To install the Thule T2 Classic 9046, first attach the hitch to the receiver on your vehicle. Ensure it is securely locked in place using the provided pin and lock mechanism. Follow the instructions in the manual to secure the rack arms and wheel trays.
The Thule T2 Classic 9046 is designed to carry bikes weighing up to 60 pounds each. Ensure that the combined weight does not exceed the capacity of the rack and your vehicle's hitch system.
To adjust the wheel trays, loosen the knobs located underneath each tray. Slide the trays to the desired position to accommodate different bike sizes, then retighten the knobs to secure them in place.
If you experience wobbling, check that the hitch pin is fully engaged and locked. Ensure all bolts and knobs are tightened properly. You can also use a hitch tightener or anti-rattle device to minimize movement.
Regularly clean the rack with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Check all nuts, bolts, and locks for tightness. Lubricate moving parts annually to ensure smooth operation.
Yes, the Thule T2 Classic 9046 comes with integrated cable locks that secure bikes to the rack. Additionally, a locking hitch pin is included to secure the rack to your vehicle.
To fold the rack, pull the release handle located near the base of the rack. This allows the wheel trays to fold up towards the vehicle, minimizing storage space when the rack is not in use.
Ensure that the ratcheting arms are fully extended and adjusted to fit snugly over the front wheel of your bike. If necessary, clean and inspect the ratchet mechanism for any debris or damage that may be preventing proper operation.
Yes, the Thule T2 Classic 9046 can accommodate fat tire bikes with the use of the Thule Fat Tire Kit accessory, which is sold separately. This kit allows the wheel trays to fit wider tires securely.
Yes, the Thule T2 Classic 9046 can be expanded with the Thule T2 Classic Add-On (9046), allowing you to carry up to four bikes. Ensure your vehicle's hitch can support the additional weight.
