5.6 FOLDING MECHANISM
If you wish to operate the folding mechanism, always hold the U-shaped bracket or the bicycles
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 rack down, even if bicycles are mounted.
With one hand, push down on the unlocking lever of the folding mechanism (Figure 17), with the other hand,
hold the bicycles or the U-shaped bracket. After unlocking, fold the bicycle rack down carefully.
When folding up, make sure that the mechanism is free and nothing is trapped in it. Make sure that the folding
mechanism is fully engaged before driving off.
5.7 FOLDING UP THE BICYCLE RACK
First fold the wheel rails back onto the rack table. Push the locking mechanism of the rear lights (Position 1 in
Figure 18) outwards, and then swivel the light mount back (Position 2 in Figure 18). Push it firmly against the rack
table until it engages perceptibly. Proceed accordingly on the other side of the rack.
In order to store the bicycle rack as flatly as possible, you can also fold the U-shaped bracket down. To do this,
undo the two knob nuts until the U-shaped bracket comes out of the locking mechanism. Now you can fold the
U-shaped bracket down onto the rack table.
