• Bikes fitted with large accessories (such as child carrying seat) will greatly increase the possibility of
interference with mounting to the carrier on the cargo basket and vehicle.
