Eufab 11510 JAKE Bedienungsanleitung Seite 13

The rear carrier is of steel and powder coated, the cavities are also coated, which prevents oxidation of the metal. In
case of any damage of the coatings (scratches, dents) make sure that the protection is repaired.
All screw threads should be treated with oil or grease to ensure a permanent smooth running
The bicycle rack can be mounted easily and is then ready for use.
Screw the U-bracket in the provided sockets of the supporting frame using the M8 x 60 carriage bolts, washers and
the M8 knurled nuts. Insert the carriage bolts from outside to inside. See picture 1.
The vehicle should be level, the engine off and the handbrake applied when mounting the rack. The trailer hitch must
be undamaged, clean and free of grease.
The JAKE rack is put in position from above onto the trailer hitch and at the same time aligned by eye. Push down
the quick lock lever (approx. 40 kg) as far as it will go (the lever will remain in horizontal position). Push the plastic
locking mechanism to the left until the green marking on the handle is fully visible. Check again whether the rack is
secure and tight on the trailer hitch (and can no longer be turned out of position). Adjust the quick-release lock if this
is not the case by pushing the plastic locking mechanism to the right as far as possible so that you can pull the lever
upward and remove the rack from the trailer hitch. Now turn the adjusting screw on the quick-release lock inward a
little (first slacken the lock nut) and then retighten the lock nut.
Put the rack onto the trailer hitch again checking whether the rack is secure and tight on the trailer hitch. If neces-
sary, repeat this work step until the rack is secure and tight. Caution: Always make sure that the locking nut on
the adjusting screw has been correctly tightened! Lock the quick-release lock now and remove the key from the
lock. The bicycle rack is now also secure against theft. Always take care that the quick-release lock has been cor-
rectly locked! The green marking on the handle should be completely visible and the red dot on the lock should be
level with the lock and the lock symbol.
The keys for the locks should be kept safe.
Caution: The lock is an important safety feature and also acts as protection against theft.
The rack may not be used without this safety feature.
The first bicycle is to be placed centrally in the bicycle rail (nearest to the vehicle) and fixed to the
U-bolt with the short frame holder. Fix the running wheels with the plastic strap provided. See fig-
ure 2. Start by screwing the frame holders onto the U-bolt. To do this, first unscrew the lockable finger
from the frame holders and remove the fixing clip with the spring. The spacer tube must also be removed. Take the
U–bolt clip from the threaded rod and place it around the U-bolt. Finally, refit the frame holder in reverse order.
Please note that the round side of the spacer disc must face toward the fixing clip.
The second bicycle is normally to be placed in the second rail in the opposite direction and fixed to the U-bolt with
the long frame holder. To fix the label, first press out the fixing wedge. See figure 1.
Fix the running wheels as described for the first wheel. It may be necessary to place the bicycles individually on the
rear rack, rather than as described, so the frame holders can be fixed correctly. Now secure the bicycles using the
long safety belt. For additional safety, run the safety belt through the bicycle frame and around the U-bolt and tighten
firmly.
Attention: Never use the rack without the safety belt when loaded!
Loosen the security device from the tilt lever. Hold the U-bolt with one hand so that the rack cannot tilt abruptly and
use the lever of tilt mechanism. Now lower the rack carefully. The supporting frame snaps back into operating posi-
tion when lifted. Afterwards secure the lever with this additional protection.
