Installatie-instructies

1. Eerste montage: The carrier arrives disassembled. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the packaging for initial assembly. This process may take up to two hours for the first time. Only one person is needed for pre-assembly.
2. Vehicle Adjustment: The carrier must be adjusted to your specific vehicle only once. This involves setting the lower clips and ensuring proper fit. Some adjustments may require a 10mm wrench.
3. Montage op voertuig: Position the carrier against the vehicle's rear. Engage the clip system by pressing the clip devices. The carrier attaches to the vehicle's trunk or tailgate. Ensure the lower pins are securely placed under the tailgate and the upper hooks are over the tailgate.
4. Securing the Carrier: Tighten the two iron straps using the provided key. Verify that the carrier is firmly attached and stable on the vehicle. It is recommended to have two people for the first mounting to the vehicle.
5. Attaching Wheel Rails: It is often easier to attach the bicycle wheel rails after the main carrier frame is mounted to the vehicle.
6. Protecting Vehicle Paint: Consider using protective covers (e.g., foam rubber, leather, or paint protection film) for the contact points between the carrier and your vehicle's paintwork, especially where the clips and hooks make contact.

Gebruiksaanwijzing

1. Fietsen laden: Position the bicycles easily into the designated rails. The carrier is designed to accommodate two bicycles.
2. Fietsen vastzetten: Use the provided fastening material, including nylon straps, to secure the bicycle wheels to the carrier rails. The rigid arms with articulated heads allow for flexible attachment to the bicycle frames, avoiding obstacles. Ensure bikes are positioned front/back to prevent rubbing.
3. Trunk Access: The design allows the trunk lid to be opened even with bicycles loaded on the carrier.
4. Fietsen uitladen: Bicycles can be loaded and unloaded quickly, typically in a few seconds, once the securing straps and arms are released.
5. Driving with Carrier: Ensure all screws, nuts, bolts, and bicycle fastenings are securely tightened before driving. The carrier provides stability during travel, but be aware of increased vehicle length and width.

Onderhoud

• Schoonmaak: Regularly clean the carrier with mild soap and water to remove dirt, road grime, and salt, which can cause corrosion.
• Inspectie: Periodically inspect all components, including straps, clips, bolts, and foam sleeves, for wear, damage, or signs of rust. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Smering: Apply a suitable lubricant to moving parts and hinges as needed to ensure smooth operation.
• Bescherming: The carrier includes high-density foam sleeves to protect the vehicle's bodywork. Ensure these sleeves are intact and properly positioned. Consider additional protection for vehicle contact points.
• Opslag: When not in use, the carrier is foldable for easy storage. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust, especially on metal components.

Probleemoplossing

• Difficulty with Initial Assembly: The first assembly can be complex. Refer to the detailed instruction manual provided with the product. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented before tightening.
• Carrier Not Stable on Vehicle: Ensure all clips and straps are correctly engaged and tightened according to the setup instructions. The carrier should be adjusted to your specific vehicle model. Re-check all fastening points.
• Bicycles Rubbing Against Each Other or Vehicle: Adjust the positioning of the bicycles on the rails. Utilize the articulated arms to secure bike frames in a way that prevents contact. Ensure bikes are loaded front-to-back if necessary to optimize spacing.
• Scratches on Vehicle Paint: This can occur at contact points. Always use the provided foam sleeves and consider adding extra protective material (e.g., paint protection film) where the carrier's clips and hooks touch the vehicle.
• Rust Development: Some users have reported rust on lower tubes. Regular cleaning and drying, especially after exposure to moisture or road salt, can help prevent this. Applying a rust-inhibiting spray to exposed metal parts may also be beneficial.
• Bicycles Difficult to Lift: The carrier requires lifting bicycles to approximately 110 cm. If this height is problematic, consider alternative carrier types.
