Sikkerhedsfunktioner

The Yakima FrontLoader offers integrated security to protect your bike and the rack itself.

• The rack includes a cable lock that threads through your bike frame and the small hoop, then locks into the rack.
• For enhanced security, the FrontLoader is compatible with Yakima's SKS (Same Key System) lock cores (sold separately). This allows you to use a single key for all your Yakima gear, including the FrontLoader and other accessories.

Opretholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Yakima FrontLoader, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Periodically inspect all fasteners and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Clean the rack regularly with mild soap and water, especially after exposure to dirt, salt, or harsh weather conditions.
• Lubricate moving parts, such as the spinning knob and wheel hoop mechanism, as needed to ensure smooth operation.
• Store the rack in a dry, protected area when not in use to prevent corrosion and wear.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter any issues with your Yakima FrontLoader, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Rack feels loose: Re-check all mounting clamps and T-bolts to ensure they are fully tightened according to the installation instructions.
• Bike is not stable: Ensure the front wheel hoop is fully engaged and the red knob is tightened securely. Verify the rear wheel strap is ratcheted tight.
