Slide the U shaped metal piece into the neck of the carrier (the part that will go into your hitch receiver). Line up the holes with the holes in the neck. Note which side the metal block with the threads is on. Now, slide the neck of the carrier into the hitch receiver, trying your hardest not to move the metal piece inside. Once all the holes are lined up, put the threaded pin through the hole from the side where the threaded metal block is. Tighten it down with a wrench. Place the metal sleeve through the hole on the other side, and over the threaded bolt. Put the lynch pin in the hole of the threaded pin. Done. I know it's clear as mud, if you can't figure it out let me know and I'll make a video for you.

The tilt mechanism can sometimes be stuck, if you examine the bar that goes into the "pneumatic pump area", you'll see it crosses over to the left side to lock the seat... If it isn't engaging, try some WD-40 or tilt chair forward and try in a slightly forward tilt position, and it should engage

On the right side, underneath the seat is a lever. This lever controls the height of the chair and also locks out the tilt feature if it is pushed inward toward the user. Pull it out (ie away from you) and this should fix the problem. If it does not, then there is something mechanically wrong with your product

My phone was really really stretching the use of clamp, so i would go on a limb amd say no, not all amdroid devices. The clamp is on a ball and socket set up to tripod so it does tilt. You can also remove the clamp amd put it on other tripods. Hope this helped!

I bought this Rack and I am VERY DISSAPONTED! The hitch Lock will not work. everytime I turn key, it will only turn so far and it just springs back open. I think the lock is broke! It is ALWAYS OPEN. THen after 20 minutes of messing with it one of the Keys BROKE! Has anyone else had this proble with the lock being open instead of closed when off?

@ alexanderaku, I just bought a Nav edition 5800 a couple of weeks ago. I had the same questions as RY Chua has. Hence did the research and found out the differences. That said, I still bought this phone and love it. I personally can't comment of whether the update on Xpress music has made that screen more sensitive than the current Nav version or not. Although kinetic scrolling is a plus in the new firmware. Apart from that I liked the chrome strip on the Nav compared to the Xpress music, which comes with the same color strip as the rest of the phone (check out the pics of the Nav edition vs. Xpress music). Also, I bought it from a different seller and paid a little extra as amazon didn;t have this price then, so this price is great for the Nav edition.

It all depends on who you get at the ticketing counter. My argument was showing how flexible the carrier was, because it will NOT fit under your seat unless you squeeze it down. This demonstration plus the fact the my dog was well behaved and quiet during the 30 min this argument/convincing session lasted. At boarding time I simply closed all windows so no one even knew I had a dog until I sat down and opened it up again.

Mine don't really lock. I just pull it out and push it back as I need to. I think the locking mechanism is only for the tilt position only. It can lock so that you can tilt it but not pulling it out like an arm and back in. I hope this is helpful.

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please) It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

Mine works ok. I simply lift the lever, the seat can then tilt easily. Then, I press the lever back down the lock position.

This could be pertinent, depending on your build: I had trouble getting the shoulder straps to be narrow enough side-to-side. I'm 5'6" with a slim/avg build, and the straps just slipped off of my shoulders. Tightening them just made the pretty-stiff straps bend on their edges, so I returned it and got another carrier (Ergo) with softer/more closely set straps straps. Could be just me, though!

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

Mine was the same way. The arms that hold the platform up are fairly flexible. A few inches of stretch (1 to 1.5 inches each way) is not bad at all. You can also work with the joins in the arms to see if you can position one of them with a tilt. I didn't need to. My Hyloft has been up for nearly 6 months and I am planning to install another one shortly.

That puzzeled me as well. The picture here shows it facing the other way. When I received it I put it on the way it had to go, used it and then began to wonder why it was "backward". Took it apart but realized there is only one way it goes. My issue is that the balance seems off, bag tips over too easily if it shifts while I play. J

Hi Keith, I got the locking carrier and thought it to be a great piece. I have a Ford escape hybrid, and unfortunately, while the carrier can adjust to fit larger width boards (my SUP is 31.5x 3 or 4 in thick), it must be placed INSIDE the runners on the cross bars. Each connection point from the carrier needs a few inches INSIDE the running boards, meaning less room for my board in the space in between. Unless you have cross bars without running bars that restrict the distance for separating them - I would def measure out the space (leaving about 3 inches on either side of the interior) where you will attach the carrier. Also - I had factory installed crossbars, which were kind of an oval shape. The carrier will fit to any share - but I did find that the bolts that came with the carrier once fully installed nearly touched the roof of my SUV... meaning scratches! I was so sad to see such a great carrier not work for me. Also - I believe it says you can stack boards - Iwoul;dnt recommend tho. Int he end I just got some Dakine board straps then used the crossbar pads that came with this system. Was simple, secure (but not locking), and did the trick without any extra problems.) My recommendation if you still try to get this carrier - measure it out with the space you have. For a 33 in. width - you'll need about 40 inches between running boards to place the kit AND your board. It comes with bolts... but you may want to look into getting after market bolts.
