5.4 MOUNTING THE SHORT TENSIONING STRAPS

Figure 12: 6 x Short tensioning strap
Insert the short tensioning strap from the inside to the outside below the
bike holder and then from the outside to the inside through the slots of the
bike holder (Figure 13). For the rear wheel of the bicycle, use the centre
slot of the wheel holder, for the front wheel, use the two outer slots (two
tensioning straps to prevent the front wheel from turning).

5.5 MOUNTING THE BICYCLES TO THE REAR RACK

The fi rst bicycle is placed in the fi rst bicycle rail (closest to the vehicle) and
secured to the U-shaped bracket with the short frame holder. To do this, use
the side of the frame holder with the tensioning strap to secure to the bicy-
cle frame. The wheels are secured by placing the tensioning straps around
the wheel rim of your bicycle and tightening the straps. Caution: The front
wheel must be secured with two small tensioning straps to prevent it from
turning (Figure 14). The second bicycle is usually placed in the second rail,
facing the opposite direction and secured to the U-shaped bracket with the
long frame holder. The wheels are secured in the same way as for the fi rst
bicycle. It may be necessary to off set the individual bicycles diff erently on
the rack to ensure that the frame holders may be correctly secured. Now
secure the bicycles with the long safety strap. Wrap the safety strap through
the bicycle frames and the U-shaped bar and tighten. (See Figure 15)
Without this safety strap, the bicycle rack may not be
used.
