Installing bikes on the rack
The bikes should be mounted from inside (1st bike) to
the outer most bike (3rd or 4th bike). See Fig. 6a.
The bikes should always be positioned so that the lowest point on the
bike frame’s top tube is close to the vertical post (Fig. 6b).
The bike handlebars should be staggered (first bike’s handlebars on
passenger side, second bike’s handlebars on driver side, etc.
1. Lower both vertical posts as described earlier.
2. To adjust the bike’s wheels trays, loosen the knobs and slide wheel
holders along the wheel support tube so that they are positioned directly
beneath each wheel.
Try to adjust the position of the wheel trays so that the hook will rest on the
bike’s lowest point of the top tube (Fig. 6b)
Tighten knobs securely. Rotate the bike’s pedals so that the vertical post
can be raised and secured. Slide the hook down onto the frame. Use the
Velcro strap on the wheel holder per Fig. 17d.
3. Adjust the wheel holders of the second bike and mount
to the rack in the same procedure as described above.
4. Raise and secure the outer vertical post for the 3rd or 4th bike.
5. Be sure that the hooks are well supported on the bike’s frame and the
knobs securely pushing down on the bike’s frame.
Tips for carrying woman’s bikes and bikes with slanted top tubes: Adjust the
wheel trays so that the hook will rest in the bike frame’s top tube and seat
tube.

Position the long frame hook on top of the round vertical post facing
the vehicle. Squeeze the lever and the tab together, so that the lever
is all the way up (engaged). Now wiggle the plastic housing down
onto the tube aligning the index guides with the index slots. You may
have to gently tap it with your other hand. Remember the lever
must be engaged to install it onto the tube. Repeat for the short
hook facing in the opposite direction.
Using the clamps:
After the clamp is installed, it can only be raised by engaging the
lever. The clamp can physically be pushed down without engaging
the lever but it is highly recommended that the lever also be
engaged when lowering the clamp.
