การทำงานและการใช้งาน

- Place the bike's wheels into the adjusted wheel trays.
- Position the bike's down-tube into the rubberized cradle.

2. Accessing Vehicle Rear
The rack features a foot pedal activated tilt mechanism, allowing you to access your vehicle's rear cargo area without removing the bikes.
- Press the foot pedal located at the base of the rack.
- Gently tilt the rack downwards, away from the vehicle.
- Once you have accessed your cargo, lift the rack back into its upright position until it locks securely.
The foot pedal mechanism allows the rack to tilt, providing convenient access to the vehicle's trunk or tailgate.
การซ่อมบำรุง
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Saris Freedom 2-Bike Hitch Rack.
- การทำความสะอาด: Clean the rack regularly with mild soap and water, especially after exposure to road salt or dirt. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- การตรวจสอบ: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and straps for tightness and wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
- การหล่อลื่น: Apply a small amount of grease or silicone spray to moving parts, such as the tilt mechanism and hitch pin, to ensure smooth operation.
การแก้ไขปัญหา
If you encounter issues with your Saris Freedom 2-Bike Hitch Rack, consider the following common solutions:
- Rack Wobbles: Ensure the threaded hitch pin is fully tightened. Some movement is normal, but excessive wobble indicates improper installation.
- Bikes Not Secure: Verify that the wheel trays are correctly positioned for your bike's wheelbase and that all ratcheting straps are pulled taut. The down-tube cradle should firmly hold the frame.
- Difficulty Tilting: Check for any obstructions. Lubricate the pivot points of the tilt mechanism if it feels stiff.
