Naudojimo instrukcijos

Loading Bicycles

The rack is designed to carry up to four bicycles with a combined weight not exceeding 120 lbs (54.4 kg). The narrow arm design accommodates most bike frames.

1. Išskleiskite rankas: If the carrying arms are folded, release the locking mechanism and extend them horizontally until they click into place.
2. Position Bikes: Lift each bicycle and place its top tube onto the rack's carrying arms. Ensure the bikes are evenly distributed and do not obstruct vehicle lights or license plates.
3. Secure Bikes: Use the integrated straps or cradles on the rack arms to firmly secure each bicycle. Ensure all straps are tightened to prevent bikes from swaying or coming loose during travel.
4. Patikrinkite klirensą: Before driving, verify that the lowest point of the bikes (e.g., front wheel) has sufficient ground clearance, especially over speed bumps or uneven terrain.

Folding Arms for Storage

When not transporting bikes, the carrying arms can be folded down to reduce the rack's profile and for easier parking or storage.

• Locate the arm folding mechanism (usually a pin or lever) at the base of the carrying arms.
• Release the mechanism and carefully fold the arms downwards until they are parallel with the main mast.
• Ensure the arms are securely locked in the folded position.

Tilting for Trunk Access

The rack features a tilt function, allowing you to access your vehicle's trunk or tailgate without removing the entire rack or the bikes.

• Ensure bikes are securely fastened or removed if necessary for easier tilting.
• Locate the tilt release mechanism (typically a pin or lever near the base of the main mast).
• Release the mechanism and carefully tilt the rack downwards, away from the vehicle.
• After accessing the trunk, lift the rack back into its upright position until it locks securely.

Priežiūra

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your Enthuze 4 Bike Rack and ensure its safe operation.

• Reguliariai valykite: Nuvalykite stovą su skelbimuamp cloth to remove dirt, road grime, and salt, especially after use in adverse weather conditions.
• Patikrinkite tvirtinimo detales: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and pins to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten any loose fasteners.
• Sutepkite judančias dalis: Apply a small amount of lubricant to hinges, pivot points, and the hitch pin mechanism to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Check Straps/Cradles: Inspect the bike securing straps and cradles for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any worn components to ensure bikes remain secure.
• Tinkamai laikykite: When not in use, store the bike rack in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Trikčių šalinimas

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your bike rack:

• Stebulės svyruoja prikabinimo įtaise:

  Ensure the anti-rattle hitch pin is fully inserted and tightened. Some movement is normal, but excessive wobbling indicates a loose connection. Verify the hitch receiver size matches the rack's compatibility (1.25" or 2").

• Difficulty Fitting 4 Bikes:

  While designed for four bikes, modern bike geometries (e.g., full suspension, large frames, or bikes with non-horizontal top tubes) can make fitting four bikes challenging due to limited space between fasteners. Try alternating bike directions, removing front wheels, or using frame adapters for bikes with unique frame shapes. Consider carrying fewer bikes if space is too tight.
• Bike Front Wheel Too Close to Ground:

  This can occur with certain vehicle types (e.g., lower SUVs) or bikes with aggressive geometry. Solutions include removing the front wheel of the bike, adjusting the bike's position on the rack, or considering a rack with a higher vertical mast if this is a persistent issue.

• Rack Twists at Support Level:

  Ensure the hitch pin is fully secured and the rack is properly seated in the receiver. Avoid exceeding the 120 lbs (54.4 kg) weight capacity. Distribute bike weight as evenly as possible.
