To mount the carrier to the vehicle well insert the shank of the carrier into the receiver tube of the hitch.

Weve got about ten inches of ground clearance and about four inches of clearance between the closest part of the carrier and the closest part of the vehicle. Overall weve added about nine inches length to the rear of our vehicle with the carrier arms folded down.
Now we want to check for rear vehicle access. Well remove the pin at the base of the bike carrier and tilt it down. We want to make sure that we can open the cargo door and access the area even with the bike rack mounted to the vehicle. Now well put the rack back up and prepare to load a bike. Well remove the pin at the top of the carrier to fold the arms out.
Well undo the rubber straps of the cradle closest to the vehicle and then we can grab our bike. Well fit it over the arms of the carrier and sit it into the cradles. Then well use those rubber straps to secure the bike frame. With that done our bikes all loaded up and were ready to hit the road.
