Top edge fittings Select 2 x 160cm straps and assemble
dumbells as illustrated. Open the tailgate, and from inside
your vehicle thread the straps over the top edge leaving
the dumbells hanging free. Carefully close the tailgate
then gently pull the straps until the dumbells sit firmly
against the interior trim.
NOTE: Panel hooks, as shown in step 4, should not be
fitted to a glass edge. In the absence of any glass edges
to the vehicle tailgate, always use the dumbells to the top
and panel hooks to the side. If your vehicle has glass
edges to the side and a metal top edge the dumbells
must be fitted to the glass edge position. If your vehicle
has both glass edges to the top and to the sides then
dumbells should be fitted in all positions replacing the
panel hooks. Dumbells (Also known as Glass Edge
Fittings) are available separately as an accessory.
Top edge fittings Attachment of the upper
straps to the vehicle
Offer the carrier to the vehicle with the lower tube resting
on the upper area of the bumper. If necessary adjust the
upper arm to sit against the tailgate of your vehicle or the
upper surface of the boot lid. The carrier main frame
should be leaning towards your vehicle with reasonable
clearance, typically approx. 8cm (3 inches).
This will reduce as the straps are tightened. Ensure the
cycle support arms point slightly upwards. Fully tighten all
hand wheels.
Special Fitting Instructions
For use when fitting rear cycle carriers to the Renault
Laguna 5dr. Hatch 1994-2001 model
15 16
Due to the rubber moulding running around
the edge of the rear window, mounting of the
top straps along the top edge of the rear
window can cause deformation and eventually
damage to the moulding.
To eliminate this we advise mounting the
carrier top straps as detailed in this
special instruction.
Feed the top straps through the tailgate hinges as shown
(one strap each side), leaving the dumbells hanging freely
inside (Fig 15). Carefully close hatch and then pull free
ends of straps trapping dumbells against the interior trim.
(Fig 16). Attach both straps to cycle carrier and refer to
the cycle carrier instructions for all remaining fitting
instructions.
Note: The manufacturer operates a policy of continuous
development, and reserves the right to alter
specifications without notice.
In the event of fitting difficulties, telephone our helpline
