- The Carry-Bike Mercedes Viano is a bicycle carrier specially designed for Mercedes Viano
campervans. It is supplied with Bike-Block blocking system and Rail Quick Rail, it is standard
delivered for the transport of 2 bicycles. Can be upgraded to the third and fourth rail to carry
up to 3 bikes. Do not exceed the max. weight of 50 kg.
- If you exceed the maximum permitted weight, the braking distance of your vehicle will be
increased. Check before you leave.
- Setting the Carry-Bike on rear axis of the vehicle, the standard weight distribution on two axis
could be modifi ed; be sure that it doesn't exceed the maximum permitted load (verify the
data on your own logbook).
- Never exceed the maximum permitted length and the total weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
- Do not cover the number plate or lights. Repeat lights and plate in case the Carry-Bike covers
them, even partially.
- Before installation, clean carefully the area where the bicycle rack will be mounted and use
rubber protections in order to avoid any friction, and, consequently, any damages to the
body/paint of the vehicle. Periodically check rubber parts and, in case they are porous or
worn, immediately replace them. If not used for long periods, we suggest to remove the
Carry-Bike from the vehicle.
- Make sure that the support brackets are located where they cannot move or shift sideways.
They also must not touch the roof of the vehicle, the hinges and the corresponding bolts or screws.
- Periodically check the bicycle rack to make sure it is fi rmly attached, especially during the fi rst
10 km. Make sure the belts are not loose and that the holding brackets have not shifted.
- In case you use the bike cover, pay attention that it is duly fi xed and does not cover the lights.
Detachable parts like child safety seats, bags or air compressor have to be uncoupled and put
away inside the vehicle.
- Bicycles have to be fi xed both with two Quick-Safe (one piece per wheel) and Security Strip
on the frame. Both Quick-Safe and Security Strip have to be periodically checked.
In case of damage, they have to be immediately replaced.
- For extra safety travelling, we suggest using steel cable antitheft device.
- While fi xing the bikes, verify that there is enough distance between handlebars and/or pedals
and vehicle's wall, to avoid compromising the paint.
- The load must be evenly distributed (the heaviest bike must be placed near the wall of the
vehicle) and must not exceed the maximum width of the vehicle.
- In case of using electrical bikes with larger wheels, we suggest the E-Bikes Rail Premium.
Besides we suggest using the modular Bike-Block Pro D1 and D2 blocking system for an
easier bikes fi xing. Do not exceed the maximum weight allowed.
- Be careful when driving and beware of hairpin bends and of gusts of wind. Also keep in mind
that you need a longer braking distance. Beware dangerous road crossing and garage
entrances. Additional rear view mirrors are required in case of reduced visibility.
- In some cases, the bicycle rack interferes with using the rear windscreen wiper.
Carefully examine the brush radius before turning on the rear wiper.
- IN CASE OF USE OF THE BIKE CARRIER WITH TOW MAKE SURE THAT THE TOW
HOOK IS ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE AND THE CORNER MOBILITY OF THE TOW IS
GUARANTEED (VOLUME MEASURING DIN 74058).
