SHINGLEBACK SWING ARM INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION & USAGE NOTES
It is recommended to have a tow ball download rating of
at least
150kg
for a 5 bike rack,
200kg
for a 6 bike rack.
The tow bar plates can also be mounted back-to-front to get the bike rack
closer to your car.
Do not
use the quick release pin. You must use the supplied bolt.
Don’t sit on, stand, or bounce the rack
when swung open as damage to your car’s tow
bar could result.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack your swing arm
components and lay them out.
The swing arm comes with a
long tow bar tube section to fit
a wide variety of cars – in
some instances, depending on
your car, you
may
be required
to trim a bit off the tube
section to achieve the best fit
for your car.
Aim to have the swing arm as
close as possible to your car.
Attach the bike rack’s tow bar
plates to the swing arm using
the holes to keep the bike rack
as close to your car as
possible, while still allowing
your rear door to open when
the swing arm is opened.
The tow bar mount plates can
even be flipped 180º (pictured
above right) if needed!
Fit the swing arm to your car
using the anti-rattle clamp
supplied with your rack.
The anti-rattle clamp
sometimes needs to be turned
around to fit some cars.
Fit the heavy duty clamp
handle as shown making sure
the circlip is seated in its
groove.
Make sure the spring bolt is
fully home when closed, then
clamp tight with the heavy-
duty clamp. The clamp should
be firm to clamp shut. If it
becomes loose it can be
tightened with the U bolt nuts.
