5.6 FOLDING MECHANISM

If you wish to operate the folding mechanism, always hold the
U-bracket with one hand to ensure that the rack is not able to
fold out suddenly. (Risk of injury)
To open the car boot, you may fold the bicycle rack down, even if bicycles
are mounted.
If you hold the U-shaped bracket fi rmly with your hand, place your foot
on the pedal, Figure 13, under the license plate holder. Carefully lower the
bicycle rack by slowly pulling the U-bracket backwards.

To fold up the bicycle rack, lift it at the rear and push the U-bracket towards
the vehicle. The bicycle rack must engage audibly.

trailer hitch as well as the attachment of the bicycles
to the rack. Also regularly check the functions of the
lighting system of your bicycle rack.
