This document describes the assembly and instruction manual for the INag002V01_UK B4-0094 bike carrier, a product from HOMCOM.

Function Description:

The INag002V01_UK B4-0094 is a vehicle-mounted bike carrier designed to transport bicycles. It attaches to the vehicle's tow hook and provides a secure platform for carrying multiple bikes. The carrier is equipped with a lighting board to ensure visibility and compliance with road regulations, as it may obscure the vehicle's original lights and license plate. The design includes various fastening mechanisms to secure the bikes during transit.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Tare Weight: 15 kg.
  • Maximum Bearing Load (Tow Bar Attachment): The tow bar attachment must tolerate a maximum bearing load greater than 60 kg.
  • Bike Capacity: Can transport 1, 2, or 3 bikes, with a total weight of up to 45 kg.
  • Tow Hook Requirement: The vehicle must be equipped with a type-approved tow hook with a maximum bearing load of at least 50 kg, specifically type ST 52-3 or GGG52.
  • Bike Weight Limit per Position: Each bike position on the carrier has a maximum weight limit of 15 kg.
  • Bike Frame Diameter Compatibility: Compatible with bike frames ranging from a minimum of Ø30mm to a maximum of Ø50mm.
  • Maximum Recommended Driving Speed: Never exceed 120 kph when transporting bikes. Adhere to the speed prescribed by the Highway Code.
  • Speed Limit for Sharp Turns/Bad Road Conditions: Maintain a speed under 40 km/h in these situations.

Usage Features:

  • Assembly: The manual provides detailed steps for assembling the bike carrier, including attaching the lighting board, main support frame, and bike fastening mechanisms.
  • Mounting to Vehicle: The carrier is designed to be fitted onto the vehicle's tow hook. Users are instructed to switch off the engine, turn the ignition key to the off position, and apply the hand brake before mounting.
  • Bike Loading: Bikes are secured to the carrier using adjustable straps and clamps. The manual illustrates how to position bikes and secure them properly, emphasizing the 15 kg weight limit per bike.
  • Opening Mechanism: The carrier features an opening mechanism, which must always be closed and fastened during transit.
  • Visibility: When assembled, the bike carrier must be equipped with a license plate, as the vehicle's original license plate will be hidden. The integrated lighting board ensures rear visibility.
  • Driving Safety:
    • Avoid sharp braking or acceleration.
    • Avoid sharp turns.
    • Be aware that the total width and height of the vehicle increase when the bike carrier is mounted, especially with bikes loaded.
    • Exercise caution during backward motion.
  • Tilting Feature: The carrier can be tilted (approximately 90 degrees) to allow access to the vehicle's trunk, even with bikes loaded. This feature is demonstrated in the instructions.
  • Weight Distribution: The manual implicitly suggests a balanced distribution of weight, with each bike position supporting up to 15 kg. The overall load should not exceed 45 kg.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe the product with a wet towel or industrial alcohol.
  • Lubrication: For screw parts, apply lubricating oil or rust-proof oil.
  • Storage: Store the carrier in a dry place.
  • Washing Vehicle: Remove the carrier before washing the car. Avoid contact with corrosive solvents or cleaning washes.
  • Regular Inspection:
    • After initial assembly and a short drive, check all fastening mechanisms (screws, straps, nuts).
    • Continue to check these mechanisms at regular intervals, more frequently if driving on bad roads.
  • Product Improvement Clause: The manufacturer reserves the right to improve the product's appearance and design without prior notice. Users are advised not to worry if there are minor differences from the instruction manual.
