Attach the Thule UpRide to the roof rack of your vehicle using the included T-screw and the appropriate adapter for your roof rack system.
Place your bike on the carrier with the wheels in the designated wheel holders. The carrier is designed to hold the bike in an upright position without contacting the frame, protecting your bike from scratches or damage.
Adjust the wheel holders to fit your bike’s wheels and secure them in place using the provided straps. The straps should be tightened enough to hold the bike securely but not so tight that they damage the wheels.
Adjust the frame holder to fit your bike’s frame and secure it in place using the provided straps. The straps should be tightened enough to hold the bike securely but not so tight that they damage the frame.
Double-check that all straps are properly secured before driving.
When you arrive at your destination, carefully remove your bike from the carrier and store the carrier in a safe place until your next use.

THULE RACK GUIDELINES

When using Thule Load carriers and accessories, the user must understand the precautions. The points listed below will assist you in using the rack system and will encourage safety.

For quality fits and safety, use only the recommended rack or accessory as stated in Thule’s current Fit Guide. Do not assume a rack will fit, always check the current Fit Guide when obtaining a new vehicle.
The maximum load specified in the assembly instructions is not to be exceeded. However, this limit is always subordinate to the maximum load recommended by the manufacturer of the car itself. It is always the lower maximum recommended load that applies. Max roof load = load carrier weight + any fitted carrier accessories + the weight of the load itself.
Always make sure all doors are open when mounting a roof rack system. Make sure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps, and locks are firmly attached, tightened and locked before every trip. Knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks must be periodically inspected for signs of wear, corrosion, and fatigue. Check your load at stops during the trip to ensure continued fastening security.
Check local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the perimeter of a vehicle. Be aware of the width and height of your cargo since low clearance branches, bridges, and parking garages can affect the load. All cargo will affect the vehicle’s driving behavior. Never drive with any lock, knob or rack in an open or unlocked position. All long loads such as, but not limited
to, sailboards, surfboards, kayaks, canoes, and lumber must be tied down front and rear to the bumpers or tow hooks of the vehicle.
Remove your Thule rack and accessories when they are not in use and before entering automatic car washes.
All locks must be turned and moved periodically to ensure smooth operation. Use graphite or dry lubricant to help this. Thule locks are designed to deter vandalism and theft but should not be considered theft proof. Remove valuable gear if your vehicle is unattended for an extended period. Place at least one key in the glove compartment.
For safety to your vehicle and rack system, obey all posted speed limits and traffic cautions. Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and the load being carried.
Do not use Thule load carriers and accessories for purposes other than those for which they were designed. Do not exceed their carrying capacity. Failure to follow these guidelines or the product’s instructions will void the warranty.
All loads must be secured using the provided straps.
Consult with your Thule dealer if you have any questions regarding the operations and limits of Thule products. Review all instructions and warranty information carefully.
Not for use on trailers or towed vehicles.
Not for offroad use.
Keep bicycle tires away from hot exhaust.
