To install the THULE Freeride 532 Roof Mounted Bike Rack, please follow these steps:
1. Start by unpacking the contents of the box and ensure that you have all the necessary parts mentioned in the manual.
2. Before installation, make sure your vehicle has roof bars or a roof rack system that is compatible with the THULE Freeride 532. The rack is designed to fit most square, round, and aero-shaped bars.
3. Place the bike rack on a flat surface and adjust the wheel holders to fit the size of your bike tires. The wheel holders can be adjusted by loosening the knobs on the sides and sliding them to the desired position.
4. Attach the bike rack to the roof bars or roof rack system on your vehicle. Position the rack so that it is centered and evenly spaced on the bars.
5. Secure the bike rack to the roof bars using the provided clamps. The clamps should be tightened securely, but be careful not to overtighten and damage the bars.
6. Once the bike rack is securely attached to the roof bars, place your bike onto the rack. Lift the bike onto the rack, ensuring that the frame rests on the rubberized straps provided. The straps should be tightened around the frame to secure the bike in place.
7. After securing the bike, double-check that all the straps and knobs are tightened properly and that the bike is stable on the rack.
8. Before driving, test the stability of the bike rack and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a secure fit.
