Keep bicycles away from hot exhaust.
Drive conservatively, especially over bumps.
Bicycles should never extend beyond sides of vehicle.
For best weight distribution, always load heaviest bicycles closest to vehicle hitch and lightest bicycles farther away.
Do not use Let’s Go Aero carriers and accessories for purposes other than which they were designed.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY LIMIT
The maximum load weight per bicycle is 40 lbs. Do not exceed this weight per bicycle. Failure to follow this guideline will
void the warranty.
The maximum overall weight limit is 40 lbs per bicycle plus the empty weight of the rack. This limit is always
subordinate to the maximum load recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle itself. It is always the lower
maximum recommended load that applies. Do not exceed the load weight limit of the rack or the manufacturer’s
vehicle receiver hitch tongue weight rating. Consult your vehicle manual for your receiver hitch tongue weight rating.
Failure to follow these guidelines or the product’s instructions will void the warranty.
WARNING:
Make sure the NoMotion hitch pin is properly secured by tightening rmly with a wrench. Always check that all bolts
and connections are tight and fully secure. Make sure the bicycles are securely attached to the bicycle rack using all
required straps provided. Make sure additional care is taken for securing bicycles to rack for RV and trailer use as
instructed. Failure to follow proper installation and equipment checks before transit may result in damage to carrier,
proper, bodily injury, or death.
