Firmly tighten the locking knob by turning clockwise until tight. Rotate the key 180° and remove.

Adjust the saddles to best fit the bike. Tighten the saddles with a Philips screwdriver. Place the bike into the saddles and secure by reattaching the
saddle straps.
Suggestions:
When placing multiple bikes onto the carrier, alternate the bikes so handle bars and pedals do not contact each other.
To minimize movement during transport, secure the bike frames and wheels with elastic cords.
Remove valuable gear from bike if unattended and use a lock to deter theft of your bike(s).

carriage bolt.

PRORAC GUIDELINES
Please review the instructions and warranty carefully. Assembly and installation are the purchaser’s responsibility and beyond ProRac’s control.
Therefore, ProRac exclusively limits its warranty to the repair or replacement of a defective ProRac product for up to three years from retail purchase.
Warranty excludes damage to your vehicle, cargo, or any person or property during assembly, installation, and use.
♦
Make sure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps, and locks are firmly attached, tightened, and locked before every trip. All fasteners must be periodically
inspected for signs of wear, corrosion, and fatigue. Check your load at stops during long trips to ensure continued fastening security.
♦
Check all local and state laws governing projection of objects beyond the width and length of vehicle. Be aware of the width and height of your
cargo since low-clearance branches, bridges, and parking garages can affect the load. Never drive with any lock, knob, or rack in an open or
unlocked position. All long loads such as, but not limited to, sailboards, surfboards, kayaks, canoes, and lumber must be tied down front and rear to
the bumpers or tow hooks of the vehicle.
♦
Remove your rack and accessories when they are not in use and before entering automatic car washes.
♦
All locks must be turned and moved periodically to ensure smooth operation. Use graphite or similar dry lubricant. Locks are designed to deter
vandalism and theft. Remove valuable gear if your vehicle is unattended. Replacement keys are available only through your ProRac dealer.
♦
All cargo will affect the vehicle’s driving behavior. For your safety, adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and load being carried. Obey all
posted speed limits and traffic cautions.
♦
Due to their wind resistance, do not carry disks or wheels with covers on the ProRac bike carrier.
♦
Consult your ProRac dealer if you have questions regarding the operation and limits of ProRac products. Review all instructions and warranty
information carefully.
