Loading One Bike on the

For one bike, only use the inward Wheel
Cradles (closest to the vehicle).
Remove outer Wheel Cradles or slide them
inward towards the Upright (and out of the
way).
Bike’s sprocket must face outward with respect to
Bike Rack (sprocket should face rear of vehicle) with
bike’s crank and pedal clear of Upright adjustment area.
With bike resting in Wheel Cradles, slide Long Hook
down the Upright to engage with bike frame.
Thread Knob all the way down to end of Long Hook shaft.
See photo at right.
Position Hook Bracket on Upright so mounting holes
line up. Slide in small Latch Pin. Engage Latch Pin
safety wire. See photo at right.
Now thread the Knob up the shaft until it securely
tightens the Long Hook to the bike frame.

Use a ratcheting tie-down or strap
(both not included) to completely wrap
around the bike frame, Horizontal Tube and Upright.

Add extra padding (not included) to all bike frame
components that come in contact with the Bike Rack
to reduce the risk of scratching bike frame.
Before starting the trip make nal inspection; make sure that Knobs are tightened down, Latch
Pins and Split Pins are in place, and tie downs/straps and padding securely hold and protect
the bike.
Once on the road, periodically stop and check the overall condition of the bike and Bike Rack.
Adding a second bike to the Bike Rack
Place second bike on the outside Wheel Cradles with the bike facing in the opposite direction of
the rst bike. Again, bike sprocket should face outward with respect to the Bike Rack. Use Short
Hook to secure bike frame. Follow the steps mentioned previously to safely load and transport the
second bike. Use tie-downs or straps to completely wrap around both bike frames, Horizontal
Tubes and Upright.
Do not overload the Bike Rack;
maximum 2 bikes with maximum weight capacity of 75 Lbs. total. Do not set
up the Bike Rack on a trailer, camper, RV or 5th Wheeler.
