NOTE: Do not drop or let the support tube fall freely. Make sure that your

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Place the bike rack receiver into your receiver hitch. Fit rack as close to vehicle as possible.
2. For 2” hitch, secure rack with 5/8” hitch pin and clip.
For 1-
1/4” hitch, secure rack with ½” pin and clip
(See Diagram 2 & 4)
3. The bikes are loaded onto the rack alternating each bike, with the anti-sway cradle being closest to the seat tube.
(See Diagram 5)
4. Secure the bikes by pulling the bungee straps over the top of the bike frame. The anti-sway straps wrap around the
seat tube prevent the bike from swaying.
5. Check the bungee straps periodically and after stopping to insure that they are still tight and that someone has not
released them. NOTE: Insure all locks are locked, that all pins are secured, and that all bungee straps are properly
attached prior to moving the vehicle. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
