Assembly Instructions:
Tools Required: Two 8” adjustable
wrenches or equivalent, Phillips
screwdriver.
For ease of assembly, we suggest that
you insert your receiver tube (H) into
your vehicle’s hitch.
Step 1: Assemble Receiver Tube
to Base Assembly
a. Install your receiver tube (H)
into the hitch. Unlock hitch pin
(K) and insert it through hole in
the hitch and the rack. Be sure
that the pin passes through the
welded loop on the end the bolt
attached to the lever (H7). Tighten
the lever (H7) on the front of the
insert tube until its snug and secure.
Use this same procedure when
using the rack.
For 1 ¼” hitch version (HR1460E),
See fig. 1e & please refer to page 6)
b. Gently insert main beam (B) into the
bracket of Receiver tube (H),
aligning holes (H3 with B2). The
main beam can rest on pin H5.
There are two plastic washers (B3)
attached to main beam (B), please
take care to avoid knocking them
off during assembly. Insert pivot bolt
(G) with washer (J) through holes (H3
and B2), then place the other washer
(J) on end of the bolt and hand tighten
Nut (I).
c. Insert snapper pin (H6) through holes
(H4 and B4), securing with the clip.
. The main beam will now be in a fixed
horizontal position. Tighten bolt (G)
and nut (I) securely with wrenches.
d. After tightening, remove snapper
pin (H6) and rotate Main Beam (B)
into a folded (vertical) position.
Insert pin (H6) through holes (H2) to
check alignment. Main beam
should be able to rotate easily, but
not be too loose.
e. Remove snapper pin (H6) and rotate
main beam back to its horizontal
position to continue assembly.

Step 3: Install Wheel Holders
Rotate and remove L pins from holes (A).
Rotate wheel tubes to a horizontal
position, then replace L pins into holes
(B) as indicated.
Slide wheel Holders (E and F) onto
wheel tubes as indicated. (Fig. 3b)
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 (Fig. 4c). Now wiggle the plastic housing down onto
the tube aligning the index guides with the index slots (Fig 4d). 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.

Step 6: Installing bikes on the rack
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 (i.e. first
bike’s handlebars on driver side, second bike’s handlebars on
passenger side) Remove battery if possible.
a. Lower vertical post as described earlier.
b. 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.
c. Rotate the bike’s pedals so that the vertical post can be
raised and secured. Slide the hook down onto the frame.
Secure the Velcro strap on the wheel holders (Fig. 6c).
d. Adjust the wheel holders of the second
bike and mount to the rack in the same
procedure as described above.
e. Ensure that the hooks are firmly
pressing down the bike’s frame and
all knobs and straps are securely
fastened.
Step 5: Fold Up and Tilt Down features
Folding up (Fig. 5a):
To fold up the main beam, you must first fold down the vertical
post (B). Refer to (Fig. 3a): Rotate and remove pin (A), then
rotate the post (B) and replace the pin in either holes (C).
Remove snapper pin (H6) from hole (H4) (Fig. 1a).
Finally, rotate main beam upward and re-install snapper pin H6
into hole (H2).
Tilting down (Fig. 5b):
For easy access to the rear cargo door of your vehicle, the Sport
Rider can be tilted down. Remove pin (H5) then (H6) from
receiver tube bracket and gently lower the main beam down so it
is resting on the welded stop.
