Bike Rack (Optional)
Instructions pertaining to the bike rack are included in the documentation given to you at
the dealership. Please read and follow all provided care, maintenance, and safety
information. Store instructions in a safe place for future reference. Pass the documentation
on to any subsequent users of the bike rack.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that you read the supplied manufacturer’s
instructions when purchasing trailer.
Mounting of Bicycles on Rack
1. The first installation of the bikes on the rack must be done with the R SERIES ALTO roof
raised to make sure that no part of a bike will be in contact with the roof when it’s raised.
2. The first bike to be installed at the back of the rack should be the heavier of the two.
3. Make sure the pedal closest to the ALTO is at the top of its course. This helps to have
maximum clearance with the roof.
4. Attach the shorter of the two securing bars to a horizontal or vertical bar on the bike
frame.
5. Install the second bike in the opposite direction to the first. If the handles of the second
are touching the seat of the first, lower or remove the seat.
6. Attach the longer of the two securing bars to a horizontal or vertical bar on the frame of
the bike.
7. Install all four straps that secure the wheels to the support track. During the first
installation, adjust all four wheel wedges to prevent bikes from sliding sideways.
8. While towing, always check the bike rack whenever you make a stop.
When the bike rack is not in use, the lower section should be folded up and attached to the
vertical section with two of the straps used to secure the wheels to the support track.
If taking down the bike rack is required, remove the two bolts at the base of the rack. Then remove
the 2 holding pins close to the ALTO wall (photo K-30).
