Place washers over threaded ends of the “C” Bolts. Thread Nylock Nuts onto “C”
Bolts until nuts are fully engaged but not firmly seated. (Figs. 7a & 7b) Fig. 8
shows the correct mounting alignment for the ROADSIDE and CURBSIDE
Uprights. Fig. 8a is CORRECT - the Uprights are square to the front of the tent
camper; 8b is INCORRECT. The Upright Bases are mounted to the OUTSIDE of
the “A” Frame. A is the CURBSIDE Upright; B is the ROADSIDE Upright.

NOTE: It is important to leave these brackets loose until the complete Tent
Camper Bike Rack is fully assembled. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in damage to components or assembly or cause serious personal injury or
death.

When Tent Camper Bike Rack is completely
assembled and all distances are set, firmly
tighten all Nylock Nuts on the Upright Bases.

NOTE: The Tent Camper Bike Rack should not
be able to move at all once all Nylock Nuts are
tightened firmly.

Safety Strap

Fig. 19

Measure the bicycles to be
mounted from the front axle to
the rear axle. Measure out the
same distance on the unit from
the Front Fork Axle Assembly
towards the rear of the unit.
Set Safety Strap in that loca­tion, parallel to the Tent Camper
bike Rack Crossbar.
(Fig. 20)

The Safety Strap will layover the side
of the unit as seen in Fig. 20. On the
frame of the unit, using at least a 3/8”
no larger than a 1/2” Tek Screw, mount
the “D” Rings on both sides of the unit,
Fig. 21. The ends of Safety Strap will
hook onto these “D” Rings allowing
the Safety Strap to be cinched down.
Strap should be snug but not tight.

NOTE: If the Safety Strap contacts a
furnace or water heater vent, be sure
to remove strap prior to using appliance.
Failure to remove strap may result in damage to unit or property, serious
physical injury or death.
