LONG FOR THE RIDE
Just as no garage is complete without a bicycle, at Saris, we
believe no car is complete without a bike rack.
Since setting off on this journey nearly 30 years ago, Saris
racks have freed millions of bike-lovers to explore new territory
and terrain, take part in group rides, bike pool to races, and
commute to and from work.
And we continue to do so in style.
As the all-time #1 best-selling bike rack, Saris Bones®
continues to set the standard for excellence in design. Today
all Saris bicycle racks are intuitive to load and secure, and
guaranteed for life.
Built by cyclists for cyclists in Madison, Wisconsin,
we strive to create the world’s best bike racks.
Because cycling is what we live for.

CAUTIONS:
• All requirements for compatability/fit as stated in the current Saris vehicle/carrier compatability guide must be followed.
• Read and follow instructions carefully. Save owner’s manual for future reference or parts information. Ensure that any other users of the bicycle carrier are familiar with
their content.
• Drive slowly over speed bumps, 5 to 10 mph max speed.
• It’s the end users responsibility to ensure that use of this product meets all local and state laws.
• When cleaning vehicle and rack, use only water soluble cleaners. Do not take rack through car wash.
• Make sure bike tires are not directly behind exhaust pipe.
• Rack must be installed directly into vehicle hitch receiver. Do not modify the hitch receiver or use hitch extenders.
• Do not mount to any type of trailer or RV including Class B vehicles.
• Prior to usage on the road, remove all loose parts from bicycle, including (but not limited to) child seat, basket, lock, light, pump, etc.
• This carrier is not recommended for off-road use or for use at speed exceeding 70 mph (113 km/h).
• The handling characteristics of a vehicle will change when a rear bicycle carrier is fitted and especially when it is loaded (in particular crosswind sensitivity, handling on
bends and braking). Driving techniques should be altered to allow for these changes, reduce speed, especially on bends and allow for longer braking distances.
• The vehicle’s total length increases when the bike carrier is attached. The bikes themselves may increase the vehicle’s total width and height. Take care when reversing
and/or entering garages or ferries, etc.
• Remove carrier from vehicle when not in use.
• This carrier is constructed to carry standard-bike-frames. It is not intended for use with tandem or recumbent bicycles.

• Tighten straps regularly during the journey.
• Vehicle should be in good condition in the area at which the hitch is located.
• Do not exceed maximum load capacity of carrier (120 lbs for tray or 35 lbs max per bike) Secure properly and adjust for even load distribution, loading the heaviest/biggest
bike first and closest to the vehicle.
• Saris absolves itself of responsibility for any personal injuries or consequential damage to property or wealth caused by incorrect fitting or use.
• Be sure cargo weight is centered on the platform.
• Cargo straps not included.
• User is responsible for properly securing cargo to platform.
