Bicycle Carrier Safety
WARNING: Always retighten vehicle mounting straps after cycles have been mounted on
the carrier.
DO NOT exceed the maximum load for this product: 45kg for 3 adult sized cycles. If the carrier is
used on a booted saloon type vehicle 30kg or 2 adult sized vehicles.
Check the tension of the straps at regular intervals whilst the carrier is fitted and tighten as
necessary. Adjust the length between intervals depending on the road surface.
DO NOT obscure vehicle lighting or number plate with bicycles or carrier. If obstruction is
unavoidable ALWAYS use a lighting/number plate board to comply with road traffic regulations.
Whilst using the carrier, the handling of the vehicle will be affected when carrying bicycles.
DO NOT operate the rear windscreen wiper whilst the carrier is fitted, as the carrier may obstruct
the movement of the wiper and cause damage to the wiper mechanism or the carrier.
Ensure that the bicycles are positioned on the carrier so they are not overhanging the width of
the vehicle, the exhaust pipe or in contact with the vehicle paintwork, and are sufficiently placed
with enough ground clearance between the bicycles and the road.
When using the bicycle carrier in a country other than the UK, check with the relevant transport
authorities as use in some countries is retricted
IMPORTANT: Take extra care whilst travelling over humps, ramps and rough/uneven road
surfaces.
• Straps should be protected against friction, sharp edges or any surface likely to cause damage
• Never knot or twist a strap
• All straps should be inspected before use by a competent person
• Never attempt to repair straps. If in doubt withdraw from service and consult the retailer
• Avoid contact with heat and hot surfaces
• Never trap a strap under a load; crushing can seriously damage straps

• Chemical exposure results in local weakening and softening of the material. This is indicated by

• Heat or friction damage is indicated by the fibres taking on a glazed appearance; in extreme
cases, fusion of the fibres can occur. If this is visible, the ratchet strap should be removed from
service
