5.2 MOUNTING THE BICYCLE RACK ON THE TRAILER TOW BAR

Ensure that the trailer tow bar is undamaged, clean and free of grease.
Remove any paint from the coupling ball.
Before you put the bicycle rack on the trailer tow bar, familiarise yourself
with the quick locking system.
The quick locking mechanism is a component with a tension lever (8). Acti-
vating the lever opens or closes the quick locking mechanism. With the help
of the securing bolt (9) and the padlock (10), the quick locking system may
be locked and secured.
The padlock is always required when using the bicycle
rack. The bicycle rack may only be used if the padlock
is employed correctly and locked. The lock is safety-
relevant.
Park your vehicle on a level surface. Apply the handbrake.
Remove the securing bolt from the quick locking mechanism and rotate by
90° to prevent it from engaging again. Open the quick locking mechanism
by lifting the tension lever.
Place the rack, from above, horizontally onto the trailer tow bar. Push the
lever of the quick locking mechanism down (force required is approxima-
tely 35-40 kg) as far as it will go (the lever will remain in the horizontal
position).
Check whether the bike rack is securely and rmly positioned on the trailer
tow bar (and can no longer be rotated). If this is not the case, the quick
locking mechanism must be readjusted. Lift the lever and remove the rack
from the trailer tow bar. Remove the protective cap (11) of the adjusting
screw (13). Undo the counter nut (12) of the adjusting screw and rotate the
adjusting screw on the quick locking mechanism tighter by a quarter turn.
Then tighten the counter nut again.
Replace the rack back on the trailer tow bar and check whether the rack is
securely and rmly positioned on the trailer tow bar. Repeat the adjustment
process until the rack is secure and rm. Push the protective cap back onto
the adjustment screw.
CAUTION
Always make sure that the counter nut on the
adjusting screw is correctly tightened!
Slight signs of pressure on the tow bar ball are normal
and do not in uence the functionality.
When the rack can no longer be rotated on the trailer tow bar, rotate the
securing bolt of the quick locking mechanism until it engages. Now close
the quick locking mechanism with the supplied padlock and remove the key
