system, risk of injury.

The maximum load of the rear carrier

system is 40 kg. The maximum load

per bicycle is 20 kg.

system has been correctly

engaged. If the rear carrier system

will not engage correctly, do not fit

objects to the system and slide the

system back. Seek the assistance

of a workshop.

Swivel the left clamping lever (1) first,

followed by the right clamping lever

(2) until they stop. Both clamping

levers must point backwards,

otherwise safe functionality is not

guaranteed.

Unfold pedal crank recesses

Check the cable and lamp position to

ensure these are correctly installed

and are securely located.

Push the clamping lever down and

push the lamp support into the

Adapting the rear carrier system

to a bicycle

The maximum width for the pedal

crank is 38.3 mm and the maximum

depth is 14.4 mm.

Rotate the left pedal (without a chain

cog) vertically downwards. The pedal

on the left pedal crank must be

horizontal.

The front bicycle must have its front

wheel facing left.

The rear bicycle must have its front

wheel facing right.

illustration.

Attaching a bicycle to the rear

carrier system

Caution

Make sure that the pedal does not

touch the surface of the rear end

carrier. Otherwise the crankset

might be damaged during the

transport.

If the bicycle has curved pedal

cranks, screw in the pedal crank unit

all the way (position 1).

With the rotary lever on the pedal

crank recess, roughly adapt the

adjustable pedal crank unit to the

protrusion of the pedal crank.

If the bicycle has straight pedal

cranks, unscrew the pedal crank unit

completely (position 5).

Insert pedal crank mount into outer

rail of each pedal crank recess from

above and slide downwards until at

least underneath the notching.

64

Storage

Place the wheel recesses so that the

bicycle is roughly horizontal. Here,

the distance between the pedals and

the tailgate should be at least 5 cm.

Both bicycle tyres must be in the

wheel recesses.

Caution

Ensure that the wheel recesses

are pulled out as far as necessary

to have both bicycle tyres placed

in the recesses. Otherwise a

horizontal mounting of the bicycle

is not guaranteed. Disregard could

lead to damage of the bicycle

wheels caused by hot exhaust

fumes.

Attach the pedal crank by rotating the

attachment screw on the pedal crank

mount.

Align the bicycle in the longitudinal

direction of the vehicle: Slightly

loosen the pedal mount.

Place the bicycle upright using the

rotary lever on the pedal crank

recess.

If the two bicycles obstruct one

another, the relative positions of the

bicycles can be adapted by adjusting

the wheel recesses and the rotary

lever on the pedal crank recess until

the bicycles no longer touch one

another. Ensure there is sufficient

clearance from the vehicle.

Storage

65

The settings for the wheel recesses

and on the rotary lever on the pedal

crank recess should be noted and

saved for each bicycle. Correct

presetting will facilitate refitting of the

bicycle.

Hold on to the bicycle, loosen the

attachment screw for the pedal

bearing mount, then lift the pedal

bearing mount to remove it.

Retracting the rear carrier system

Notice

It is recommended to attach a

warning sign at the rearmost bicycle

to increase visibility.

Removing a bicycle from the rear

carrier system

Tighten the attachment screw for the

pedal bearing mount to its maximum

point by hand.

Secure both bicycle wheels to wheel

recesses using strap retainers.

Check the bicycle to ensure it is

secure.

Push the pedal crank mounts into the

pedal crank recess as shown in the
