IMPORTANT NOTES:
• This bicycle rack has been designed to carry 1 or 2 bikes. It can only be used in a Class 3 or Class 4 hitch.
• This rack is designed for typical use and applications (on paved or smooth gravel roads). Do not use this rack on a vehicle that will be driven on
rough roads or where the rack (and bikes) will be subject to signicant or constant jarring and/or shock, or any vehicle with very sti springs
that will transfer the load shock directly to the rack and bikes.
• Proper tting and installation of this carrier to your specic vehicle is critical, and is not the manufacturer’s responsibility.
• Improper use of this product may result in damage to your rack, your vehicle, your bicycles, or even other vehicles driving behind you as a
result of colliding with or trying to avoid fallen bicycles and/or the rack.
• The purchaser should be aware that the load created by a rack and bicycles can exceed the maximum rating on the hitch or bumper.
• Swagman Racks are powder coated to help prevent rust. When leaving them outside for extended periods of time the nish will lose its luster.
It is recommended that when not in use it is stored indoors.
• Take care to add padding on any area of the bikes that touches another bike or any part of the vehicle. Damage can and will happen (to your
bikes and/or to the vehicle) if care is not taken during the loading and transporting of your bikes, and padding used where necessary.
• Bicycle tires should be kept at least 6” away from the exhaust pipes of the vehicle. The high temperature exhaust exiting from the exhaust
pipes is hot enough to melt or damage tires. The bike rack should also be kept away from the direct exhaust ow. Also check when the bike
rack is folded up.
• Bikes tted with large accessories (such as a child carrying seat) will greatly increase the wind resistance and therefore the pressure on the rack
and all vehicle mounting points. Reducing vehicle speed will reduce the chance of any problems occurring because of this situation.
• After reading this manual, should you have any additional questions regarding the compatibility, tting, and/or use of this rack, please call
your nearest Swagman authorized retail dealer or Swagman Customer Service.
WARNING
Due to the increase in thinner/lighter “carbon frame bikes” this rack may be
inappropriate because the hook clamps the frame. Please check with your bike
manufacturer for specic details. We developed the Escapee RV two-bike for
these types of Carbon frame bikes. They feature ZERO frame contact. The hook
arm grabs the wheels and not the frame.
