• To adjust rear legs, loosen knobs, remove from end of cylinder and
reposition (A).
• To adjust arms, loosen knobs, slide to center of aluminum cylinder and
rotate (B).NOTE: It is not necessary to move bumper legs, as the
bones rack is pre-assembled to fit a majority of vehicles and bicycles.
However, it offers the flexibility of a wider arm or base spread if necessary.
To do so, remove rear legs, bumper legs, and arms and reposition
symmetrically as desired. For questions, see a local Saris dealer or call
1-800-783-7257 (C).

are at the highest point , as shown in Figure 3c. If you do not follow these
instructions, you run the risk of breaking the arm.
•Following the illustration that most resembles the rear of your
vehicle, adjust arm and rear leg to position carrier.
•Retighten knobs. Do not overtighten knobs.

slightly farther away from vehicle.

FINALLY – A
COMPANY THAT
LOVES BIKES AS
MUCH AS YOU DO.
Chances are, your bikes are just like
ours - your most valued possessions.
And if it has the Saris name on it,
nothing we build goes out the door
unless it’s worth putting those
possessions on. Call it obsessive. Call
it eccentric. We just chalk it up to
caring a hell of a lot about creating
the last rack you’ll ever need.

the carrier or its straps. Make
sure foot pads are free of any
debris that could scratch vehicle’s
finish.
Bones is a bumper-supported bike rack.
Be sure to check Saris Fit Guide before
installing rack on vehicle.

Lower strap hook special application:
ONLY IF SPECIFIED IN CURRENT FIT CHART
Some vehicles require placing the lower strap hook
completely inside the trunk. To do so, loosen lower strap,
place hook inside trunk, close trunk, pull strap until hook
braces against trunk wall, and tighten as usual (Fig. 6).
•Tighten all straps evenly, removing any slack. When
straps are taut, shake carrier to check for any movement.
Retighten if necessary.
