Operating Instructions

Using your bicycle parking rack is straightforward:

1. Position Bicycle: Roll the front or rear wheel of your bicycle into one of the U-shaped supports.
2. Secure Bicycle: Ensure the bicycle wheel is fully seated within the support for maximum stability. The rack is designed to accommodate tires up to approximately 5 cm (2 inches) wide.
3. Optimize Space: For multiple bicycles, alternate the direction of each bike (e.g., front wheel in, then rear wheel in) to prevent handlebars from clashing and maximize space efficiency.
4. Additional Security: For enhanced security, you can chain your bicycle to the rack using a suitable lock (not included).

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Relaxdays 4-Bicycle Parking Rack, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the rack periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, a mild soap solution can be used.
• Inspection: Regularly check all screws, nuts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Corrosion Check: Although made from corrosion-resistant steel, inspect for any signs of rust, especially if used outdoors. Address any rust spots promptly with appropriate rust treatment.
• Damage: If any part of the rack becomes bent or damaged, discontinue use and replace the affected components or the entire unit to prevent accidents.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your bicycle parking rack, consider the following:

• Instability: Ensure all screws are tightened. If floor-mounted, consider anchoring it to the ground. If wall-mounted, verify the wall material is suitable and anchors are correctly installed.
• Bicycles not fitting: Check the tire width of your bicycles. The rack is designed for tires up to approximately 5 cm (2 inches) wide.
• Difficulty assembling: Review the assembly steps and ensure all parts are oriented correctly. Do not force components together.
