5. Bike Clearance
12-15"
Check ground clearance. It is the responsibility of
the user to ensure the necessary clearance (depen-
dent on vehicle, load, driving territory, etc.) is given
from load to ground. Generally, 12-15" is adequate
(Fig. 5). If necessary, rotate arms up until at least
12-15" of clearance is achieved. If you are using a
cable lock to lock your bikes to the rack, be sure
to rope it over the center cylinder of the rack and
through the bikes frames.
