of the licence plate holder so that the retaining tabs point downwards,
Figure 3. Place the licence plate from below under the holding lugs in the
upper frame. Press the licence plate into the licence plate holder so that it is
completely within the frame. Turn the holding lugs upwards again, Figure 4.

5.3 MOUNTING THE BICYCLE RACK ON THE TRAILER HITCH

Before you put the bicycle rack on the trailer hitch, familiarise yourself with
the quick locking system, Figure 5.

Ensure that the trailer hitch is undamaged, clean and free of grease.
Remove any paint from the hitch.
The quick locking mechanism is a component with a lever. Activating the
lever opens or closes the quick locking mechanism. With the help of the
securing bolt and the padlock, the quick locking system may be locked and
secured.
The padlock is always required when using the bicycle
rack. The bicycle rack may only be used if the padlock
is employed correctly and locked. The lock is safety-
relevant.
Park your vehicle on a level surface.
Switch the motor off and pull on the brake.
Remove the securing bolt from the quick locking mechanism and rotate by
90° to prevent it from engaging again. Open the quick locking mechanism
by lifting the lever.
Place the bicycle rack, from above, horizontally onto the trailer hitch. Align
the bicycle rack horizontally and straight behind the vehicle. Push the
lever of the quick locking mechanism down (force required is approximately
35 - 40 kg) as far as it will go (the lever will remain in the horizontal
position).
Check whether the bike rack is securely and fi rmly positioned on the trailer
hitch and can no longer be rotated. If this is not the case, the quick locking
mechanism must be readjusted. Lift the lever and remove the rack from the
trailer hitch. Remove the protective cap of the adjusting screw. Undo the
lock nut of the adjusting screw and rotate the adjusting screw on the quick
locking mechanism tighter by a quarter turn. Then tighten the counter nut
again.
Replace the rack back on the trailer hitch and check whether the rack is
securely and fi rmly positioned on the tow bar. Repeat the adjustment
process until the rack is secure and fi rm.
Insert the protective cap back onto the adjustment screw.
