Panel Hooks
Glass edge fittings
Note: Due to the close panel tolerances of some vehicles,
to aid attachment of the panel hooks, it may be necessary
to partially open the boot/tailgate to increase clearance.
Alternatively slide the panel hooks into position from
areas of greater clearance.
Offer the carrier to the vehicle with the lower tube resting on
the upper area of the bumper. If necessary adjust the upper
arm to sit against the tailgate of your vehicle or the upper
surface of the boot lid. The carrier main frame should be
leaning towards your vehicle with reasonable clearance,
typically approx. 8cm (3 inches).

This will reduce as the straps are tightened. Ensure the
cycle support arms point slightly upwards. Fully tighten all
quick release adjusters.
Position the lower strap chassis hooks to an appropriate
location under the car for example; towing eye, steel
chassis section or bumper support.
Note: It is vital that you use a strong metal location to secure
these chassis hooks. Ensure the webbing straps do not touch
the vehicle exhaust.
Position the side panel hooks on the edges of the
tailgate/boot. Tighten all straps alternately. Check that
the carrier sits firmly in position and there is a minimum
5cm (2 inches) clearance between main carrier frame
and your vehicle.

The straps supplied with this product are suitable for cycle frames

straps to the carrier by threading through the top set of
cambuckles. Pull the straps through until the cycle carrier

Special Recommendations
Special Fitting Instructions
Number Plate Fitting Instructions
l To ensure full compliance with the road
traffic regulations, the use of a lighting
board/number plate is required if your
vehicle’s existing lighting/number plate
is obscured by the use of the carrier.
l Drive with care, the handling characteristics
of your vehicle will be affected when carrying
cycles, (e.g. cornering, braking, side winds etc).
Important
l Avoid any vehicle bodywork of insufficient
strength, trim and items such as aerofoils
or spoilers.
l Do not exceed 45kg maximum load
(3 adult cycles).
l Carrier straps must always be re-tightened
after cycles have been mounted to the carrier.
l After driving for a few miles STOP and
check that all straps are secure and tight. If
necessary, tighten the straps and tidy away any
loose ends. This must be repeated at suitable
intervals depending on the nature of the road.
l Retain these instructions for future
reference, ensure that any other users of the
cycle carrier are familiar with their contents.
l The carrier may obstruct the rear view
window wiper of your vehicle. DO NOT operate
the wiper with the carrier fitted.
l When positioning cycles on the carrier ensure
that they do not project beyond the profile of
the vehicle and that no part of any cycle can
touch the paintwork.
l Do not open tailgate when carrier is fitted to
your vehicle.
l Straps should be checked routinely for signs
of wear and abrasion, and any worn straps
must be replaced.
l Do not position webbing straps or the cycle
tyres close to the vehicle exhaust.
For use when fitting rear cycle carriers
to the Renault Laguna 5dr. Hatch
Due to the rubber moulding running around
the edge of the rear window, mounting of the
top straps along the top edge of the rear
window can cause deformation and eventually
damage to the moulding.
15
Feed the top straps through the tailgate
hinges as shown (one strap each side),
leaving the glass anchor tube hanging freely
inside (Fig 15). Carefully close hatch and then
pull free ends of straps trapping anchor tubes
against the interior trim. (Fig 16).
Attach both straps to cycle carrier and refer to
the cycle carrier instructions for all
remaining fitting instructions.
To eliminate this we advise mounting the
carrier top straps as detailed in this
special instruction.
