Product Usage Instructions

1. Read the instructions carefully prior to installation and ensure the bike rack is installed in the correct locations as per your fitting instruction.
2. Check the contents of the kit before commencing fitment and report any discrepancies.
3. Decide where you would like the gas bottle to be located on the alloy tray.
4. Stick the Bumpon strips parallel with the tray, making sure not to cover the channel. The bumpon strips will protect the tray from wear and will reduce movement of the gas bottle.

8. Transport the gas cylinder in an upright position and do not transport with regulators attached. Do not use the holder for lifting purposes.
9. Always inspect the holder prior to use and protect it from friction and abrasion. Do not tie knots in webbing and do not use the strap if it is damaged.
