2-BIKE CONVERSION
Remove the Wing Set located furthest from the vehicle. Locate the Pin that connects the 2 sections of the Mast together.
Remove Pin, and slide out the Forward Mast [C2] section of Mast located furthest away from the vehicle. [DETAIL 20]
NOTE: Removed Pin and Mast section can be slide into another vehicle hitch and used as a second 2-Bike Carrier.
[DETAIL 21]
NOTE: Once secondary section is removed, the main section of Mast
can still be tilted down to either ~45 or ~180 degree angle for rear hatch
clearance depending on pin placement. These angles are not usable for
transport. Be sure to tilt your BikeWing back to the upright position before
transit. [DETAIL 22]
NOTE: The main section of Mast can also be tilted up, closer to the
vehicle for more parking or garage clearance. When Mast and Wing are
tilted up, the Wing remains functional as a one bike carrier.
