2. Remove R-Pin (13) from Hitch Bracket.
3. Insert Support Column (2) into Hitch Bracket. Make sure that the Column’s cut end faces the vehicle.

6. Place both Arms (3,4) against Support Column and align all bolt holes.
7. Secure Arms to Column with Bolts (10), Lock Nuts (12), and Flat Washers (11).
8. Double check all nuts and bolts, making sure they are tight.

Note: Knob Screw (15) can be used to adjustthe tightness of the bikes to the rack. Be sure to tighten the lock nut on the Knob after adjusting

Operation

Note: This rack is designed to hold up to two non-motorized bikes only. Do not carry flammable material on the bike rack.

1. Make sure that the Clamps are facing upwards. Open the straps and place the bicycle’s top tube onto the Clamps. Close the straps over the bike, pressing the straps together for a secure hold.

2. Place the second bike facing in the opposite direction and secure it as done in Step 1.
   IMPORTANT: Make sure the front of bike(s), when mounted, are at or above the bottom of the bumper to avoid damage to bike(s).

3. The Clamps keep the bike(s) in position, preventing them from sliding back and forth, causing damage. The straps keep the bikes from bumping out of the Clamps. For added security, use a locking chain.

4. Make sure bicycles are securely strapped down before operating the vehicle. During long trips, check straps and bike positioning, especially if traveling on rough terrain. Approved strap tiedowns are also recommended to support the bikes for greater stability during transport.

Note: If you plan to carry only one bike, placeit in the position closest to the vehicle.

Note: When the back hatch or tailgate has to be accessed, pull the Hitch Pin (13) out and swing the rack downward, pivoting at the Bolt (10) directly below the Hitch Pin (13).
