1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT use the cycle carrier if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause failure or possible
personal injury.
WARNING! Due to the variety in design of vehicles & cycles, it is the users full responsibility to ensure no
damage occurs whilst using this cycle carrier. Correct attachment of carrier to a vehicle is therefore critical
and is beyond control of the manufacturer, distributor, or supplier.
WARNING! The user must secure the carrier and any cycles to be carried properly, checking the security
frequently when in use.
Use strong, good quality tie restraints for securing cycles to the carrier. DO NOT use string, or elasticated
straps.
WARNING! The locking mechanism is spring loaded, operate with care.
If your vehicle lights and/or number plate are obscured by your bikes, you are required BY LAW to
replicate them with an auxiliary lighting kit.
Avoid damage caused by hot exhaust fumes do not position cycles directly next to the vehicles exhaust,
especially the bicycle tyres. If necessary fit an exhaust deflector.
Ensure that bicycles do not come into contact with the vehicle bodywork and provide protection as
required.
WARNING! Remove any loose objects from the bikes i.e pumps, bottles etc.
WARNING! Avoid any protrusions beyond the side of the car as these may present a risk of injury to
passers-by.
DO NOT use the cycle carrier for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
DO NOT strap any other items to the carrier, only bicycles.
WARNING! Drive carefully - Be aware of cross winds, sudden braking or hard cornering, reduce speed
accordingly when using carrier.
WARNING! This carrier is designed for temporary use only, remove when not in use or before going
