Mft recommends that you only use parts and accessory products that have been tested and approved.

In export countries, the relevant approval conditions and legal requirements must be observed.

Mounting

If you have any questions when assembling or handling this product, please contact our customer service. Technical details are subject to change and may differ from figures in the instructions for assembling.

Each individual step of these instructions should be followed exactly. If the bike carrier is installed and handled properly it will not damage the vehicle and its trailer hitch. mft transport systems GmbH is not liable for damages caused by disregard of the assembly sequence and safety instructions.

Before travelling

Before travelling check the lights if they are fully functioning and if the bike carrier and its cargo are securely fixed. According to the road traffic regulations, only the vehicle owner or the driver is responsible for the condition and the secure fixing of the bicycle carrier!

After the first installation, all fastening elements of the bike carrier must be checked after a test drive of approx. 15 km and be tightened if necessary. All mobile parts such as frame holders and hand wheels etc., must also be included into this inspection. Repeat this test regularly, especially if the road conditions are bad.

Transport of bicycles

Never cover the load with a foil or other materials, as it can affect the handling of your vehicle.

Ensure that all locks on the bicycle carrier and the frame holders are always locked.

All loose parts (air pumps, water bottles, baskets, child seats etc.) must be removed when transporting the bicycles. They can detach and put you or other road users in danger.

Attention!
Do never exceed the maximum load of 60 kg.
