• Check for tightness of the straps at regular intervals, as the straps may loosen
and the bicycle may shift during travel. Inspect more frequently when travelling
on bumpy roads.
• Remove the bike carrier from the vehicle when not in use to avoid
additional wear on both the vehicle and the carrier.
