Let's Go Aero V4 Four-Bike Carrier VME-V4 - Manual (Page 3)

V4 Bike Carrier
Operation
Securing Bicycles on Carrier
Set bike(s) on wheel cradles. Secure bike(s) to rack starting with the Wheel Toggles. Finish securing with the Double
Toggles. Telescope the rack away from the vehicle before loading the rack. Load bikes, starting with the inner-most
position (closest to the vehicle). Slowly move the carrier into the non-telescoped, slid-in position and secure the Handle
Silent Hitch Pin® before transit.
Loading TIP: Load bicycle onto the carrier with the bicycle chain facing outward from the Wings and the inside pedal positioned
downward. This helps keep chain lube off the carrier, and provides open space in the lower, center portion of the “V” for the
inside pedal(s) to fit easily. Load the second bike so its handle bars face in the opposite direction of the first bicycle for clearance.
Double Toggles TIP: The Double Toggles provide a number of ways to achieve Constant Tension™ of your bicycle to the carrier,
using one or both double toggles to capture the fork, chain stay, or seat stay. Loop the Toggle over the pedal, crank, or other
position on bicycle, allowing the elastic feature to pull the bike both down and inward against the Wing pads. The Constant Ten-
sion™ removes both “front to back” and “side-to-side” sway, firmly seating the bicycle during transit.
V4 Teleporter Tilt Positioning
When the rack is not in use, the Teleporter can be placed
in the tilted position in order to reduce the distance the
rack extends from the vehicle. Remove the Wings from
the Base Plate prior to tilting the Teleporter. Remove the
Tilt Pin, move the Teleporter to the tilt-up position and
reinsert the Tilt Pin.
The Telescope Tube can be removed and flipped upside
down in order to provide rear vehicle liftgate access for
most vehicles while the Teleporter is in the tilted position.
Ensuring the Tilt Pin is Snug
Verify the Tilt Pin is snug by observing it pulling the side
plates together against the Telescope Tube prior to use.
When the Tilt Pin is snug, the spring tension of the Side
plates keeps the Tilt Pin tight. Use a 3/4” wrench or ap-
propriate tool to tighten the Tilt Pin if necessary.
