Do not cover the bicycles with plastic sheets or other protective coats. Heavy loads in the trunk should be stored as far to the front as
possible in order to ensure even rear weight distribution.
If the vehicle is equipped with an electric tailgate, please ensure the necessary free space once the bike carrier is installed. If
possible, it should be deactivated and manually operated. For vehicles with an electronic acoustic parking system, malfunctions
may appear once the bicycle rack is installed.
Damaged and worn parts of the bike carrier system should be replaced immediately. While driving, all screws and levers of the
installed bike carrier should be tightened. It is recommended to always lock the handwheels. While driving, the bike carrier always
has to be locked.
Modifications to the bike carrier are generally not permitted. Repairs or replacement of parts should be carried out by expert
personnel only. Only original spare parts may be used.
For vehicle types whose initial permit was issued after October 01, 1998, the installed bike carrier system or the load may not cover
the third brake light of the vehicle. The third brake light of the vehicle has to be visible: right and left in relation to the vehicle's
longitudinal axle – in a horizontal angle of 10°, to the top in relation to the light edge – in a vertical angle of 10° and to the bottom – in
relation to the light bottom edge – in a vertical angle of 5°. If these values are not obeyed, a third replacement brake light has to be
installed.
The bike carrier system is suited for the transport of bicycles with standard frames. Westfalia Automotive GmbH assumes no
liability for personal and/or property damage or damage caused thereby due to improper assembly or use of the product.
Should you notice after multiple uses that the bike carrier system can be rotated on the trailer hitch or that the activation force of the
clamping lever – and therefore the clamping force – is reduced, the clamping mechanism has to be adjusted. Lubricate the bolts
before adjusting. For adjustment, an adjusting screw is located on the right side of the clamping mechanism. By turning the screw to
the right, the manual force needed is increased. Turing the screw to the left reduces the manual force. The lever needs to be activated
by 35-40 kg. Please contact your distributor. (www.westfalia-automotive.de)
While driving at night, the reflectors of the wheels should be covered so that other road users are not disturbed or irritated. The light
is intended for a 12V system. The license plate on the bicycle rack has to conform to the license plate of the vehicle. The license
plate and the lighting system of the bicycle rack may not be covered. While driving, the driver should check the rearview mirror in
order to assure proper attachment of the bicycle rack and detect possible shifting as quickly as possible.
In case of changes, continue driving with reduced speed until it is safe to stop and retighten screws and fasteners of the bicycle rack
or the bicycles. These installation and operating instructions include the general permit for the bicycle rack which always has to be
taken along in the vehicle.
Maintenance instructions
The bike carrier system can be cleaned with water and normal car shampoo. Please do not use a high-pressure jet. Please
disassemble the bicycle rack before using a car wash. Periodically lubricate the bolts of the clamping mechanism.
Locks:
After 100 locking cycles, after 2 months at the latest, the locks need to be serviced. Spray the dust cover and the inside of the cylinder
with resin-free oil and activate a couple of times with the key.
Subject to change.
