Before starting installation:
Check suitability of vehicle! The tailgate must
be free of any accident damage etc. Hinges,
locks and spacers must be as standard and
undamaged. Tailgates with traces of external
corrosion are not suitable.
The carrier cannot be fitted to vehicles with
roof spoilers.
Loading the carrier requires two people.
Note:
The rear rack is pre-assembled.
Fitting to vehicle:

Fig.
To protect the paint surfaces affix the protecti-
ve films 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d as shown. Clean the
paint surface free of dirt and grease in area of
adhesion. Mark the positions of protective films
with e.g. adhesive labels (y) or tape.
Fig. 3
The top protective films 1a must be stuck
around the tailgate edge. Apply each protec-
tive film 1a with an overlap of approx. 10 mm
towards the roof. Fold the excess around the
edge with e.g. a cheque card z.
With the tailgate open rub firmly into place
from the inside.

Apply the middle protective films 1b for the
carrier support directly below the rear window
and press firmly with the finger over the edge.
Apply the bottom protective films 1c around the
bottom tailgate edge with an overlap of 10 mm.
Stick the paint protection films 1d below film 1c
to protect the paint surface of the bumper.

Loading bicycles:
Note:
Before loading remove child seats and loose
items such as drink bottles, saddlebags, etc.
Do not cover wheels with tarpaulins, protective
covers or similar.
Note:
Load heavier bicycle first.
Fig. 8
Fold down support frame 49, loosening wheel
strap 41 if necessary.
Pull out wheel rails 39 and tighten using clam-
ping nuts 45 . With children's bicycles it is
recommended to only partially pull out wheel
rails 39 so as not to impair the function of
wheel straps 41.
Swivel the long bicycle holder 7 (as shown
in figure) upwards and tighten with the hand-
wheel.
Note:
The loading and unloading of bicycles should
always be carried out by two people. Load the
heavier bicycle first.
Fig. 9
Load the first bicycle onto rear rack and secure
with the short bicycle holder 6.
Note:
The bicycle pedal on the vehicle side must
stand vertically upwards.
This provides maximum possible clearance to
rear window.

Fig.
Secure both bicycle wheels with the wheel
straps 41.
Ensure that the wheel strap is positioned cen-
trally between the wheel spokes so that it does
not chafe against the spokes.

Fig.
The second bicycle is placed the other way
round (handlebars to other side) and secured
with the long bicycle holder 7. Secure wheels
with the wheel straps 41.
ATTENTION:
Check fastenings and attachments before
each journey and after driving for a short peri-
od, re-tighten as necessary and re-check peri-
odically. Fastenings and attachments must be
checked more frequently when driving on poor
road surfaces.
Check clearance of rear window wiper. The
tailgate must not be opened when bicycles are
mounted.
Removing the bicycles:
Always unfasten the wheel straps 41 from the
wheels first, then unscrew the bicycle holders
6 / 7 and release from the frame.
