Instructions for use
Safety instructions
In case of problems please contact your local dealer indicating the data on
the nameplate. Consult our website for spare parts drawing.
Attention: keep the following labels and affi x them to the Carry-Bike rails.
Read the following instructions and warnings carefully; failure to observe
these installation and usage instructions as well as the Highway Code in the
relevant country may cause severe harm or damage for which the manufacturer
declines all responsibility. Before installation, ensure compatibility with
the vehicle on which the product must be installed.
In the event of an accident involving the vehicle and/or the product, ensure
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 things and people.
Checking that the wall/rear door is sufficiently 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 is modified. This variation must not
exceed the maximum permissible axle load.
Never exceed the maximum permitted length and the total weight of the full-
loaded vehicle.
Make sure that the weight is correctly distributed while loading; a uniform
distribution (the heaviest bike must be placed in the rail guide near the wall
of the vehicle) ensures better stability.
Always warn about the presence of the Carry-Bike on your vehicle, using a sign
for protruding loads and, in case of limited rear visibility, use the
additional rear-view mirrors.
Take into account the presence of the Carry-Bike, paying attention while
driving and especially during reversing manoeuvres, particularly if you have a
parking assist system.
Always comply with speed limits and the Highway Code. The speed should always
be suitable to traffic conditions and transported load. When using the bike
carrier with trailer make sure that the tow hook is always accessible and the
corner mobility of the trailer is guaranteed (volume measuring DIN 74058).
Check periodically the bicycle rack to make sure it is firmly attached,
especially during the first kilometres from the installation and always before
and after long trips, to avoid damage of the Carry-Bike/vehicle. Regularly
check rubber parts under the upper and/or lower brackets, as well as the
belts; if they are porous or worn, replace them 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.
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).
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.
