Setup and Installation

The Fiamma Carry-Bike Pro Hymer Dethleffs Bicycle Carrier is designed for rear mounting on compatible Hymer and Dethleffs vehicles. Installation typically involves securing the main frame to the vehicle's rear wall using the provided mounting brackets and hardware.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and verify against the parts list (not provided in this manual, refer to product packaging).
2. Identify Mounting Points: Locate the designated mounting points on the rear of your Hymer or Dethleffs vehicle. These are typically reinforced areas.
3. Attach Upper Brackets: Secure the upper mounting brackets to the vehicle's rear wall. Ensure they are level and firmly attached.
4. Attach Lower Brackets: Install the lower support brackets, ensuring they provide stable support for the carrier's base.
5. Mount Carrier Frame: Lift the main carrier frame and align it with the installed brackets. Secure the frame to both upper and lower brackets using the provided bolts and fasteners.
6. Install Bike Rails: Attach the bicycle rails to the horizontal support bar. These rails are where the bicycle wheels will rest.
7. Attach Bike Holding Arms: Secure the adjustable bike holding arms to the vertical support bars. These arms will clamp onto the bicycle frames.
8. Final Check: Before loading bicycles, double-check all bolts, straps, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.

Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure about any step.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to load and secure bicycles on the carrier:

1. Prepare Carrier: Ensure the carrier is in its upright and locked position.
2. Position First Bicycle: Place the first bicycle onto the rails, ensuring its wheels are seated correctly in the wheel supports.
3. Secure Frame: Use the adjustable holding arm to clamp firmly onto the bicycle's frame. Ensure the clamp is tight but does not damage the frame.
4. Secure Wheels: Use the provided straps to secure the bicycle wheels to the rails.
5. Load Additional Bicycles: Repeat the process for additional bicycles, ensuring even weight distribution and that no part of the bicycles obstructs vehicle lights or license plate.
6. Verify Security: Before driving, gently shake each bicycle to confirm it is securely fastened and will not shift during transit.

When not in use, the carrier can often be folded or adjusted to reduce its profile, depending on the specific model's features. Refer to the product's specific folding mechanism if applicable.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Fiamma Carry-Bike:

• Cleaning: Clean the carrier regularly with mild soap and water, especially after exposure to dirt, salt, or harsh weather conditions. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

• Inspection: Before each use, inspect all straps, buckles, bolts, and frame components for signs of wear, corrosion, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately.
