12) Close the clamping device by lowering the lever 22: at least 45 kg.
clamping force is required. (Fig. F2).
Adjustment of closing hand force
It is always necessary to make the rst adjustment when the product is
purchased. Then, every time the product is used, the clamping force must
be checked and adjusted if necessary. In order to prevent accidents and
damage it is advisable to ask a second person to assist you in this
procedure as well. After disengaging and lifting the lever 22 the second
person must hold the cycle carrier in a horizontal position. The screw 26
must be adjusted with the wrench provided 27 so that the clamping
force on the lever is increased to a minimum of 45 Kg. (Fig. F2). Make
sure that the bike rack does not rotate when the clamping device has
been locked.
ONLY FOR ART.706/4
