CLEANING AND MAINTANANCE
Under normal conditions and use, the bike carrier only requires cleaning, and is
otherwise maintenance free.
Clean the bicycle carrier regularly when used in coastal areas or in winter
conditions in order to wash off any salt and prolong the service life of the bicycle
carrier.
The bike carrier can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent, with warm water
and/or a soft cloth. First remove any coarse dirt and dust.
Do not use any solvents or similar cleaning agents, since these can
damage the bike carrier.
Leave the bike carrier to dry on its own. Do not use any electrical driers or other
heating equipment to speed up the drying process.
Clean the bike carrier regularly when used in coastal areas or in winter conditions
in order to wash off any salt and prolong the service life of the bike carrier.
Store the bike carrier in a dry and protected area when not used for extended
periods (e.g. over winter) in order to prolong the service life of the bike carrier.
Always slide the bicycle carrier back into the transport position so no dirt or dust
can remain in the sliding mechanism and limit a smooth sliding. In case of
fouling of the sliding mechanism, rinse it with water.
Check the bike carrier for wear before the start of every journey.
Defective parts and straps must be replaced.
The steel parts of the bike carrier are protected in the works against corrosion by
a powder coating. If this paint coating is damaged, please have the damage
rectified professionally as soon as possible.
Please refer to our customer service for the replacement of parts.
Any modification of original parts and materials or the construction of bike carrier
can adversely affect its safety and serviceability.
