CYCLE CARRIER SYSTEM for 3 / 4 CYCLES
for vehicles without a spare wheel attached to the
rear door. (Maximum capacity 65kg)
COMPONENTS
A 1 Column Support Bracket
B 1 Column
C 1 Cycle Support Arms
R 1 Retaining Strap
S 3 Bungee Straps
T 1 Self Adhesive wear strip
W 1 Dust Cap
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY.
1. Check that all of the components listed
above are contained in the box
2. Mount column support bracket (A)
between the towbar and the towball (if
fitted) with the vertical tube on the right
hand side, using the M16 coupling bolts
supplied with the towbar. The torque
settings for these bolts is 252Nm (172
lbs/ft).
3. Locate column (B) into column support
bracket (A) with the buttons directly
above one of the holes on the column
support bracket tube and press the
uppermost of the two spring buttons on
the bottom of the column. This allows the
column to drop and “click” into place.
The lower spring button must be visible
in the hole (X) in the column support
bracket (A) for the column to be secure.
Note: The column is identical at both
ends and therefore does not have a
specific top or bottom.
4. Locate the support arms (C) onto the
column (B) and press the lower of the
two spring buttons allowing the support
arms (C) to drop and “click” into place.
As before, the upper spring button must
be visible in the hole in the support arms
(C) for these to be secure.
5. Attach buckle of retaining strap (R) to the
welded D Ring on the carrier arms (C),
by passing the buckle through the metal
loop and then through the strap loop, as
shown, and pull tight.

6. Attach the padded tube of the retaining
strap (R) to the vehicle by “trapping” the
padded tube either inside the vehicle
door, boot or hatch, as shown. A
transparent self adhesive wear strip (T)
is supplied to stick to the vehicle where
the strap passes over the edge of the
vehicle bodywork to prevent chaffing of
paint work. Where the carrier is fitted to
a vehicle with tall vertical doors and the
angle of the strap to the horizontal
exceeds 45o the strap should be passed
(and trapped) through and NOT over the
doors.
7. When securely attached, tension the
retaining strap to take up all of the slack
prior to loading any cycles.
Secure the loose end of the strap by
wrapping it around the carrier arms and
tie off through the metal loop. This will
prevent possible chaffing of the cycles
due to the loose strap “flapping” at
speed.
8. The carrier is now ready for attaching the
cycles.
See
sheet

for
recommendations of usage.
Note: When 2 or less cycles are
being carried the use of retaining strap
(R) is not essential
Carrier Removal Instructions
1. (After removal of cycles) De-tension
retaining strap (R) and separate the two
halves by pulling the strap through the
metal buckle
2. Remove support arms (C) by depressing
the visible and lower of the spring
buttons and lift off the support arms (C)
whilst the button is depressed.
3. Remove column (B) by depressing the
visible and upper of the two spring
buttons and lift up column (B) whilst the
button is depressed.
4. Fit the moulded weather cap (W) to
prevent the ingress of dirt and dust.
