Personal and Work Area Safety (continued)
F. While assembling and using the Bike
Rack keep work area clean and well light-
ed. Keep spectators and children out of
the work area.
3. Use of the Bike Rack
A. Model 70210 Bike Rack must be at-
tached to a 2” x 2” Class III or Class IV
hitch receiver.
The vehicle’s hitch receiver must be properly
installed by a qualied service technician
and be certied to support the weight of this
Bike Rack and its contents (Model 70210
maximum weight capacity of four bikes =
150 Lbs.).
B. Do not modify the Bike Rack and do
not use this product for purposes that it
was not designed for.
C. Never exceed the maximum weight
capacity shown in paragraph A above.
D. Be aware of the danger of “dynamic
loading”. This situation arises when a load
is dropped onto the Bike Rack, resulting in a
short term excessive load. Dynamic loading
can result in damage and failure of the Bike
Rack and/or hitch receiver, and personal
injury to the person loading the Bike Rack.
E. Never load people or animals onto the
Bike Rack. Keep children and spectators
well clear when loading, unloading and using
this product.
F. Adhere to all Department of Transpor-
tation (D.O.T.) requirements when using
this product. Always use the Bike Straps to
securely hold the bicycles in place.
G. For the vehicle that will support the Bike
Rack, read all pertinent vehicle instructions
and warnings provided in the owner’s
manual. Make sure the vehicle’s engine is
OFF, with parking brake set, before load-
ing or unloading the Bike Rack.
H. Note the position of the vehicle’s
exhaust pipes before setting up the Bike
Rack. Make sure exhaust pipes are not in
close proximity to the loaded bicycles. Flam-
mable goods loaded on the Bike Rack could
catch on re due to heat from exhaust. If
this risk exists on your vehicle, do not use
the Bike Rack.
I. Do not use this Bike Rack on a trailer or
5th wheel R.V. Do not use with bicycles t-
ted with large accessories (such as a child
carrying seat). Do not exceed 55 MPH ve-
hicle speed when Bike Rack is attached.
J. Always check slide pins, cotter pins and
Lock Pin for tightness prior to each trip. Re-
place Bike Straps annually, or at rst signs of
wear.
K. Do not operate vehicle unless Bike
Rack is in the upright position. When not
in use, remove Bike Rack from the vehicle
and store indoors.
Keep in mind that the warnings previ-
ously discussed cannot cover all pos-
sible conditions or situations that could
occur. It is important that the person
loading/unloading and using this product
understand that common sense and cau-
tion are factors which cannot be built into
this product, and must be supplied by the
operator.
