1/2” Threaded Pin
Bike Installation:
1. Pull the lever on the bottom of the upright ratchet arm and fold down.
This allows you to easily put the inside bike onto the rack. The taller bike
should go on the inside location.
2. Adjust the trays to the wheels of the bike so that they are all the way in
the tray. Once these are adjusted tighten the knobs on the tray so that
they are secure and cannot slide. Attach the strap to secure the wheel
into the wheel tray.
3. Fold the upright bar back into the upright position. You should hear a
click to indicate the cam is engaged. NOTE: You may have to tilt the bike
towards the vehicle to make it easier to fold the ratchet bar upright.
4. Push the longer hook down onto the bike. Press the release button on
the hook to slide it more easily into place. Release the button when the
hook is securely holding the bike. Releasing the button locks the hook
in place and prevents it from any upward movement while in transit.
Ensure the hook arm is fully locked into the notches on the upright
ratchet arm. IMPORTANT: You should always ensure that the hook
is located in the lowest position on the top tube. It is usually at the
connection point of the top tube and the seat tube (diagram 8).
5. Install the outside bike in the same manner using the short hook.
6. After complete installation check all pins and tighten knobs to
ensure they are all tight and that the bikes are motionless in the rack.
IMPORTANT: You have to ensure that all of the wheel straps are
attached and secure.
7. To lock your bikes rotate the key in the ratchet hook so the button
cannot be depressed (diagram 9). NOTE: Never leave your bikes
unattended for any length of time. Locks are meant as a deterrent and
won’t prevent bike theft.
WARNING
Due to the increase in thinner/lighter “carbon frame bikes” this
rack may be inappropriate because the hook clamps the frame.
Please check with your bike manufacturer for specic details.
We developed the Semi 2.0 and Semi 4.0 for these types of
Carbon frame bikes. They feature ZERO frame contact. The hook
arm grabs the wheels and not the frame.
