1. Place the carrier against the vehicle approximately 50mm above the base of the tailgate
2. Adjust the Carrier (see 'Adjusting the carrier angle'), so it sits against the tailgate of the vehicle,
ensuring that the upper section rests in the upper or lower third of the panel on which it sits (not
the middle).
3. The Frame should be leaning towards the vehicle when in position whilst maintaining an
approximate clearance of 100mm from the vehicle. This gap will reduce as the straps are
tightened
