Laying Electrical Cables; Attaching The Plastic Covers; Mounting The Short Tensioning Straps; Mounting The Bicycle Rack On The Trailer Tow Bar - Eufab AMBER 4 Bedienungsanleitung

5.1.7 LAYING ELECTRICAL CABLES

Lay the cables along the tube of the base
frame. The cables may not be bent, stretched or
crushed, e.g. in the vicinity of the folding mechanism.
Secure the cables with the supplied cable ties.
When you are fi nished, trim any excess material
from the cable ties using cutting pliers.

5.1.8 ATTACHING THE PLASTIC COVERS

Fit the plastic covers onto the middle of the wheel rails.

5.1.9 MOUNTING THE SHORT TENSIONING STRAPS

8 x Tensioning strap, short
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 (see picture).

5.2 MOUNTING THE BICYCLE RACK ON THE TRAILER TOW BAR

Ensure that the trailer tow bar is undamaged, clean and free of grease.
Before you put the bicycle rack on the trailer tow bar, familiarise yourself with
the quick locking system.

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 must always be used as additional security
when using the bicycle rack.
Park your vehicle on a level surface. Apply the handbrake. 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 rack, from above, horizontally onto the trailer tow bar. Push
the lever of the quick locking mechanism down (force required is approx.
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
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 infl 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

4 x Tensioning strap, short
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, use the side of
the frame holder with the tensioning strap to secure to the bicycle 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 also be
secured to prevent it from turning using an additional small tensioning strap.
To do this, secure the front wheel to the rail again at a diff erent position (see
picture).
The second bicycle is usually placed in the second rail, facing the
opposite direction to the fi rst and secured to the U-tube with the long frame
holder. The wheels are secured in the same way as for the fi rst bicycle. The
third bicycle is placed in the third rail and secured with the long frame holder
to the U-shaped bar. The fourth bicycle is secured in the fourth rail. With the
wheel-to-wheel frame holder connect the frame of the fourth bicycle with
that of the third. The bicycle wheels are secured in the same way as those
of the fi rst bicycle. It may be necessary to use a diff erent method than the
one described to secure the bicycles individually 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.
