Before Installing and Using This Bicycle
Attachment Kit
If the bicycle attachment is not installed properly, it
may come out of position while the vehicle is in motion,
resulting in serious injury or accident. Read these
instructions carefully before installing the bicycle
attachment.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
• Be careful not to damage the painted surfaces of the
vehicle when installing the bike attachment.
• If you are installing more than one bike attachment,
you may need to alternate the mounting positions
(front to rear) to allow for handle bar clearance.
• Make sure the security retainer and the locking clamp
lever are installed on the outboard side. See the
Owner's Manual supplied for details.
• The crossbars have a directional positioning. The
short portion in front of the channel should face
toward the front of the vehicle.
• These instructions show the bicycle attachment
being installed on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle; use the same procedure to install the
bicycle attachment on the driver's side of the
vehicle.

lever and turn it counterclockwise.
• If the mounting lever pressure is too loose (the
lever locks into place, but the bicycle
attachment is loose on the crossbars), lift up
on the lever and turn it clockwise.
