Securing Bikes
1. For 2 bicycles, the best technique is to position the
bicycles front to back/back to front with the chain ring to
the outside.
2. Hang 1 bicycle on the trailer side of the bicycle rack
so the top of the wheels are each supported by a cradle
(Fig.7).
3. Secure by tensioning each rubber strap over the top of
each tire and engaging a strap hole with the end of the
cradle.
4. Use 1 SwayStop pin to secure at least 1 wheel below
the frame where the wheel crosses the wing using the
same technique with the stop pin rubber strap. A second
and optional SwayStop pin is provided to secure both
wheels of the bike to the rack if desired.
5. Repeat for a 2nd bicycle on the tow vehicle side of the
bicycle rack.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN
THE BICYCLE RACK AND THE TRAILER COUPLER ARE
SECURE/TIGHT/READY FOR TRAVEL. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THE BICYCLES ARE SECURELY ATTACHED TO
THE BICYCLE RACK BEFORE DRIVING.

Dimensions of Assembled Jack-It (Fig. 7)
Check dimensions to ensure adequate clearances for
tongue jacks and liquid propane (LP) tanks. Critical
measurements for jacks are inside clearances of 22 ½”
and 18 ½” for the standard and manual PowerTowers. The
29 ⁄” and 25 ⁄” measurements from the coupler to the
wing base will determine LP tank clearance.
