Using this Yakima JustClick 2 Tow Ball Bike Carrier is super easy. First, find a suitable tow ball on your vehicle. Use the 'Just Click' system to attach the carrier to the tow ball. Look for the red/green indicator to turn green, which means it's securely attached. When loading your bikes, adjust the extendable wheel tray to fit your bike's frame size. If you have an electric bike, you can use the drive - up ramp (sold separately) to load it more easily. Remember, the carrier can hold a total maximum bike weight of 58 kg. For storage, the integrated wheels on the carrier make it simple to move it around. When you need to access the rear of your vehicle, use the tilting system. As for maintenance, regularly check the lock system to make sure it's working properly. Also, keep an eye on the 7 - pin flat plug for any signs of wear and tear. Avoid overloading the carrier beyond its capacity to ensure its longevity.
