5.8.1 Rear-mounted CARRYBACK bicycle carrier
Models: Saphir / Bianco Selection / Tendenza / Opal
from 2019 series - only for model/layout 515 SG
The AL-KO basic carrier system “CARRYBACK” consists of an exten-
dable basic carrier and a rail system that is mounted on the camper.
The basic carrier is tted with a ball-and-socket coupling that is used
for tting typical spherical bicycle carriers.
• The retaining system may only be mounted on campers that have
specically been prepared in the factory for such a purpose.
Approved models / series: see chapter heading
• Use of the retaining system on other Fendt campers does not con-
stitute proper use and could be dangerous for the user’s life and
limb or cause damage to other property.
• The retaining system may only be used to mount an approved car-
rier system for a maximum of two bicycles.
• The retaining system may only be mounted and used together with
AL KO’s ATC Automatic Trailer Control.
• The carrier system has been designed to carry a maximum load of
60 kg.
• It has a maximum reach (centre of gravity: bicycle carrier to ball
centre) of 300 mm.
• The retaining system may not be used for pulling or towing.
• The design or construction of the retaining system may not be mo-
died.
• Do not use the retaining system as a step or seat.
• Any other or further use is forbidden and considered to be contrary
to the designated use.
• The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from impro-
per use. The owner/driver of the vehicle is responsible for ensuring
the proper use as well as secure mounting and loading of the retai-
ning system.
• The driving performance of the car and camper may change con-
siderably when the carrier system is loaded. The speed must be
adjusted accordingly. The critical speed sinks drastically even if the
carrier has been optimally loaded. When the carrier is pulled out
and bicycles are carried, the maximum speed is 80 km/h. This
applies even though the car and camper are capable of doing 100
km/h!
• Observe slope angles; if a climb is steep, the slope angle (ferry,
steep hills) is considerably reduced.
• The length of the vehicle changes when the carrier system is pulled
out (driving backwards, parking).
• Before driving, always check that the cotter pins and clamping bolts
are securely fastened.
• Check the assembly of the carrier and the load after having driven
a short distance (approx. 20 km) and again later on at reasonable
intervals.
