G. Loading bicycles onto rack:
1. Remove all loose items from bikes (pumps, bags, etc.) and check that all quick-release hubs are tight.
Never carry more than 4 bikes (max. capacity: 140 lb.). Car tail lights must remain visible.
2. Load first bike with its chain and gears facing away from rack. Make sure that bikes do not
come into contact with car (rotate inside pedal if necessary).
3. Load subsequent bikes in alternating directions. For best weight distribution, load heaviest
bikes first with lighter bikes on outside. Add padding between bike contact points, if necessary.
4. After bikes are loaded, check that entire rack is secure and that No-Wobble Bolt is tight, making
sure that rack is still firmly in place. Vision out of rear window may be restricted - use side
mirrors accordingly, especially when backing up.
