Lock your bike.
NOTE: For bikes with a slack head tube angle, long-travel suspension fork, and a large frame size/long wheelbase, the
FrontLoader's lock cable may not reach all the way around the down tube of the frame. For the vast majority of bikes, this
is NOT an issue. If your cable doesn't reach, then adjust the front wheel hoop to the 29" wheel. The 29" wheel setting is
also useful for bikes with higher volume tires 2.35 and up.

CHECK REAR WHEEL.

Tighten the strap if needed.

I **** unable to release the front clamp. It is definitely not key locked. I can only turn it 1/4 of a turn anti clock wise, I then seem to feel increased resistance.

To release the front clamp on a Yakima FrontLoader, turn the front knob counterclockwise. If it only turns 1/4 of a turn and feels resistant, ensure that you are turning it fully in the correct direction. If resistance persists, check for any debris or rust that may be obstructing movement. If necessary, apply gentle force while ensuring the mechanism is not damaged. If the issue remains unresolved, consider seeking professional assistance.
