RACK
• Clean the bicycle rack and the extension with a mild
cleaning agent, with warm water and/or a soft cloth.
Before cleaning, remove coarse dirt and dust.
• Do not use solvents or similar cleaning agents since
these can damage the bicycle rack.
• Let the bicycle rack dry in the air. Do not use a hair
dryer or other heaters to speed up the drying process.
• Clean the bicycle rack regularly after use in coastal
areas and after use in winter conditions to remove salt
and thereby prolong the life of the bicycle rack.
• Store the bicycle rack in a dry and protected place for
longer periods without use (e.g. over the winter) in
order to prolong its service life.
• Before each ride, check the bicycle rack and the
extension for wear.
• Defective parts and tensioning belts must be replaced.
• In case of damage to the paint, make sure that the
damage is removed as quickly as possible in order to
prevent corrosion of the material.
• Please contact our customer service for the exchange
of parts.
• Any modi cation to original parts and materials or to
the construction of the bicycle rack may compromise
safety and performance.
Fasten the rst two bikes according to the instructions
on your bicycle carrier.
Place the third bicycle in the third wheel rail, facing the
opposite direction to the second. Connect the frame of
the third bicycle using the loose frame holder (position
3 in the overview) to the frame of the second bicycle.
Secure the wheels with the supplied short tensioning
straps. Use one tensioning strap to secure the rear
wheel and two for the front wheel (see gure 12) to
prevent them from turning.
Now secure the bicycles with the long safety strap
(position 4 in the overview). Wrap the safety strap
through the bicycle frames and the U-shaped bracket
and tighten.
The bicycles are removed in reverse order.
When used as intended, the bicycle rack and the
extension for the third bicycle are maintenance-free.
