Make sure foot pads are free of any debris that could scratch vehicle’s finish. Figure 2 • To adjust rear legs, loosen knobs, remove from end of cylinder and reposition (A). • To adjust arms, loosen knobs, slide to center of aluminum cylinder and rotate (B).NOTE: It is not necessary to move bumper legs, as the bones rack is pre-assembled to fit a majority of vehicles and bicycles. However, it offers the flexibility of a wider arm or base spread if necessary. To do so, remove rear legs, bumper legs, and arms and reposition symmetrically as desired. For questions, see a local Saris dealer or call 1-800-783-7257 (C). 1 ADJUST CARRIER TO VEHICLE: As shown in figure 3c, it is important that the tip of the arms (3rd position) are at the highest point , as shown in Figure 3c. •Following the illustration that most resembles the rear of your vehicle, adjust arm and rear leg to position carrier. •Retighten knobs. Do not overtighten knobs. NOTE: To keep legs/feet firmly against glass of square back vehicles, lean carrier slightly farther away from vehicle.

NEVER bring strap over the top of hook (Fig. 4b). S-hook special application: If top hinge line has a rubber seal or indicated in fit guide, use large bend in S-hook. To do so: remove strap from buckle, thread end of strap into either slot in the hook and pull through (Fig. 4c). Rethread strap as shown in Fig. 4d. NOTE: S-hook attachment must be to a supported hinge line - NEVER hook to glass, unsupported plastic, or roof rack. • Attach lower hook straps to bottom edge of trunk at position C2; and side hook straps to the side at position C1 or above bend in trunk at position C3 (Fig. 5). NOTE: For square back vehicles such as mini-vans, make sure the side straps are inline with aluminum cylinder. ATTACH STRAPS: Figure 5 LOWER STRAP HOOK SIDE STRAP HOOK 2 Figure 4a Figure 4b Figure 4d Figure 4c Figure 6 Lower strap hook special application: ONLY IF SPECIFIED IN CURRENT FIT CHART Some vehicles require placing the lower strap hook completely inside the trunk. To do so, loosen lower strap, place hook inside trunk, close trunk, pull strap until hook braces against trunk wall, and tighten as usual (Fig. 6). •Tighten all straps evenly, removing any slack. When straps are taut, shake carrier to check for any movement. Retighten if necessary. 1 2 3 Locking Knobs R R 5253 Verona Road Madison, WI 53711 1-800-783-7257 Made in U.S.A. 10690 Rev.
