LONG FOR THE RIDE
3
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, the Saris Bones® continues to set
the standard for excellence in design. Today all Saris bicycle racks are intui-
tive to load and are 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.

Copy here...Use hex key located at the backside of the center beam to
adjust wheel block position. The four holes have been optimized for
fitting the front wheel. The chart reflects position of upper wheel holder
on front wheel. The rear wheel holder should be placed in the highest
location possible without going over center on the rear wheel. Due to
various bike sizes, this may not always correspond to the front wheel
holder position.
Forbikes with rear rack or fender, position 3 or 4 should be used to
secure rear wheel. Note: Wheel block should not touch fenders.

À l’aide de la clé hexagonale située à l’arrière de la barre centrale, réglez
la position du bloc de roue. Les quatre orifices ont été optimisés pour
l’installation de la roue avant. Le schéma indique la position du support
de roue supérieur sur la roue avant. Le support de roue arrière doit être
placé le plus haut possible, sans dépasser lecentre de la roue arrière.
En raison des différentes tailles de vélo, la position peut ne pas toujours
correspondre à celle du support de la roue avant. Pour les vélos avec
porte-bagages ou garde-boue arrière, utilisez les positions 3 ou 4 pour
fixer la roue arrière. Remarque: Lebloc de roue ne doit pas toucher le
garde-boue.

CAUTIONS:
• All requirements for compatability/fit as stated in the current Saris vehicle/carrier compatability guide must be followed (available at any Saris dealer). If your vehicle is
not listed or you have any questions, please call our customer service.
• 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
its content.
• Before transport be sure your bicycle tires are properly inflated.
• Allow a minimum distance of 12” between the ground and the bottom of lowest wheel tray.
• Drive slowly over speed bumps, 5 to 10 mph max speed.
• It’s the end user’s 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.
• Vehicle should be in good condition in the area at which the hitch is located.
• Do not exceed maximum load capacity of carrier! 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.
Warning and Disclaimer:
This carrier has been designed to carry bicycles on specific vehicles. Before installation, user must read and follow current Saris Fit Guide (available through Saris dealer) recommen-
dations and enclosed instructions. Fit recommendations are based on vehicle’s standard features; optional features may affect the fit recommendations. User must attach carrier
correctly to the vehicle, check its attachment before each use, and inspect carrier parts for wear. Carrier’s attachment to the vehicle is critical and beyond the control of the manufac-
turer. Manufacturer and seller expressly disclaim any and all liability for personal injury, property damage or loss, whether direct, indirect, or incidental, resulting from the incorrect
attachment, improper use, inadequate maintenance, or neglect of this carrier.
