Assembling Your glideAWAY® Bike Carrier

For a 2” receiver leave the black aluminum sleeve on the foot.

For a 1.25” receiver remove the black aluminum sleeve from the foot by using

the included hex keys.

Warning!

Do not exceed load rating for the hitch-mounting bracket specied by

its manufacturer. Consult hitch-mounting manufacture for load limit if

ot shown on mount or in the vehicle literature. If load limit is unknown,

limit rack capacity to 2 bikes. This carrier has been designed to attach

securely to a vehicle. It may not be compatible with all RV applications

and is not to be used on the back of a travel trailer or fth wheel.

However, your attachment is critical and beyond control of the

manufacturer. The user of this carrier must secure it properly to the

vehicle and you need to regularly inspect parts for wear or damage.

The Manufacturer is not responsible for and does not guarantee the

attachment of this carrier to any vehicle, and is not liable for any

damages resulting from its attachment. The liability of Heininger

Holdings, LLC, is limited to the purchase price of the carrier components

which prove defective in materials and/or workmanship. Be aware that

some countries/states/provinces require an unobstructed view of the

vehicle license plate. If rack or its cargo obstructs the plate, you may

need to relocate your license plate. Consult your local vehicle code for

restrictions and rules.

We recommend no more than 150 lbs. & never more

than 4 bikes on your glideAWAY

Locate the receiver tube assembly (the heavy subassembly wrapped in the

brown corrugated insert) and the upright (the T-shaped component). These

two parts make up the base components for the rack.

• Place the upright in position perpendicular to the receiver tube assembly.

• Align the holes of the receiver tube assembly articulating arms with the

lower two holes of the upright. (Make sure the center hole in the top of the

receiver tube is facing upward).

• Insert the washers between the upper hinge points of the upright and

receiver tube assembly and the lower hinge points of the upright and

receiver tube assembly. The washers keep the units from scraping

and abrading.

• Align the holes of the upright and receiver tube assembly. Insert the

clevis pins to secure the two components together.

• Lay assembled unit on its side.

• Attach e-clip to the lower portion of each exposed clevis pin.

• Pull rack closed (traveling position) until safety latch mechanism and

receiver tube assembly snap shut. Tighten the safety lock which is the

large wing handle protruding from the lower portion of the upright.

Note that the alignment for this will line-up best after installed in the

hitch. Gravity has a lot to do with t & alignment.

The bike arms can also be lowered when not in use.

• Simply remove the clevis pin from the upright, lower the arms so they are

parallel with the upright and insert the clevis pin, securing it with the

bridge pin. Now you can travel with the bike arms in the lowered position.
