Bolt connections should be checked again at regular intervals (once a week is enough, depending on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled).

Please also ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre of gravity is kept as low as possible. Bike carrier must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash.
