- Always make sure that the bike rack is securely attached to the vehicle and that the bicycles are securely attached to the rack.
- Before using the Top Tube Adapter check to make sure the handlebar stem and seat post are tightly attached to the bicycle, and the seat securely attached to the seat post.
- Check that the large U-shaped yoke on the adapter is correctly attached to the handlebar stem with the clevis pin completely through the two holes in the yoke and properly closed. Check the small “U” -hook on the opposite end of the adapter is securely positioned around the seat post.
- Always inspect Top Tube Adapter is working properly, particularly spring tension and yoke clevis pin – do not use if any part is missing or damaged.
