MOUNTING THE BIKE CARRIER
The bike carrier comes unassembled. Remove all parts from packaging and
arrange them in a well-organized way. The instructions will clearly describe and
show the parts that you need for each step and how to assemble the bike carrier.
Step 1
Parts:
Mounting:
Put the eight wheel holders on the base frame of the bike carrier with the holes
right above the holes in the base frame. Then attach the wheel holders with the
sixteen bolts M6x50, washers M6 and M6 nuts.
Mount the two lamp holders together. This is done by
means of a small piece of iron connection that is
already pre-mounted on one side. Slide the rails
“together” and fix it by the supplied screw (M5x12)
and washers.
Mount the lamp holder rail at the bottom of
the base frame with the two M5x35 bolts and
washers.
Make sure that the rear fog lamp is mounted on the left side of the bike carrier!
End result:
37
Step 2
Parts
Mounting:
Slide the U-frame against the outside of the U-frame holders of the
base frame. Secure this U-frame with the supplied carriage bolts
(M8x60), washers and plastic rotary knobs.
Make sure the plastic rotary knobs are on the inside (see picture).
Please note: firmly tighten both rotary knobs so that the U-frame
will come on its place well.
Unscrew the plastic rotary knob of each frame
holder, so the clamps can be folded open. First
attach the rubber ring around the U-frame and
put the clamp around it. Subsequently, re-attach
the holder and screw the plastic rotary knob until
you can just turn the frame holders (the frames
of the bikes have to be attached to it, so they
have to be movable). The sides with the straps
are intended to fasten the bike.
End result:
38
Step 3
Parts:
Mounting:
Loosen and remove the little screws intended for the mounting of the number
plate holder from the light holder rail and fasten the number plate holder to the
rail. The number plate holder has to be level with the lighting.
With the cable ties supplied with the carrier, the light cable can be fastened
neatly at the bottom of the carrier. Make sure the cable will not interfere with the
tilting mechanism.
Slide the twelve short, black straps through the little
slots in the wheel holder, starting inside-out, going
around the wheel holder and then outside-in (see
picture).
Finally clip the four plastic covers over the middle of the
four wheel holders.
End result:

MOUNTING OF THE BIKE CARRIER ONTO THE HITCH BALL
The first step is to become familiar with the quick connector.
The quick connector consists of a case mounted to the bike carrier and a lever.
Using the lever, you can close and open the quick connector.
When mounting the bike carrier to the car, it is best that the car is parked
straight, the engine is turned off and the parking brake is activated. Make sure
that the tow ball is undamaged, clean and not greasy!
Release the locking/safety pin by pulling it out and rotating it by a quarter turn.
Release the quick connector by moving the handle in the vertical position.
Position the bike carrier on the tow bal from the top. Press the handle of the
quick connector downwards (approx. 35-40kg) until it stops (handle will stay
stable in the horizontal position). Turn the locking/safety pin until it is secured
(and the handle can no longer be pulled up).
Now test if the carrier is attached steady enough on the tow ball (and not easy to
twist). If not, you have to adjust the quick connector. If it is not tight enough,
take the carrier off again and screw in the adjustment screw of the quick coupler

Locking nut
Adjustment screw
a little bit further. Loosen locking nut first, screw in adjustment screw and
tighten locking nut again.
Check again if the carrier is properly secured to the
tow ball (and cannot rotate easily). Repeat this until
the carrier is properly secured.
Caution: Always make sure that the locking nut
of the adjustment bolt is tightened again!
When the bike carrier is not easy to turn anymore, the
quick connector can be locked. Lock the quick
connector with the locking/safety pin and the padlock
and take the key out. Keep it carefully on a safe place.
The bike carrier is now also protected against theft.
Always check if the quick connector is well secured with the
locking/safety pin and the padlock!

TILTING MECHANISM
For easy access to your boot, even if the bikes are mounted on the carrier, you
may use the tilting mechanism.
First unlock the lock of the tilting-mechanism handle: Press your finger into the
rear button (1), then slide the handle (2) horizontally backwards (away from
you).
With one hand, keep a firm grip on the U-
frame or bikes so that the carrier cannot
fall down in an uncontrolled movement.
With the other hand, pull the handle of
the tilting mechanism up to unlock it (3).
It is now possible to tilt the carrier.
By pushing the entire carrier up,
the tilting mechanism is locked
again (you hear a click). Make
sure to always secure the handle
again by sliding this to the locking
position.
The bike carrier may never be used if the tilting mechanism
is not well secured.

LIGHTING
This bike carrier is equipped with a lighting system. This system can be
connected to the hitch ball power socket of your car. Seeing that there are
different kinds of sockets that require different
kinds of plugs, this carrier comes with the
usual 7-pin plug and the 13-pin plug (Jaeger).
As a result, the carrier can be used with any
hitch ball!
Both plugs are in one housing. Please cover
the plug you don’t use with the supplied cover.
