Hollywood Racks Boomer - Manual (Page 2)

Installing the Boomer Rack on your vehicle.
1. Install the Boomer insert tube into the receiver of your vehicle, lining up the holes in the receiver with
the holes in the insert tube of your vehicle.
4. Secure the insert tube to your vehicle using the locking hitch pin, which is passed through the
receiver tube of your vehicle and the insert tube of the Boomer, secure it with the key provided.
5. It is essential that you use the locking hitch pin, since the No Wobble® system only
eliminates wobble, but does not secure the rack onto the vehicle.
4. Tighten the No Wobble® lever to eliminate any movement between the insert tube of the rack and
the receiver tube of your vehicle.
Mounting Bicycles on your Boomer Rack
1. After assembly of the Boomer and installation on your vehicle, you are ready to carry bicycles.
Before attaching bicycles, be certain that the Boomer is secured on your vehicle correctly, and locked
into the receiver using the locking hitch pin.
2. Loosen the locking knob of the top plate, by inserting the key provided. Remove key. Rotate the
knob(s) in a counter-clockwise direction to remove. Remove locking top plate assembly. Mount the top
tube of the bicycle on the lower rubber pad provided. Balance the bike(s) as much as possible.
Important Note: When carrying one bike, place that bike closest to vehicle.
3. When installing more than one bike, face the bikes in opposite
directions to facilitate saddle & handlebar clearance. Whenever
possible, place bikes of similar top tube diameter on same pad
group to equalize clamping pressure on the top tubes.
6. Place top plate over bicycles, and replace locking knob in
vertical threaded coupling nut. Thread the locking knob(s)
into the coupling nut, and turn in a clockwise direction to
secure bike(s) to the rack. Tighten locking knob securely,
but do not over- tighten. Lock bikes onto rack using key.
Using the Anti-sway bar and straps
5. Loosen the black knob, and turn the lower support
arm 90 degrees in the channel, then retighten the
knob. Place the 86” straps through both front and rear
wheels, and through the eyelet on the anti-sway bar.
Thread end of strap through buckle and tighten
securely. Repeat for other bicycles.
6. Wrap extra 86” tie down strap around the main beam
and through the bicycle(s) for final attachment on rack.
