INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Unfold the two side arms as shown (diagram 1) and insert the lynch
pins. Ensure that the pins are all the way in.
2. Slide the 4 wheel holder trays on to the bottom arms alternating the
direction of the trays (diagram 2). Do not tighten them at this time,
as they will have to be adjusted to t each bike that you are carrying.
After the wheel holders are installed you will need to screw in the 2
metal screws at the end of each arm. This will prevent wheel holders
from coming o.
3. Slide the hooks onto the upright portion alternating the direction
(diagram 2).
4. Insert the Universal Foot into the 2” square section at the bottom of
the rack (diagram 2).
5. Tighten the two set-screws to secure the receiver bar tight against
the square section. Check the set-screws periodically to ensure they
are tight (diagram 4).
6. Now take the whole assembly and install on the vehicle and insert
the threaded pin and clip. Torque to 40 ft. /lbs
7. If the rack is to be used on 1-1/4” receiver you will need to remove
the Allen Bolt that holds on the spacers (diagram 5).
BIKE INSTALLATION:
1. Pull the pin on the bottom of the upright arm and fold down. This
allows you to easily put the inside bike onto the rack (diagram 3).
2. Adjust the trays to the wheels of the bike so that they are all the way
in the tray. Once these are adjusted tighten the knobs on the tray so
that they are secure and cannot slide (diagram 6).
3. Fold the upright bar back into the upright position and insert the pin.
4. Push the hook down onto the bike. Press the button below the
hook to slide it more easily into place. Release the button when
the hook is securely holding the bike. Releasing the button locks
the hook in place and prevents it from any upward movement while
in transit. Ensure the hook arm is fully locked into the notches on
the upright arm. NOTE: The hook should always be mounted at the
lowest part on the top tube. This is at the intersection of the top tube
and seat tube (diagram 6). Failure to do this can allow the bike to
release from the rack.
5. Install the outside bike in the same manner. NOTE: After complete
installation check all pins and tighten knobs to ensure they are all
tight and that the bikes are motionless on the rack.
