9: Installing bikes on the rack
When carrying two bikes, the first bike mounted should be on the
inside (between the post and vehicle).
The bikes should always be positioned so that the lowest point on
the bike frame’s top tube is close to the vertical post.
In most instances, the bike handlebars should be staggered (first
bike’s handlebars on passenger side, second bike’s handlebars
on driver side, etc. If one or both bikes are recumbents, try to
balance the weight distribution. This may require that both
handlebars are on the same side.
1. Lower the vertical post as described earlier.
2. To adjust the first bike’s wheels trays, loosen the knobs and
slide wheel holders along the wheel support tube so that they are
positioned directly beneath each wheel.
Tighten knobs securely. Rotate the bike’s pedals so that the
vertical post can be raised and secured. Slide the ratcheting hook
down onto the frame. Tighten knob securely. Use the Velcro
straps on the wheel holder to secure the wheels to the wheel
holders.
3. Adjust the wheel holders of the second bike and mount
to the rack in the same procedure as described above.
4. Be sure that the hooks are well supported on the bike’s
frame and the knobs securely pushing down on the bike’s
frame.
Tips for carrying woman’s bikes and bikes with slanted top
tubes: Adjust the wheel trays so that the hook will rest in
the bike frame’s top tube and seat tube.
