INSTALLATION FOLDING FEATURES
Step 2
Install the bikes on the rack and secure with the provided
rubber bike arm straps (#3). Be sure to secure the cross
post and seat post to the rack. Note: When towing more
than one bike, be sure to alternate the directions the bikes
are facing on the rack. First bike faces right, 2nd bike faces
left and so on. See the figure below.
Note: The towable shank (#2) allows the addition
of a trailer ball for convenient towing while using
the hitch-mounted bike rack.
Step 1
Insert the bike rack shank into the vehicle receiver tube.
Secure with anti-rattle bolt and clip (#5).
At the base, remove the clip from the upper bolt holding the
bike rack in the vertical position. Remove the bolt and tilt the
rack away from the vehicle. The rear cargo area is now accessible.
At the top, pull the lynch pin that secures the arms in the
outward position. Fold the bike rack arms down to the
transport position, and replace the lynch pin.
