Thule Hitch Switch
This lever is used at two places on the Thule Roadway bike carrier. One lever is at the base of the rack, where the shank (part that slides into the trailer hitch) is connected to the upright bar. By simply lifting up on the lever (the hitch switch), it allows the upright bar to tilt forward. To raise the rack back into position just push the rack towards the vehicle until you hear the hitch switch click into place. The hitch switch is also located at the top of the rack where the two arms that carry the bikes meet the upright bar. Again, simply lift the lever to fold the arms down for storage. This is much easier than messing around with pins, clips and cables.
Thule Stinger Swinger
The piece of the rack that slides into the trailer hitch on the vehicle is often referred to as the base, shank or stinger. The stinger on this Thule bike rack can easily be switched from the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" size to the 2" x 2" size by sliding a one piece, 2" sleeve over the 1-1/4" stinger. It is held in place with one screw.
