Chances are, your bikes are just like
ours - your most valued possessions.
And if it has the Saris name on it,
nothing we build goes out the door
unless it’s worth putting those
possessions on. Call it obsessive. Call
it eccentric. We just chalk it up to
caring a hell of a lot about creating
the last rack you’ll ever need.
ADJUST CARRIER TO VEHICLE:
1
• To adjust rear legs, loosen knobs, remove from end of cylinder and
reposition (A).
• To adjust arms, loosen knobs, slide to center of aluminum cylinder and
rotate (B).NOTE: It is not necessary to move bumper legs, as the
bones rack is pre-assembled to fit a majority of vehicles and bicycles.
However, it of fers the flexibility of a wider arm or base spread if necessary .
To do so, remove rear legs, bumper legs, and arms and reposition
symmetrically as desired. For questions, see a local Saris dealer or call
1-800-783-7257 (C).

izquierda y vuelva a colocar (A).
•Para instalar los brazos, afloje las perillas, deslice hacia el centro del cilindro
de aluminio y gire (B). NOTA: No es necesario mover las patas de la
defensa, ya que la rejilla bones ya está ensamblada para que se ajuste a
casi todos los vehículos y bicicletas. Sin embargo, ofrece la flexibilidad de
una expansión más amplia del brazo, en caso de que sea necesario. Para
hacerlo, quite las patas y los brazos de la defensa y vuélvalos a colocar de
manera simétrica, tal y como usted lo desee. Para preguntas, contacte a
su distribuidor local Saris o llame al 1-800-783-7257 (C).

•Coloque las correas con gancho en forma de “upper” en la línea superior
del eje del vehículo, tal y como se muestra en las Figura 4.
NOTA: La conexión del gancho en forma de S se debe hacer sobre una línea de
eje con soporte – NUNCA sobre vidrio, plástico sin soporte o la rejilla en el
techo del vehículo.
•Coloque las correas inferiores con gancho en el borde inferior del
maletero en la posición C2 y las correas laterales con gancho en los
lados en la posición C1 o más arriba del doblez en el maletero en la
posición C3 (Figura 5).NOTA: Para los vehículos que tienen maleteros
cuadrados, como las mini vans, asegúrese de que las correas laterales
estén alineadas con el cilindro de aluminio
NOTA: Antes de instalar el cargador,
limpie todas las superficies del
vehículo que puedan tener contacto
con el cargador o sus correas.
Asegúrese de que los cojinetes de los

hacer eso, afloje la correa inferior, coloque el gancho dentro del
maletero, cierre el maletero, jale la correa hasta que el gancho
se tense contra la pared del maletero y apriete (Figura 6).
•Apriete todas las correas de la misma forma, sin dejar
ninguna floja. Cuando las correas estén en tensión, agite el cargador para ver si no
se mueven. Vuelva a apretar en caso de que sea necesario.
