Warnings

English

It is your responsibility to use your best discretion while installing this

rack to ensure that you do not damage your vehicle.

1. Although the rack is designed to hold the bicycles away from the

painted surface of your vehicle, use care when installing and loading

your rack to avoid scratching or denting your car.

2. Empty racks are hard to see even with red cradles and reflective end

caps – If you park your vehicle with an empty rack in a high traffic

area, it’s a good idea to attach a flag or other visible soft item to the

end of the rack.

SAFE AND PROPER USE OF YOUR CARRIER

1. Always secure your bicycles to the rack using the cradles and

straps – preferably with additional cable lock (included with some

models), rope, or additional shock cords. The individual cradles

offer solid mounting, but should be supplemented for safety.

2. NEVER drive off pavement with a loaded carrier.

3. Some hitches are mounted low to the ground – especially when your

vehicle is loaded down with gear and people. Use extra caution when

entering or exiting driveways to avoid damaging the bike wheels.

4. DO NOT let bicycle tires hang near he exhaust pipe. Hot exhaust

will melt and destroy tires.

5. If a strap appears worn or frayed, REPLACE IT! Worn straps are

dangerous. Replacement parts are available from our customer

service department at 1 800 456 BELL.

6. Maximum rack load ranges from two bikes/70lbs. to

four bikes/120lbs.

7. Inspect and check your rack’s straps and attachment bolt before

and after loading – the weight of the bicycles may cause the

straps to loosen.

8. Check Straps at regular intervals during use, more frequently on

bumpy roads, and immediately if the bicycles shift position.

9. Always make sure bicycle frames rest ON the support arms.

Never hang bicycles from below the arms on the cradles.

10. Cleaning bicycle support arms helps give the cradles optimum grip.

Clean with soap and water only and rinse/dry thoroughly. Do not

use solvents as they may weaken straps and cradles.

11. Although it’s possible to do so and will cause no damage to the rack.

We recommend that you fold the rack away from the car only when

it is unloaded. A full load of bikes can be unwieldy to lower and lift –

pinched fingers and scratched bicycle paint often result.

12. Never leave unlocked bikes unattended. Thieves are quick!

Secure your bikes to the hitch using a cable lock or other visible

theft deterrent. BELL offers an excellent range of bicycle locks

that are portable, effective, and durable.

13. When your rack is not in use and not mounted to your car, find a safe

place to store it lying down with the end caps facing up. Do not store

it where it can be tripped over or driven into and damaged.
