Bike Rack

Travelling with a loaded bike rack
During the journey, check the secure attachment of the bicycles on the bicycle rack
after the first 10 km and then at each break in the journey.
The motorhome is fitted as standard with holding cramps for hooking in a bike rack.
>
The bike rack is only to be loaded with bicycles (max. four pcs.).
>
The "Multitalent" bike rack may be loaded with a maximum of four bicycles (max.
50 kg).
>
Driving with a folded out bike rack without bicycles is not permitted.
>
Before every journey, check
- whether the bike rack without bicycles is properly folded up,
- whether the bicycles are securely lashed to the rack using the bike rack belts.
>
Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight and the axle load by the addi-
tional loading of bicycles.
Loading the bike rack with bicycles
When loading the bike rack, observe the centre of gravity. The centre of gravity of the bicycles must
be as close as possible to the rear wall of the motorhome. The bike rack should always be loaded
from the inside to the outside.
This is how the bike rack is correctly loaded with four bicycles:
Place the heaviest bicycle directly against the rear wall.
Place the lightest bicycles in the centre or on the outside of the bike rack.
Secure the front and rear wheels of a bicycle with the retaining straps on the bike rack.
And secure each bicycle on the retaining bracket or retaining arm.
If the bike rack is loaded with one bicycle only, position it as closely as possible to the rear wall of
the vehicle.
