Hollywood Racks Express Serie Instrucciones De Instalación

Model E3: 3 bike carrier, includes side straps
When using your new Hollywood Express rack, please follow these important recommendations:
• Install the Express rack on structurally sound trunks and rear decks only. If you own a Mini Van or Sport Utility
Vehicle (SUV), be sure to read the special notes below.
• Never attach hooks to aluminum, plastic, glass, fiberglass or carbon fiber. If in doubt, check the surface with a
magnet. If the magnet sticks, it's okay to use the rack. If not, do not use the rack on the subject vehicle. The rack
strap hooks can damage non-steel surfaces. Hooks may be attached to roof rack cross bars. Check the contour
of the bar first to be certain that it will accept and retain the hook securely.
• Clean the surface of the trunk, rear door or deck lid before installation of the rack. Clean the surfaces of the
sponge pads on your Express rack. Dirt trapped between the pads of the rack and the trunk can scratch the
vehicle's paint due to the abrasive composition of dirt.
• Tighten all straps both before and after mounting bikes on the rack.
• Maximum capacity is 35 lbs per bike. Not to be used for electric bikes.
• Use the upper rubber tie down straps, two per bike when securing your bike(s) to the rack.
• Always use the attached Safety Strap after loading all of the bicycles onto the Express rack. This final
Safely Strap should be threaded through all of the bikes, and the frame of the Express rack itself.
• Keep the bicycle tires at least one foot away from the exhaust pipe(s). Automotive exhaust is hot enough to melt
bicycle tires.
• Check the rack, bikes and straps regularly during use.
• Drive slowly when used on bumpy or rock/dirt surface
roads.
Installation on Your Vehicle:
The Express rack comes to you fully assembled in the box.
Please read and adhere to all instructions as follows:
1. After removing your Express rack from the box, loosen
the black hubs by turning the hub adjustment knobs
counter-clockwise. This will allow the two sections of the
rack (main frame & support arms) to move relative to one
another for correct rack placement on your vehicle. Note
how the teeth on the hubs interlock into place. See Fig. 2.
2. Adjusting the rack frame: Position the Express rack on the vehicle such that the bicycle support arms are
parallel to the ground, or angled slightly upward at the back of the rack. The upper pads should rest on a steel
trunk lid, or rear door. See Fig. 1a & 1b. If necessary (especially on vans, station wagons and SUV's) the upper
pads may rest on glass. Be careful not to interfere with the rear mounted wiper blade if the vehicle is so equipped.
