horizontal position).
Check whether the bike rack is securely and fi rmly positioned on the
trailer tow bar 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 tow bar. 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 lock nut again.
Replace the rack back on the trailer tow bar 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. Push the protective cap back onto
the adjustment screw.
CAUTION
Always make sure that the lock nut on the adjusting
screw is correctly tightened!
Slight signs of pressure on the two bar ball are normal
and do not in uence the functionality.
When the rack can no longer be rotated on the trailer tow bar, rotate the
securing bolt of the quick locking mechanism until it engages. Now close
the quick locking mechanism with the supplied padlock and remove the key
from the lock. Store the key carefully and in a safe place. The bicycle rack is
now secured to prevent theft.
Regularly check the fi rm seating of the rack on the trailer tow bar as well
as the attachment of the bicycles to the rack. Also regularly check the
functions of the lighting system of your bicycle rack.

5.3 MOUNTING THE BICYCLES TO THE RACK

2 x Tensioning strap, small
1 x Safety strap
The fi rst bicycle is placed in the fi rst wheel rail (closest to the vehicle) and
secured to the U-tube with the short frame holder. To do this, turn the knob
nut anti-clockwise until the frame clips are suffi ciently widely opened to
fi t your bicycle frame. Place the frame clips around the bicycle frame and
then turn the knob nut in a clockwise direction. The wheels are secured by
pushing the wheel stopper up to the wheel, placing the tensioning straps
around the wheel rim of your bicycle and tightening the straps.
CAUTION
The front wheel must also be secured to prevent it
from turning using a small tensioning strap. To do this,
secure the front wheel to the rail again at a di erent
position.
The second bicycle is usually placed in the second rail, facing the opposite
direction to the fi rst and secured to the U-bracket with the long frame hol-
der. 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.

The bicycle rack may not be used without this safety
strap.

5.4 FOLDING OUT THE BICYCLE RACK

First remove the padlock.
If you wish to operate the folding mechanism, always hold the
U-tube with one hand to ensure that the rack is not able to
fold out suddenly. With the other hand, push the lever of the
folding mechanism down. Now you can fold the rack down
carefully. Raising the rack platform engages it back into the
transport position. To secure the folding mechanism during
travel, hook the second padlock into one of the drilled holes
of the folding mechanism.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

• After use, store the bicycle rack in a clean and dry place. Wash any mud or
other dirt off using water.
• Keep the trailer coupling clean and free of grease
• Keep the rack tow bar clean and free of grease.
• Check the bicycle rack regularly for damages. Damaged or worn parts
must be replaced immediately. Only original replacement parts may be
used.

necessary.
• Immediately treat any damage to paintwork with paint.
• Regularly lubricate rotating and moving parts.

7. NOTES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Due to its lighting system, the bicycle carrier is an electrical
device. Do not dispose of electrical appliances in household
waste! Discarded electrical and electronic equipment must
be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally
sound manner. Contact your municipal or city government
on how to dispose of old electronic equipment. The materials
are recyclable. You are making an important contribution
to protecting our environment through recycling, material
recycling or other forms of re-utilising old appliances!
Dispose of the bicycle rack in accordance with the laws and
conditions in your country.
