Special Recommendations
Avoid any vehicle bodywork of insufficient
strength, trim and items such as aerofoils or
spoilers.
IMPORTANT! Carrier straps must always be re-
tightened after cycles have been mounted to the
carrier. 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
all straps are secure and tight. If necessary,
tighten the straps and tidy away any loose ends.
This must be repeated at suitable intervals
depending on the nature of the road.
Do not exceed 45kg maximum load (3 adult
cycles) or 30kg maximum load (2 adult cycles)
when the carrier is used on a booted saloon.
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.
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 outside the UK.
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.
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.
