5. PLACING CYCLES ON CARRIER
5.1
When placing bicycles (max. of 3) onto the carrier support arms, place them in opposite directions. To avoid damage do not position
them directly next to the vehicle exhaust, especially the bicycle tyres.
Secure bicycles to the carrier with suitable ties or straps (not provided) DO NOT use string or elasticated straps. Ensure that the
bicycles do not come in contact with the vehicle bodywork.
5.2.
Ensure that the protection pads are in place and adjust if necessary to protect the bicycles rubbing against the cycle carrier.
5.3.
When you have secured the bicycles on the carrier, check and re-tighten all the straps and tie off the surplus lengths of strap for extra
security and to prevent the loose ends flapping.
r WARNING! Remember the driver of the vehicle is responsible for the security and safety of the load carried. Check the tension
of all straps and security of the bicycles frequently during your journey. If your lights or number plate are obscured, you must
fit an auxiliary number plate and/or lighting system. Contact your local Sealey dealer for details.
