Product Code:
Product Name:
59400 / 59403
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• This bicycle rack has been designed to carry two/three (2/3) bikes, as long as the maximum weight on the rack
does not exceed 36 kgs or 80 lb.
• This rack 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.
• 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 rack, 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).
• ROLA™ racks are powder coated to help prevent rust. As with any metal equipment it is recommended that
you keep the rack clean and remove road salt and debris.
• When leaving them 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.
• The rack won’t carry bikes with elliptical frame tubes or unusually large frame sizes.
• 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 should be kept at least 6” away from the exhaust pipes of the vehicle. The high temperature
exhaust exiting from the exhaust pipes is hot enough to melt or damage tires. 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 wind resistance
Please read all instructions carefully before assembly, installation and/or use of this product.

• Bikes fitted with large accessories (such as child carrying seat) will greatly increase the wind resistance
and therefore the pressure on the rack and all vehicle-mounting points. Reducing vehicle speed will reduce
the chance of any problems occurring because of this situation.
• After reading this manual, should you have any additional questions regarding the compatibility, fitting and/or
use of this rack, please call your nearest ROLA™ authorized retail dealer or Cequent Consumer Products
Customer Service.
WARNING:
• Improper mounting will void the rack warranty.
•
Damage to bicycles or rack due to ground clearance problems are not covered by warranty.
