Troubleshooting

Lights are not working.

Check that the 13-pin connector is fully inserted into the vehicle's socket and that the vehicle's lights are functioning. Ensure the carrier is correctly seated on the towbar.

Bike arm will not secure onto the bike frame.

Ensure the bike frame is within the 22 mm to 90 mm diameter range. Clean the frame and the bike arm contact points of any dirt or debris. Re-adjust the arm for a snug fit.

Carrier feels loose on the towbar.

Verify that the one-handed coupling mechanism is fully engaged. Check for any obstructions on the towbar or within the coupling mechanism. Refer to the manual for proper coupling procedure.

Difficulty fitting multiple bikes.

Adjust the position of each bike on the carrier to maximize spacing. Ensure wheels are strapped down securely to prevent movement. Consider using the adapter for a 3rd or 4th bike if spacing is consistently an issue.
