Read these instructions completely before beginning installation of this product. Have your local professional bicycle mechanic
perform the installation if you lack the knowledge or tools to perform installation correctly.
WARNING:
• Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic. Never modify
your bicycle or accessories. Read and follow all product instructions and warnings including information on the
manufacturer's website. Inspect your bicycle before every ride. Always wear a helmet
• Do not exceed rack load capacity of 100lb (45kg) (complies with ISO 11243:2016)
• Do not mount a child seat and trailercycle to the rack at the same time
• When using a passenger attachment with your rack, make sure your passenger understands bicycle helmets are for
bicycling only and are not to be worn when off the bike. A helmet must not be worn in play areas, on playgrounds, when
climbing trees, or at any other time other than while riding the bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious injury. Passengers and operators should always wear CPSC-certified bicycle helmets
• Do not allow any of the passenger's body, clothing, shoelaces, or toys to come into contact with moving parts of the
bicycle. Contact with moving parts may result in entrapment or entanglement, resulting in serious injury to passengers.
Interference with moving parts may also result in a crash and serious injury to other passengers or the operator.
Ensure a proper foot retention system is in place
• The operator needs to pay attention to and maintain contact with the bicycle to avoid tip over and possible injury to
a passenger during passenger loading and cargo loading, and while a passenger is seated on the bicycle
• Never lift the bike while passengers or cargo are loaded. Doing so may result in an accident and injury to the operator
or passenger(s), or damage to personal property. Unload all passengers and cargo, then team-lift the bike from beneath
the deck if necessary
• Never adjust the rack while passengers or cargo are loaded. Doing so may cause a fall or tip-over resulting in serious
injury to operator or passenger(s). Unload all passengers and cargo before making any adjustments to the rack or any
rack accessories
• Position reflectors and lights so that they are not obstructed when the rack is loaded
CAUTION: Passengers must be able to hold their head upright while wearing a bicycle helmet to ride. A physician should
evaluate any rider who is of questionable developmental age or ability
WARNING: Failure to follow any of these requirements may lead to instability, resulting in a crash and serious injury
