The packaging includes a mounting kit for masonry or timber use only.
If you are installing your rack to a steel frame or any other material, check
with your local hardware supplier to ensure you have the correct fixings.
You will need the following tools for the installation: tape measure; hammer;
power drill; the correct sized drill bits for the material you are drilling into;
a Phillips head screwdriver or a 10mm (3⁄8") socket or adjustable wrench to screw
or tighten in the Phillips Hex Head M6 Screws for both the rack and rear tyre rest.
NB: Fixing to drywall (also known as plasterboard or Gyprock) alone is not
recommended and voids our warranty. Your racks must always be fixed to a material
structurally strong enough to support the weight of the bike rack and bikes combined.
Check with the manufacturers of the material you are fixing to if you are not sure.
