according to the corresponding DIN standard (no 74058). Also check if the belts work properly.
If not, replace then before you go on a ride.
• After a short ride you should always check if the whole carrier and the bicycyles are fastened
properly, if the tension of the belts is right, and if the different screws and nuts are still screwed
down firmly. But check these points over during the whole ride, as well.
• The driver has to check regularly if the carrier system is fixed well. He is furthermore
responsible for the correct fastening of the charge (according to the road traffic regulations): it
may not surpass the edge of the head- or rear lights by more than 400 mm.
• By and by the crochets, the belts, the screws, and the fixing belts can show signs of wear. If
this is the case, you have to replace them immediately. When the carrier system is mounted
you also have to adjust your speed to the changed riding and breaking conditions.
• The airflow, hard breaking, narrow bends, high speed, ascending slopes, or potholes can
influence the riding qualities of your vehicle. You have to reduce your speed accordingly and to
strictly observe the speed limits. At no time may you surpass the maximum speed of 80 mp/h
(130 km/h).
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by a too high speed or improper manner of
driving. Generally the driver alone is responsible for the correct fastening of the carrier and its
charge. We do not assume any responsibility for incorrect mounting or handling of this product
nor for damages of the car’s lacquer coating or any consequential damage. How to avoid
damage of the coating: Wrap the tension belts with a cotton tissue and keep the deck lid clean.
• Before you go on a longer ride and always in between the transport check if the fastening
systems and the screws are locked firmly, and if the whole entity is mounted properly.
• The bicycle carrier with mounted bicycles may not surpass the bar for the rear lights by more
than 40 cm.
• To be allowed to drive your car with mounted carrier, you also have to equip the vehicle with a
separate external rear-view mirror.The width of the bicycle carrier with mounted bicycles may
not surpass 2,5 m. Be especially careful when riding through narrow passages, garage doors,
or the like. The bicycles should not possess any sharp parts which could injure people. Objects
which are hard to keep in view may not surpass the bicycle rails. If you do not use the carrier,
dismount it from your car. Also dismount the carrier if you want to wash your vehicle. Do not
cover the bicycles with objects which could be loosened by the airflow.
• This system has to be mounted carefully and the mounting and operating instructions should
be observed closely. During the whole transport you are responsible for your own and the
safety of other persons.
• Abide by the corresponding regulations valid in your respective country.
• Please inform every driver who uses your bicycle carrier about these instructions, as well.
