VERSA BIKE RACK INSTRUCTIONS
Use of rack
Open the wheel bails and loosen the D-tube knob
so that the D-tubes can be moved. Re-position
the D-tubes so that the loop end of the D-tube
extends out equally on each side and appear to
give adequate access for loading a bike wheel
into the bails.
1
Starting with the bike mount position that is
closest to the vehicle, place the bicycle wheels
into the bails alternating the direction the bikes
are facing when mounted on the rack.
2
Place the first bike in the wheel bails and
re-position the D-tubes so that the bike is held
secure. Tighten the D-tube clamp securely.
Attach the straps through the bike wheels at each
loop end. Repeat for the second bike. Failure to
tighten the D-tube clamp could result in damage
to the rack and loss of bikes from the rack.
3
To utilize the cable lock, stretch it through the
bike frames and attach it to the bail below the
reflector on the folding frame using a padlock.
