6. MOUNTING THE BICYCLE RACK
The bicycle rack must fi rst be assembled. Take all of the components out of the
packaging and set them out clearly. Every stage is described and clearly shows
which components are required for the assembly of the rack.
Step 1
Components
Unscrew the Phillips screws from the light holders, as shown in the
illustration. Plug the license plate holder together with the protective shell of
the left light carrier. Insert the preassembled connecting piece of the right light
holder into the square tube of the left light holder. Align the license plate
holder and the right light holder so that they fi t together. Slowly slide the
two light holders together until the license plate holder is fi rmly positioned
between the two protective shells. Screw the two screws for the license plate
holder and the one screw for the connecting piece back in.
The general operating permit must be carried in the
vehicle when the rack is mounted.
Do not travel with the bicycle rack empty. Store it in
the boot of your vehicle. This prevents increased fuel
consumption and protects the rack.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the
load and the load securing meet the regulations.
