Important: Please read these instructions carefully prior to installation.
Please refer to your fitting instruction to ensure that the bike rack is installed in the correct locations.
Check the contents of kit before commencing fitment and report any discrepancies.
Place these instructions in the vehicle’s glove box after installation is complete.
Maximum carrying capacity: 15kg (33lbs) per bike. Max 4 Bikes. Totalling 60kg/ 130lbs.
Warning: Do not attempt to fit the bike carrier to your vehicle unless you fully understand this fitting instructions. Please direct
any questions regarding fitting to the dealer from where the bike carrier was purchased. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes
or straps.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you first install your bike carrier. Bolt
connections should be checked again at regular intervals (once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads
and distances travelled). You should also check the bike carrier each time it is re-fitted. Always make sure to fasten your load
securely. Please also ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible.
Bike carrier must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
In some states it may be against the law to obstruct clear view of lamps and registration plates. It is suggested that the Rhino-
Rack Number Plate Holder (RBCA011) be purchased.
Caution: The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof or at the rear. For safety
reasons we recommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must be
taken into account when cornering and braking.
