Adapting the rear carrier system to a bicycle

With the rotary lever on the pedal crank recess, roughly adapt the adjustable pedal crank unit to the protrusion of the pedal crank.

If the bicycle has straight pedal cranks, unscrew the pedal crank unit completely (position 5).

If the bicycle has curved pedal cranks, screw in the pedal crank unit all the way (position 1).

Push the release lever on the strap retainer and remove the strap retainer.

60 Storage

Prepare the bicycle for attachment

Attaching a bicycle to the rear carrier system

Note

The maximum width for the pedal crank is 38.3 mm and the maximum depth is 14.4 mm.

Rotate the left pedal (without a chain cog) vertically downwards. The pedal on the left pedal crank must be horizontal.

The front bicycle must have its front wheel facing left.

The rear bicycle must have its front wheel facing right.

Put on the bicycle. The pedal crank here must be placed in the pedal crank recess opening as shown in the illustration.

Caution

Make sure that the pedal does not touch the surface of the rear end carrier. Otherwise the bicycle chainset might be damaged during transport.

Insert pedal crank mount into outer rail of each pedal crank recess from above and slide downwards as far as it will go.

Attach the pedal crank by rotating the attachment screw on the pedal crank mount.

Caution

Make sure to pull out the wheel recesses as far as necessary to have both bicycle tyres placed in the recesses. Otherwise a horizontal mounting of the bicycle is not ensured. Disregard could lead to damage of the bicycle wheels caused by hot exhaust fumes.

Storage 61

Place the bicycle upright using the rotary lever on the pedal crank recess.

If the two bicycles obstruct one another, the relative positions of the bicycles can be adapted by adjusting the wheel recesses and the rotary lever on the pedal crank recess until the bicycles no longer touch one another. Make sure there is sufficient clearance from the vehicle.

Place the wheel recesses such that the bicycle is more or less horizontal.

Here, the distance between the pedals and the tailgate should be at least 5 cm.

Both bicycle tyres must be in the wheel recesses.

Align the bicycle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle: Slightly loosen the pedal mount.

Tighten the attachment screw for the pedal bearing mount to its maximum point by hand.

62 Storage

Check the bicycle to make sure it is secure.

Caution

Ensure gap between bicycle and vehicle is at least 5 cm. If necessary, loosen handlebar and swivel sideways.

The settings for the wheel recesses and on the rotary lever on the pedal crank recess should be noted and saved for each bicycle. Correct presetting will facilitate refitting of the bicycle.
