rockymounts Quick Release Manual 

Guidelines/Restrictions: - Bicycles must be equipped with quick release front wheel. - Do not exceed the load capacity of your vehicle’s roof rack. - Bicycle weight limit is 35lbs with this carrier. - Forks equipped with carbon fiber dropouts or forks without safety tabs are not covered under this warranty. To Load a Bicycle Remove front wheel from bicycle. Open the handle of the quick release so the black handle is straight and the fixed end points down. Load the fork onto the quick release so both fork ends are resting straight on the quick release. Close the handle by flipping it 90 degrees to the closed position. If it is too loose, open the handle and turn it like a screwdriver (clockwise to tighten, counter clockwise to loosen), and close the handle again. Re-adjust until a firm and positive snap is felt when closed. The Quick Release Skewer is not an on/off switch. You must close the handle with enough tension to hold the bicycle. Rock the bicycle side to side to ensure proper mounting. The fork should be properly seated and not move. If unsure, do not use. Failure to comply could result in the bicycle detaching with subsequent damage to the bicycle, vehicle, or other motorist. Maintenance: Once a year, remove the rack from the car, clean and inspect for damage. Replace if worn or corroded. Put a drop of oil (chain lube, motor oil etc.) on the metal pivot points, threads and axle of the Quick Release. Note: Position your bike mount at least 3” in from the end of the bar, this will prevent the handle from being turned in the lock positions.

- Do not use bicycle covers, bicycle bras, or bikes equipped with disc wheels. - Do not take the vehicle off road. - Locks are only deterrents to thieves, RockyMounts cannot be held liable for stolen bicycles. - Remove rack before entering a car wash. - Check all fastenings (nuts, bolts, straps and skewer) before each use.
