Special Recommendations
•Avoid any vehicle bodywork of insufficient
strength, trim and items such as aerofoils
or spoilers.
• IMPORTANT! Fabric straps should be
checked routinely for signs of wear and
abrasion, and any worn straps must be
replaced immediately.
• After driving for a few miles STOP and
check that the carrier is secure and tight. If
necessary, re-tighten the carrier. This must
be repeated at suitable intervals depending
on the nature of the road.
• Do not exceed 45kg maximum load (3 adult
cycles) and 30kg max on saloon vehicles.
•To ensure full compliance with the road
traffic regulations, the use of lighting
board/number plate is required if your
vehicle’s existing lighting/number plates are
obscured by the use of the carrier.
• Drive with care, the handling characteristics
of your vehicle will be affected when
carrying cycles, (e.g. cornering, braking,
side winds etc).
• Retain these instructions for future
reference, ensure that any other users of
the cycle carrier are familiar with their
contents.
• The carrier may obstruct the rear window
wiper of your vehicle. DO NOT operate the
wiper with the carrier fitted. (HINT) Remove
fuse for extra safety.
• When positioning cycles on the carrier
ensure that they do not project beyond the
profile of the vehicle and that no part of any
cycle can touch the paintwork.
• The use of rear mounted cycle carriers may
be restricted in certain countries. Always
check with the relevant national tourist
authorities prior to commencing your
journey.
• Use cloth or foam padding to prevent
abrasion damage occurring between the
frames of your cycles, or from contact
between the cycles and the cycle carrier.
Halfords foam pad cycle protectors are
available.
• Care must be taken when positioning and
loading the cycle carrier to avoid placing
cycle tyres near the exhaust, and to ensure
that a satisfactory ground clearance is
maintained between the cycles and the
road. Extra care should be taken when
negotiating rough road surfaces, humps
and ferry ramps.
• All lengths are approximate.

The cycle frame locators can be adjusted to best suit the angle of
ladies’ and children's etc, cycle frames. A FALSE cross bar is
available, for the easy mounting of full suspension and low cross bar
cycle frames.
IMPORTANT: Do not open your boot/tailgate with the loaded cycle
carrier attached.
When removing the carrier from your vehicle (1) release both carrier
clamping levers. (2) Unhook the feet from the bottom of the tailgate.
(3) Unhook the metal clamp straps from the top edge of the tailgate.
CAUTION Make sure the carrier is fully supported during removal,
taking care not to damage paintwork.
Once you have set up the carrier for your first use, all adjustments
can remain in position.
When re-fitting, refer back and repeat steps 6, 7 & 8 until firmly fixed in
all directions.
