Unfold the bicycle rack for use as shown in the following Figures.
Figure 6: Step 1
Make sure that the locking mechanism of the license plate holder, Figure 9 Position B, engages correctly.
To fold up the bicycle rack, first release the locking mechanism of the licence plate holder. To do this, pull the hand lever, Figure 9 Position A, to the centre of the
licence plate. Then follow the steps described above in reverse order.

5.5 MOUNTING THE BICYCLE RACK WITH BICYCLES

Open all the tension belts on the wheel rails by pressing down on the lock at the rear and then pulling
out the tension belt completely, Figure 10.
Position the first bicycle, if possible - the heaviest, in the first wheel rail (the wheel rail closest to the vehicle). Connect the frame of the bicycle to the U-bracket
using the short frame holder. Rotate the knob nut anti-clockwise until the frame clip has opened sufficiently to accommodate the bicycle frame. Insert the
bicycle frame into the frame clip. Rotate the knob nut clockwise until the frame clip loosely encompasses the bicycle frame. Align the bicycle and the frame
holder to ensure that it all fits together.
Place the second bicycle in the second wheel rail, facing the opposite direction to the first. Connect the frame of the second bicycle to the U-bracket using the
long frame holder. Rotate the knob nut anti-clockwise until the frame clip has opened sufficiently to accommodate the bicycle frame. Insert the bicycle frame
into the frame clip. Rotate the knob nut clockwise until the frame clip loosely encompasses the bicycle frame. Align the bicycle and the frame holder to ensure
that it all fits together. Make sure that the two bikes do not collide with each other.
Now tighten the knob nuts firmly.
You can only lock the frame holder when it has been closed securely.
Insert the key into the lock of the knob nut and turn so that the red marking faces the lock icon. Remove the key. Your bicycle is now secured to prevent theft.
The frame holder may cause minor pressure points on the bicycle frame and damages to the paintwork. Protect the bicycle
frame, for example, using protective film
Place the tensioning belt of the wheel holder around the rim of the wheel and insert the tensioning
belt into the anchor clip. Pull hard on the tensioning belt, Figure 11.
Additionally secure the front wheel against twisting with a short tension strap.
