Step 3: Attach Wheel Cradle AssemblyStep 2: Assemble Wings

Slide Wings into the Base pockets and secure the Wings to the Base with the Wire Lock Pins.

Determine the approximate center-to-center distance between the hubs of the bike wheels and attach the wheel cradles to the Wings with the Hair Pin Clips to match this distance.

Loading TIP: Load bicycle onto the carrier with the bicycle chain facing outward from the Wings and the inside pedal positioned downward. This helps keep chain lube off the carrier, and provides open space in the lower, center portion of the “V” for the

inside pedal(s) to t easily. Load the second bike so its handle bars face in the opposite direction of the rst bicycle for clearance.

Operation

Securing Bicycles on Carrier

Set bike(s) on wheel cradles. Secure bike(s) to rack starting with the Wheel Toggles. Finish securing with the Double Toggles.

Double Toggles TIP: The Double Toggles provide a number of ways to achieve Constant Tension™ of your bicycle to the carrier, using one or both double toggles to capture the fork, chain stay, or seat stay. Loop the Toggle over the pedal, crank, or other position on bicycle, allowing the elastic feature to pull the bike both down and inward against the Wing pads. The Constant Ten-

sion™ removes both “front to back” and “side-to-side” sway, rmly seating the bicycle during transit.

The V2 Base plate has a Toggle pocket (upwardly angled groove) on each of the four corners for Double Toggle attachments.

To prevent theft, the Base plate includes four holes for padlock locations for locking bicycles (bike locks not included with V2 Bike Rack).

Before Transit:

Attempt to shake the carrier to verify the NoMotion pin is tight in the hitch.

Verify that the safety pins are indeed locking the Wings to the Base Pockets.

Verify the Toggles are securing your bicycles wheels and frame to the carrier as explained earlier.
