damage caused by pistons not suited to support the weight of the carry-bikes.
It is also advisable to carry out the installation carefully and to check,
during automatic closure of the tailgate, the correct adherence of the lower

these installation and usage instructions as well as the laws for driving in

that the product has not been damaged. In the event of damage, contact your
local retailer before moving the vehicle. Fiamma declines every responsibility
for any modification of the product that may cause damage and/or injury to

Checking that the wall/rear door is suffi ciently solid and suitable for
guaranteeing the resistance of the anchoring points is always mandatory. If
not, strength and compliance with the maximum load indicated in the
instructions are not guaranteed and it will be necessary to reinforce these
points.
After having positioned the Carry-Bike on the rear axle of the vehicle, the
normal weight distribution on both axles would be modified. This variation must
not exceed the maximum permissible axle load.
Never exceed the maximum permitted length and the total weight of the full-
load vehicle.
Make sure that loading occurs following a correct weight distribution; it must
be uniformly distributed (the heaviest bike must be placed near the wall of
the vehicle) to ensure better stability.
Always give warnings about the presence of the Carry-Bike on your vehicle,
using a clearly signal for leaning loads and, in case of limited rear
visibiliy, use the additional rear-view mirrors.
Take into account the presence of the Carry-Bike, paying attention during
driving and expecially during reversing manoeuvres, particularly if you have
parking assist system.
Always comply with speed limits and the Highway Code.
The speed should always be suitable to traffic conditions and towed load.
In case of use of the bike carrier with tow make sure that the tow hook is
always accessible and the corner mobility of the tow is guaranteed (volume
measuring din 74058).
Check periodically the bicycle rack to make sure it is firmly attached,
especially during the first kilometers of after long trips to avoid damages of
the Carry-Bike/vehicle. Make sure the belts are not loose and that the holding
brackets have not shifted. Replace worn components immediately.
Make sure that the support brackets are located where they cannot move or
shift sideways.
They also must not touch the roof of the vehicle, the hinges and the
corresponding bolts or screws.
While assembling, pay attention not to close the rear door if screws and
brackets of the Carry-Bike are not tightened, the light sources could be
damaged.
Make sure that, during roar door opening, the Carry-Bike and/or the Bike-Block
do not touch the roof of the vehicle (raised roof) and/or its opening systems
(pop-up roofs).
During Carry-Bike installation, verify that there is enough distance between
handlebars and/or pedals and the vehicle’s rear windows in order to avoid any
damages of the window van; do not leave accessories attached (bay seats,
baskets, etc) because vibrations could disengage bikes.
In some cases, the rear windscreen wiper may not work due to the presence of
bicycles. Be aware of the brush radius before operating the windscreen wiper.
On this type of Carry-Bike, bike covers are not allowed (Bike Cover).
It is advisable to remove the batteries from bicycles, before loading them on
the Carry-Bike while traveling.
Depending on the type of bicycles transported, check the correct visibility of
the rear lights. If the visibility is missing, provide a light repeater bar.
You can open the tailgate with the Carry-Bike mounted without bikes.
It is recommended to rotate the handlebars of bicycles to avoid damage to the
vehicle wall, for which Fiamma declines all responsibility.
