General Safety and Pre-Installation Checks
Before proceeding with installation, carefully check that all parts are present and undamaged. Ensure the vehicle's rear wall or door is sufficiently solid to guarantee the resistance of the anchoring points. If not, reinforcement may be necessary. Always comply with local regulations and recommendations for installation by qualified personnel.
Important Warnings:
- Do not exceed maximum permitted length and total vehicle weight.
- Ensure correct weight distribution: heaviest bikes should be placed closest to the vehicle for stability.
- Always signal the presence of the bike carrier with appropriate signage, especially if rear visibility is reduced.
- Be aware of the carrier's presence when driving, especially during reversing maneuvers, and comply with speed limits and traffic laws.
- Periodically check the tightness of all fastenings, especially after the first few kilometers and before/after long trips.
- Ensure support brackets do not shift, touch the vehicle roof, hinges, or bolts.
- Do not close the rear door if screws and brackets are not tightened.
- When opening the rear door, ensure the Carry-Bike structure or Bike-Blocks do not interfere with the roof or opening systems.
- Maintain sufficient distance between handlebars/pedals and vehicle rear windows to prevent glass damage. Remove accessories from bikes (child seats, baskets) as they may detach due to vibrations.
- The rear windscreen wiper may not function with bikes mounted. Be aware of the wiper's sweep radius.
- Bike covers are not permitted on this Carry-Bike model.
- The tailgate can be opened with the Carry-Bike mounted but without bikes.
- It is recommended to rotate bicycle handlebars to avoid damage to the vehicle wall. Fiamma is not responsible for such damage.
