- The Carry-Bike PRO is an universal bicycle carrier for motorhomes with flat rear
walls, available in short (PRO C) and long (PRO) version, and, as optional, also
without fixing kits for the installation on vehicles with preinstalled brackets. It is
supplied with Bike-Block blocking system and Rail Quick/Premium Rail, it is
standard delivered for the transport of 2 bicycles. Can be upgraded to the third and
fourth rail to carry up to 4 bikes. Do not to exceed the max. weight of 60 kg.
- If you exceed the maximum permitted weight, the braking distance of your vehicle
will be increased. Check before you leave.
- Setting the Carry-Bike on rear axis of the vehicle, the standard weight distribution
on two axis could be modified; be sure that it doesn't exceed the maximum
permitted load (verify the data on your own logbook).
- Never exceed the maximum permitted length and the total weight of the full-load vehicle.
- Do not cover the number plate or lights. Repeat lights and plate in case the
Carry-Bike covers them, even partially.
- Before installation, clean carefully the area where the bicycle rack will be mounted
and use rubber protections in order to avoid any friction, and, consequently, any
damages to the body/paint of the vehicle. Periodically check rubber parts and, in
case they are porous or worn, immediately replace them. If not used for long
periods, we suggest to remove the Carry-Bike from the vehicle.
- Make sure that the support brackets are located where they cannot move or shift
sideways. They also must not touch the roof of the vehicle, the hinges and the
corresponding bolts or screws.
- Periodically check the bicycle rack to make sure it is firmly attached, especially
during the first 10 km. Make sure the belts are not loose and that the holding
brackets have not shifted.
- In case you use the bike cover, pay attention that it is duly fixed and does not
cover the lights. Detachable parts like child safety seats, bags or air compressor
have to be uncoupled and put away inside the vehicle.
- Bicycles have to be fixed both with two Quick-Safe (one piece per wheel) and
Security Strip on the frame. Both Quick-Safe and Security Strip have to be
periodically controlled. In case of damage, they have to be immediately replaced.
- For extra safety travelling, we suggest using steel cable antitheft device.
- While fixing the bikes, verify that there is enough distance between handlebars
and/or pedals and vehicle's wall, to avoid compromising the painting.
- The load must be evenly distributed (the heaviest bike must be placed near the
wall of the vehicle) and must not exceed the maximum width of the vehicle.
- In case of using electrical bikes with larger wheels, we suggest the E-Bikes Rail
Premium. Besides we suggest using the modular Bike-Block Pro D1 and D2 blocking
system for an easier bikes fixing. Do not exceed the maximum weight allowed.
- Be careful when driving and beware of hairpin bends and of gusts of wind. Also keep
in mind that you need a longer braking distance. Beware dangerous road crossing
and garage's entrance. Additional rear view mirrors are required in case of reduced
visibility.
