The Lippert Components, Inc. Import Bike Rack was designed to have a maximum total load capacity of 200 lbs.

Before using a Import Bike Rack, please note the following:

Follow all Lippert Components, Inc. operation instructions. Failure to utilize the instructions provided may result

in damage to the trailer, cause death or serious injury. The Import Bike Rack MUST NOT be used for the mounting

of electric or motorized equipment. Any additional welding modifications to the chassis or bumper will void the

warranty. Any aftermarket attachments by dealers or consumers to the bumper area will not be covered and will

void the warranty of the bumper area. Please be advised that Lippert Components, Inc. frames, bumpers, bike

racks, and hitches are warranted for factory installed equipment by the OEM RV manufacturer only. Call Lippert

Components, Inc. Customer Service at 1-574-537-8900 if you have any further questions.

Bike Rack Weight Ratings

The Import Bike Rack weight rating is based on the height of the main rail tube. Weight ratings for the under-

mounting and over-mounting brackets are as follows:

Under-mount bike rack bracket - 200 lb.

Over-mount bike rack bracket - 200 lb.

Optional under-mount tire carrier with spare tire - 100 lb. additional weight to bike rack of OEM's choice

Optional vertical mounting tube - no additional weight to bike rack, only used for vertical support of carried items.

Lippert Components, Inc. Import Bike Rack should not be used for any other purpose or reason than

its intended use. To use the Import Bike Rack for any reason other than what it was designed for, may

result in death or serious injury.

Failure to acknowledge bike rack weight ratings may result in damage to the trailer.

The Import Bike Rack can be provided with either an under bumper mounting configuration (432223), or an over

bumper mounting configuration (432336). The bike rack can also be equipped with an optional bolt-on under-

mount tire carrier (432585) and vertical mounting tube (118478) to help secure bicycles.

10. Align the weld-on brackets into the previously marked outline on the frame rail, and seam weld the

weld-on brackets onto the frame rail.

11. Let the welds air cool, then clean and paint the brackets with black spray paint.

12. Install one 3/8” flat washer on each of the 8 supplied ⁄”-16 x 1 ½” zinc bolts (4 per support arm) and

then insert the bolt through the precut slot in both the support arm brackets and the brackets welded

on the chassis.

NOTE: Bolt should be inserted from the top chassis bracket down through the support arm.

13. Install an additional washer over the exposed thread of the bolt, and then thread and secure a 3/8”

nyloc nut.

14. At this point, the bike rack support arms should be attached securely to the chassis.

Over Bumper Attachment Assembly

NOTE: Verify that trailer is not equipped with the weld-on brackets (Fig. 3). The trailer MUST NOT have

these brackets in order to complete the installation of the over bumper bike rack brackets. If the

brackets are present, either grind off the weld-on brackets or order the under bumper bike rack

attachments.

NOTE: The over bumper bike rack attachments are not interchangeable and are side specific.

1. Place the roadside bracket on the roadside chassis rail. The bottom flange of the bike rack bracket (Fig.

9A) will rest on the lower shoulder of the I-beam lip (Fig. 9B).

Fig. 9 Fig. 10

Fig. 11

NOTE: Approximately 16” of the bike rack bracket will extend past the end of the frame rails (Fig. 10). It is

important to maintain that distance as the bike rack will not stow properly in the upright position

if that measurement is less.

2. Clamp the bike rack attachment to the I-beam.

3. With a ⁄” drill bit, drill through the bike rack bracket and the I-beam (Fig. 10A).

4. Install a ⁄”-16 x 1” bolt (Fig. 11A) through a ⁄” flat washer (Fig. 11B), the bike rack bracket and lastly

through the I-beam. Do this to both of the 2 drilled holes.

5. Install an additional ⁄” flat washer (Fig. 11B) over the exposed thread and secure with a ⁄”-16 nyloc

nut (Fig. 11C).

Failure to acknowledge tire carrier weight ratings may result in damage to the trailer. Lippert spare tire

carriers are not intended to be used for more than one spare tire. The combined weight of the spare tire

carrier and tire must not exceed a total weight of 100 lbs.

Prior to transporting the trailer, note the new departure angle with the spare tire carrier and spare tire

attached. The new angle will be less than the original departure angle.
