− Tighten the straps evenly to obtain perfect positioning on the car.
− Check that everything is properly tightened by pushing the cycle carrier hard in all directions; it should
not move on the vehicle. If there is movement, tighten all the straps again.

the loops of the straps (see diagram).
page 7
− Position the first bicycle with the chain facing towards the vehicle.
− Unhook the rubber straps (H) so that the bike can be positioned on the carrier.
− Fit the bicycles alternately facing in the opposite direction, so that the handlebars do not damage each
other.
− The bicycles must be distributed correctly on the cycle carrier, and as close to the vehicle as possible.
The centre of gravity of the assembly must be as low as possible, without the bicycles being able to touch
the ground when passing over an obstacle (speed bump, etc.).
− Loads sticking out beyond the cycle carrier must comply with current regulations and must be
appropriately fixed. It is the user´s responsibility to comply with the standards applying in each country
where the carrier is used.
− Ensure that cycle tyres are not too close to the vehicle exhaust: hot gases could damage them.
"Step through" and "suspension" frames
Some bike frames may not fit horizontally on the carrier but this in no way affects the effectiveness of the
fixing. False crossbars are available to help position the bike on the rack.
− It is essential to fix the bicycle frames using straps (H), securing them firmly to the cycle carrier´s frame.

ATTENTION:
THESE STRAPS MUST BE USED.
− The lower cycle carrier straps must be re−tightened.
− Check the other straps to ensure that there is no movement.
− Check that everything is firmly secured by attempting to move the bicycles; they must not move on the
cycle carrier. If this is not the case, tighten all the straps again.
− Do not allow the straps to flap in the wind
page 9
− Comply with current regulations and the Highway Code.
− Incorrect installation or use can result in danger for you and others, for which you may be held liable.
ADAPT YOUR DRIVING
− Every time the cycle carrier is used, check before departure and regularly during the journey that everything
is firmly secured (screws, knobs, straps, etc.).
The fixings for the bicycles and the cycle carrier must be checked after fitting and regularly during the
journey. Re−tighten if necessary.
Not suitable for vehicles with modifications E.g. Rear spoilers
Not suitable for sports cars due to lightweight or composite body panels
Not suitable for cabriolet vehicles due to complex hood folding mechanisms
Not suitable for vehicles with side opening or split tailgates
Please note − for saloon vehicles, the weight limit should not exceed 30kg or 2 bikes.
IMPORTANT:
Your vehicle is now longer and wider. Take this into account when manoeuvring.
− Drive with care: any load carried behind a vehicle affects its behaviour (turning, crosswinds,
road surface, reversing, tight turns, etc.).
− Reduce your speed, especially when turning or passing obstacles and be aware of
increased braking distances.
− Do not use the cycle carrier on bumpy terrain: excessive shaking could damage your cycle
carrier and your vehicle.
YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCORRECT USE OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW
INSTRUCTIONS.
− Do not raise the vehicle´s tailgate when the cycle carrier is fitted.
− It is recommended that you remove the cycle carrier after use, in order not to
inconvenience pedestrians or other motorists.
− Never leave the cycle carrier attached to the vehicle in automated car washes, especially
roller washes.
− Keep and maintain the cycle carrier in good condition, store it suitably, rolling up the straps.
− The number plate and lights must remain visible. If they are partially obscured, a lighting board must be
fitted.
− Your number plate must comply with the Highway Code.
