Fitting the Hollywood Sport Rider to your vehicle:
7. Now that the basic rack is assembled, it’s time to fit the rack to your vehicle.
If your vehicle has a 2” receiver, simply insert the insert tube (2.) of the rack into
the receiver of your vehicle. If your vehicle has a 1-1/4 receiver, proceed directly
to instructions 9. / 10. Line up the large hole at the end of the insert tube with the
hitch bolt hole in your receiver.
8. Take the large bolt (b.) with ¾” head (threaded hitch bolt), and slide on first the
lock washer (d.), and then the large
flat washer (c.) See Fig. 5. When the
washers are installed, install the
threaded hitch bolt through the hitch
bolt hole in your receiver, then thread
it into the insert tube of the rack.
Tighten securely.
Instructions for vehicles with
1-1/4” receiver:
9. If your vehicle has a 1-1/4”
receiver, you will need a Phillips
head screwdriver to remove the 2”
spacer first. The spacer is the black
U-Shaped plastic piece attached to
the end of the insert tube (2.). Simply
unscrew the Phillips head screw that
is holding the spacer to the end of the
insert tube.

10. Take the shorter (a.) of the two threaded hitch bolts (1-1/2” long) and slide on
first the lock washer (d.), and then the large flat washer (c). When the washers are
installed, install the threaded hitch bolt through the hitch bolt hole in your
receiver, then thread it into the insert tube of your rack. Tighten securely.
Fitting bikes to the Hollywood Sport Rider:
11. To fit the first bike (closest to the vehicle) more easily, the vertical tube of the
main rack may be tilted down (away from vehicle). To do this, simply loosen the
black knob at the bottom of the main rack (see Fig. 4), then depress the release
lever and fold the vertical tube to a horizontal position. Note: Never fold down
main tube with bike(s) mounted.
Place the first bike in the wheel holders, then rotate the vertical tube up. When
it reaches the top, it will “snap” into place. At this point, it is important to
re-tighten the black knob securely.
See Fig. 4.
12. Always position the smaller bike
between the bicycle support (vertical
tube of main rack, 1.) and the car
bumper, using the larger hook. For
bicycles with a slanted top tube (i.e.
ladies bikes and some mountain
bikes), position hook at the lowest
point of the top tube, as far down a
possible.
13. When you have found the correct
position for the bicycle frame, adjust
the wheel holders such that they are
directly beneath each wheel. To
adjust the wheel holders, loosen the
knobs and slide along the wheel
holder support tube. Tighten knobs
securely. For more permanent wheel
holder position, remove knobs and
install (j) nuts and nut covers. An
adjustable wrench, ½” or 13 mm
wrench or socket required. Be sure
to tighten nuts securely.

14. With the bicycle sitting in the wheel holders, and the large hook in the lowest
possible position on the bike frame, tighten the quick release lever at the base of
the hook, turning the knob until it is snug, then clamping (closing) the quick
release lever to make it absolutely tight. See Fig. 6showing bikes mounted on the
Sport Rider rack.
15. Use the Velcrowheel straps that are attached to the wheel holders to wrap
around each bike’s wheel/tire and strap them down securely as follows:
a. Wrap strap through spokes and around wheel holder.
b. Bring strap up around tire, and through plastic loop.
c. Bring strap down after passing through loop.
d. Attach Velcrofirmly. See Fig. 7.
16. Use the security strap as the final component
to secure the bikes to the rack. Thread it through all
the bicycle wheels and frame(s), plug the male part into
the female part, then pull strap end to tighten until snug.
17. Double check before driving off:
A) Hook quick release levers are tight for both bikes.
B) All wheel straps are fastened through wheels and
tires on wheel holders.
C) Security strap is attached, strapping both bikes
securely to the rack.
18. Use the security strap to keep the wheel support tubes together in vertical
position when rack is not is use.
