Bell 3 bike rack instruction manual

Pull the two arms these are not connected and support the bikes of the bike rack until they are pointed away from your vehicle. You should be able to imagine placing your bike on these arms and having the bike's tires appear to be upright, just floating above the ground.

The arms of the rack will then be parallel to the ground. Take two of the straps and run them from the bike rack up to the hinge of your boot. Open your boot slightly and insert the two clips at the end of the straps into the space between the boot lid and the frame of your car. Close the boot and tug on the straps a bit to make sure the clips are firmly caught between the lid and the frame of the boot. Tighten the straps by pulling the strap ends through the buckles on each strap.

Tighten the strap just enough to hold your Bell bike rack in place. Attach the remaining two straps to the bottom of your boot lid by holding each clip in place so it is hooked around the bottom edge of the door and tightening the strap until it remains in place by itself. Tighten all the straps as far as they will go. Secure the Velcro straps around the frame of your bike. After mounting the bike, double check that the straps are still secure. The added weight of the bike may slightly loosen the straps.

If you're going on a long trip, it's a good idea to check the straps each time you stop for gas. Janet Renee is a clinical dietitian with a special interest in weight management, sports dietetics, medical nutrition therapy and diet trends.
