subheadings therein before set up or use of

Operation
Note: This rack is designed to hold up to two bikes.
1.	

Make sure that the holders are facing upwards.
Open the straps and place the bicycle’s cross-bar
onto the holders. Close the straps over the bike,
pressing the straps together for a secure hold.
Place the second bike facing in the opposite direc‑
tion and secure it with the hook & loop straps as
well.

2.	

The Thermoplastic Holders keep the bike(s) in posi‑
tion, preventing them from sliding back and forth,
causing damage. The straps keep the bikes from
bumping out of the holders.

Assembly
1.	

Slide the Hitch End of the Linker (1) into the ve‑
hicle’s trailer hitch and lock with a steel pin. See
Figure 1.

2.	

Install the Support Column (2) to the upright part
of the Linker (1) and secure with a Bolt (5), Nut (7)
and two Washers (6), through the bottom hole and
the Hitch Pin (4) through the upper hole. When the
back hatch or tailgate has to be accessed, pull the
Hitch Pin (4) out and swing the rack downward,
pivoting at the bolt directly below the Hitch Pin (4).

3.	

4.	

Hold the two Bike Rack (3) sections over the upper
end of the Support Column (2) aligning the bolt
holes. Secure this with two Bolts (5), four Washers
(6) and two Nuts (7).
Double check all nuts and bolts, making sure they
are all tight.

Note: It is recommended that if you plan to carry only one
bike, you can place it in the position closest to the
vehicle.
